skate journal: broomfield with darin’s crew and will (aug 20, 2024)
After work, chill time and dinner I made myself get up and go to Broomfield park. My reward for hurrying to the park was rain as soon as I pulled in. Ha. Darin was still there as was Jameson. We dorked around a little in the covered area on the bike rack. Jameson brought out one of those 14″ egg boards and we goofed around on it. I couldn’t commit to kickflip, but he treflipped it first try. The park dried super quickly though. Those guys warmed up on flat near the tables, I warmed up on the bank to curb. I was wearing some vulcs and yet felt very off initially. I was able to get a hurricane pretty quickly, but not a blunt to pivot. Jameson was rattling off tricks. Darin went in on treflips so I did as well. We both took a while to get over-50 makes, but left them at that. Both got first try heelflips after that. He would add kickflip, which I surprisingly took like 5 tries to get one. Then Will and I hit the ledges for a while. He rattled off tricks. Front 50 then front tail then front smith into the bank. Back nosegrind and back tail on the black ledge after. I would finally get a front 50 into the bank after more struggle than normal. Bailed several crooks. Justin had shown and was shredding. I’m not sure I had anything else. It sounds like nothing and I definitely don’t have much to show for it, but it was a fun session.
