skate journal: broomfield with cass and kevin (jan 15, 2022)
Cold morning so we let it warm up for awhile and met at Broomfield park at 11:30. We pretty much had the park to ourselves. There would be a couple other people, but never really felt like it. Kevin was quick to pop onto stuff. After a while we played a game of SKATE. Kevin won of course, but I did get a few of my tricks. Black ledge was the main attraction for a bit. Kevin rattled off nollie nosegrinds, nollie front crooks and a bunch more. Cass had posting up on tailslides and was thinking flip out, solid crooks. I struggled with front 50s, but was getting up onto it more frequently than normal. Had a couple accidental 5-0s. Tried noseslide 270 shove and was not close, had a few crooks. Tried a lot of flippers, but didn’t land much. We played a game of no repeat SKATE which Kevin easily won. Then we finished on the blue box. I tried halfcab crooks and may have gotten some little jibs, but definitely not a legit one. Cass did back 180 nosegrind, fakie back tails. Fun session even if I didn’t really land much. Afterwards Kevin and I went and hung out with Fuzz which was great.
