After a somewhat chill Friday at work I went to meet Kevin and Sean at Broomfield. They had already been skating a while and were trying harder stuff. Kevin was in kick back tail mode, Sean was trying nollie back nosegrind shove (the hard way) which he would get. I had put cast baseplates back on, and a top washer so my trucks were tighter. And I really liked it. I would get a few tricks first try. B/s flip, varial flip, heelflip, halfcab nosesldie, crooks. I would do one of the better crooks I’ve done there. We played a game of SKATE. I was the first out even though Kevin was dealing with hot pocket issues. I started trying front 50s and Kevin pointed out I take a weird angle into them. So I tried without the weird last second turn and he was totally right. I couldn’t immediately change my habits, but I did get a decent front 50 for once. It’s crazy how avoiding the weird turn before ollieing increased my pop. So it was hard to control. Kevin was doing a bunch of tricks. Chill, but fun Friday.
