skate journal: sunny crowded broomfield (feb 8, 2025)
Left Boulder and it was super cloudy and cold. Got to Broomfield and the sun was out and it did not feel cold. I was meeting Bratcher, Gordon and Eric. But crew after crew of older dudes showed up. It was kind of awesome, but also overwhelming for the mood I was in. I would never get going. The only thing I had I liked was a front 50 on the black ledge then noseslide to fakie the bank to ledge, also a fakie bigflip and a questionable treflip. None of which came easy. I was a bit hesitant not wanting to hurt the calf. Eric was ripping. Saw him 50 the ledge into the bank, manuals, tailslides, heelflips, axle to fakie the quartapotty. Bratcher was on the slappy and boardslide tip, getting some good ones. Gordon megapop nollie grinds. Darin doing his routine. After a lengthy session they went to Kings Mill. I left with the intention of joining, but the warmth of the car felt so nice and I ended up just driving home.
