skate journal: broomfield blah before filming (Oct 1, 2022)
Went to Broomfield park not super early and met up with Sean, Collin and Cass. The first thing Collin did was a switch flip. It was like hanging with Kevin ha ha. It’s been a few days since the session and I’m jaded from editing so much since then. I will say I hadn’t really seen Collin skate a park like that and wow he’s good. The kickflip crooks, cab crooks, nollie front 180 crooks and I think a switch tre in there too. Sean killed it like he does. The back nosegrinds on the happy ledge and nollie back nosegrind 180 were so smooth every time. I had one line that I liked of front 50 shove the blue ledge then turn around and nollie back tail it. Other than that I didn’t have much energy or drive. Cass had some good fakie back tails, front noses, front tails. Him and I played a game of SKATE which he easily won and he hasn’t skated in a few weeks. Argh. A few other dudes had shown. One dude that is kind of a favorite of mine that is way better than he looks like he would be. Stokes me out. He had switch tre and back tail bigspin first try. Then we went to a gnarly spot for Sean to try and ollie and unfortunately he got smoked. Then to a nearby ledge where Garrett did a cool crook while Jack filmed it. But nothing for the video.
