On a sunny and hot summer afternoon we gathered at Broomfield park. It was Sean, Rob and I for most of the session. Carleigh and Patrick were pretty late and tired anyway after traveling. Things started slow, never really got firing, but it was still fun. Sean rattled off his ledge basics like he does and seemed to have more spring in his flippers. Rob had some crooks, mannies, noseslides the bank to ledge, patented fakie bigspin to quick nollie shove to quick no comply shove. I continued to enjoy my smaller setup even if I was still struggling to treflip. Had some okay crooks and several fly out kickflips in a row. Sean and I played a game of SKATE. I hung in there okay for me and got him on fakie bigflip and treflip. The treflip felt amazing actually. I had done a couple 270 flips that didn’t count before that, but getting a clean one felt amazing. I was pretty much spent after that. Carleigh and Patrick mostly cruised and chilled as they were tired. I made sure Carleigh knew that back disaster was a requirement. Fun session, thankful for the shade the trees provide there.

(setup 8/10 8.1 null all you need, jessup ultragrip, thunder hollow 147, 51mm spitfire f4 classic 101a, new balance numeric 272 blue size 12 half insoles)
(pain level 4/10 less pain when wearing vulcs vs cups makes no sense but I’ll take it)
