All packed up and ready to head to my mom’s and then Vegas to visit some family. Golden park would be right on the way, but I decided Broomfield is worth a bit of extra drive. The park was mostly empty. There was another older dude at one point and then a couple younger dudes. But I mostly skated in ways that I like to when the park is empty. I was trying to manual the blue box then ollie onto the down slant ledge, but the older dude was working on front 50s and I didn’t want to barge his session. So I tried to manual the black ledge instead and got just as close. I was determined to get back 50s back. I snuck a few attempts on the blue ledge, never got one, but did get a back 5-0 shove out. Ha. Hadn’t done that in awhile. Had a fu line of tiny ollie to fakie on the brick qp, switch front 180 the parking block, front 50 down the slanted ledge, axle to fakie the quartapotty, switch front nose the blue ledge. Hyped on that line. Also tried for awhile to do a bank ride on the top, kickflip to fakie on the hump and then switch 180 into the bank, but I was ever ready for the bank. God a couple terrible halfcab noseslides that were not posted up at all. Got front 50 shove, front 50 front 180 out, front 50 to front board (first try and it’s been awhile for that one). Couldn’t get close to noseslide 270 shove. Crooks were bad. I was really sore, but said I couldn’t leave until I got a clean back 50 on the blue ledge. So basic, but I seem to have totally lost that trick unless there is a wall behind me. I added a few flip tricks and quartapotty tricks to the mix. I did get a back 50 and I called it quits and drove to BV.
