Carleigh and I both kinda wanted to go to the Erie park, but I didn’t want to push my shoulder that hard and wanted to just skate small stuff. So we went to Broomfield. It was in the low 60s during the day, but at 8pm it was in the mid 30s and felt cold. The super loud biker crew was there being as annoying as ever. We warmed up with some runs around the flow bowls. Carleigh hauls ass in that thing. I was still getting used to trucks that aren’t known for turning, but it actually seemed fine. Off to the street course where only a few people were skating. One of which was a Mark Suciu clone doing manual the black box to manual to the blue box up to manual to kickflip out. Insane. There was also an ultra hipster trying to front 50 everything, but would end up just riding less than an inch away from the edge of the ledge. It was bizarre to me. The session was mellow and really fun for me. I was loving how much pop my new setup had and how easy it is to maneuver. I saw Carleigh trying a bunch of flippers, some front tails and do some cool wallrides. She said she was “sucking”, but I didn’t think so. The things I did that I was hyped on were front 50 back 180 out (blue ledge), manual the blue ledge then ollie onto the downhill blue ledge then front feeble the quarterpotty, kick back 50 (blue ledge), 3 flip on flat. It was fun skating again and I managed to not hurt my shoulder at all. Whew!
