skate journal: double banks in broomfield with rob, dave and fuzz (june 24, 2017)
After a fun morning of helping Saul pour the last of the crete we all met at Crisis around 2pm. We drove off to a new spot Rob had found that looked really fun. It was. But unfortunately we got the boot really quick. Rob had done some axle stalls and smiths, Fuzz tried some ollies over a gap, I tried some axle stalls and slappy crooks, Dave did pivots. This spot has a ton of potential, hopefully we can get some time at it. Then we ended up at the double bank spot. Hype wasn’t too high, but we rolled it for awhile and before long it was a pretty heated and awesome session. We busted out the camera, lines were filmed, tricks were landed, fun was had. Rob with the steezy ollies and beanplant to tail. Dave back tails, front nosestall on the low bar, front 50 the low bar, switch shoves. Fuzz fakie flip the smaller bank then kickflip to fakie the steeper one first try. So sick. He almost got another banger line, but ran out of juice. I struggled with kickflips to fakie, but kind of got a line that I actually like with a kickflip to fakie on the smaller bank, fakie ollie the steep bank then alley oop boneless to terrible landing. Dave got the shaft having to film the longest. Sorry Dave. He also had the worst slam of the session hanging catching the inside of his arm on the bar. Then we were supposed to hit Safeway, but ended up skating the Crisis curb. I mostly sat after a slappy crook or two. Rob had slappy crook and crook to fakie, feebles, almost lap over smith or whatever that is called. Fuzz slappy feeble. Dave front hurricane! Justin and Connor were skating too. Justin was going bonkers. Slappy crook to feeble, crook to boardslide, crook to 5-0. Switch slappy crook bigspin, switch front crook fakie flip out. Dude destroys slappys.
