skate journal: broomfield skatepark, sheridan DIY, NIB Parris ditch (march 15, 2025)
Another day, more skating! We went to Broomfield where quite a few people would be skating. We added Hayden, Bo, Rob, Will. I had made a totally random setup change and it didn’t really work for anything other than crooks on the black box. 8.25 with Indy hollow mids. Some of us played a game of SKATE. Bo won it on a heelflip, I think I was the first out. Will had his ledge moves and added back smith. Bo was an amazing ball of energy popping up / on / over everything in sight. He even kickflipped over the double set rail! Was going seeing Rob out there getting his manuals on the banked pad, front boards, noseslides, shifty flyouts. Hayden looked pretty good, popping around and front 180 fakie manual the bump to pad, back nosegrinds, a lot of ripping. Joe struggled a bit with front smiths again which was surprising.
After a big lunch we ended up at Sheridan DIY. Most of us were zorched. Skelly was charging though. So good to see. Hayden even just messing around was ripping and the impromptu double curb wallie was so good. We had some fun quad boardslides on a railroad beam. I had the little slash then wallie which was fun.
Then we went to Parris’ backyard ditch. He had a crew already there, but it was chill. One dude Johnny was ripping it so good. Skelly would go on to shred too. I did one front 50 in the pool coping and a totally not decked front rock on the rocks. Joe with the axle stalls on pool coping which he wasn’t used to. Keegan front d on the rocks. Ben got in on the action, had some fun grinds. Then we chilled by a fire as it had gotten super cold. Fun day, so sore, taking tomorrow off!
