skate journal: broomfield park meh with cass (july 21, 2024)
On a day with rain forecasted all day I met Cass at a very bright, sunny and warm Broomfield park. I was really sore and didn’t feel like wearing the same shoes so I switched them up for some 574 vulcs. I did feel less sore in them, but they made my setup feel huge and heavy. For some reason I had very little juice. After a while Cass was doing such good fakie back tails on the lurb that I setup the camera. I couldn’t get a back 50 to save my life. I did get another fakie 50 switch front shove though and it felt cool. Cass went on to do kickflip 50 and front shove 50. So sick. We played a game of SKATE that had some good tricks .. by Cass. He got me on fakie flip, halfcab flip, treflip, hardflip and won with backside bigspin. I did at least get him on heelflip and f/s halfcab flip though. Darin showed after this and we skated a little, but mostly just watched and listened to him. Not sure why I had so little energy.
