skate journal: broomfield park with a solid crew (july 29, 2018)
Still feeling sick and worn down from traveling I went to Broomfield park to meet up with Jake and Rob. Jake brought Lazer. Rob told Eric. The crew grew and it was awesome. I was feeling incredibly rusty. Jake started off strong getting a line of front 50 the black box, boardslide the bump to bar, come back and front 180 in to the bank then halfcab noseslide the black ledge. He had moved on to front 5-0 then front tail on the bump to bar before I did the first line, but with a much worse haflcab noseslide. Rob did a better halfcab noseslide than both of us. Lazer was shredding everything. Solid and fast 50s on the ledge and cool transition tricks. Eric had a first try heelflip over the parking block so sick. He also got into some crooks on the black ledge, back 50s the blue ledge. Rob was doing some long front 50s on the blue ledge and got a sick back 180 out, manuals around the top part of the park, manuals on the mountain bank. Jake did some f/s flips on the hump, front tails on the steep bank, then battled front noseblunt for awhile and did it right after I turned off my phone. Kevin showed up with his friend Mike. Rob and Eric bounced. Sean showed. At this point I had given up ollies and joined Lazer with a low to high session. Lazer did front pivot and rock fakie too. He bounced shortly after that with Jake. I have never skated it before. It took me about 100 tries to do the disaster. In that time Kevin had done tail, switch rock and front pivot. I got his back when he did the front pivot. Mike and Sean were skating the manny pad. Mike had some sick kickflip manuals and close to kickflip nose manual. Then another dude joined in on the manny fun (as I battled front disaster). Other dude did kickflip manual, kickflip nose manual, manual kickflip out and I think nose manual nollie flip. Sean did kickflip nose manual front 180 super easy. Fun session, but man I was rusty and sore.
