After a snowy, cold and lazy morning Neil tried to convince me that it wasn’t snowing in Broomfield. Seeing as how there was already a couple inches of new snow in Boulder I didn’t really believe him, but figured I’d try anyway. Neil was right! We went by the park and saw it was dry, but decided to use it as a backup if we couldn’t find something better. Low and behold we found this spot, a spot I used to skate with Jason a lot. The temperature was 19 or 20. Cold. I had long johns on under my jeans. I mostly started warming up on the bank to stairs. Front pivot, front tail, couldn’t stall backside for some reason so just kickflipped in instead (way easier). Neil was popping one foots, no comply to tail. We both took several tries to ollie the two stair into the bank. It’s scary for some reason. Maybe the rough ground and the big metal contraption sticking out. I don’t know, but we dedicated a try to Jason and that got us to both commit. We also raced to kickflip up the two stair. It tooks us forever, but I eventually got a rocket flip to somehow make it up the two stair.

Then we started filming each other with our phones. Neil got another line that was super rad with a pop shove in, boneless, no comply to tail and kickflip to fakie. Whew. He was also messing around with long nose manuals, but kept running into ice/cracks/rocks/etc.

I had fun with the one above. Also got another line with a front 180 off the corner of the two stair and a fakie varial flip as well as 360 flip to fakie.

Then we went to the park and it seemed like it got way colder. My bushing started to freeze up something fierce. We mostly just cruised and then Neil got in the car. I did a few basic tricks on the black ledge and called it a day. Stoked we filmed a little even if it was with phones.
