skate journal: broomfield park after work with carleigh (sept 7, 2016 day 251)
Posted in Skate Journal on September 8th, 2016 by corpoAfter a busy day of work I went to Crisis, did bidness and chilled for a bit before heading to Broomfield park. I had the whole park to myself for about 5 minutes of fun basic warmups. Then a couple carloads of scooter kids showed, some locals and eventually Carleigh. I had a new board and it was feeling good. 8.38 with 8″ trucks. I think I’ll run this combo for at least a few more days. Ha. I skated mostly the black and blue ledges. Got front 50, front 50 shove, front 50 180, crooks, halfcab noseslide, back 50 (on blue only), halfcab boardslide all relatively quick which was a nice change of pace for lately. Carleigh showed and we skated the pole jam for awhile. We both got really bad no comply grab jams. It was new for her. Then she shredded the bowl while I tried to look cool standing on the deck. I did drop into the shallow/hip at least. Then it was more back to the normal routine for me between the ledges and quarta potty. Got close to a fakie front 50 b/s halfcab out. Carleigh was trying back disasters, didn’t get one this time. I got a front feeble to fakie on the quartapotty, a 360 flip on flat. Didn’t get front nosegrind the blue ledge or noseslide 270 shove the black ledge, but I still had fun.
