skate journal: broomfield sucking in the cold (jan 14, 2021)
After work I met Jake and Kevin at Broomfield park. Jake had already been there and was already stacking tricks on the black ledge. Kevin and I had done some warm ups when Jake missed a crook. So I said to Kevin ‘lets do crooks and beam him’. Kevin did such a good crooks and stared at Jake who responded with ‘you jerk’ then Kevin pointed to me right as I did one too. Ha ha. Jake is obviously a good sport or we wouldn’t be doing that and we all had a good laugh. Other than an accidental 5-0 turned shove out I would go on to have an absolutely terrible session. It’s been a few days as I’m writing this so I’ll just leave it at that for me. Jake ripped. Front tails, front tail fakies, fakie back tail, f/s halfcab noseslide, front tail the steep bank, 5-0 to fakie on it too. Kevin struggled with the typical Kevin tricks, but seemed to land everything else. He took a bit to get switch nosegrind 180, nollie nosegrind. But of course his switch and nollie flips were super on point.
