skate journal: northglenn contest judging, flatground then broomfield park (aug 16, 2014)

Got to NorthGLENn park at 10am to be one of the judges for a contest. I messed around for awhile not doing anything serious. John and I tried treflips for awhile. He got one. But we missed most of them. I didn’t get one. Then the beginners started and luckily I wasn’t judging that so I went to the basketball court and skated flat. Landed most everything for awhile and it felt pretty good. Everything except for the treflip of course. I have to admit ever since my last Ventures worn through and I put the PJ ones on again they have felt horrible. Might be the precursor for another change. Then after 7 hours of sitting and judging in the heat with almost no food John and I went to Broomfield for what we hoped would be a mellow session. It turned out that Colorado’s newest pro Tyler Price was there as well as some other Colorado heavy hitters. We mostly skated the black ledge. Those dudes did good tricks. John and I tried front 50 back 180 out until I landed an absolutely horrible one. Man it was good to see Tyler skate. He has been injured, but was still ripping.
