skate journal: solo broomfield park then rock mtn elm with dave (march 14, day 72)

Posted in Skate Journal on March 15th, 2015 by corpo

Woke up early as I like to do on Saturdays. It was already nice out. I got ready for the day and loaded up the car with boards to bring to Sol and Crisis then went to Broomfield park. I had the whole park to myself for awhile. I mostly dorked around and was still feeling sore and uncoordinated. Not sure why I’ve been so sore lately. It took me awhile to get a back 50 on the blue ledge. So that’s how bad I started. I settled in on some black ledge action doing lines with front 50, front 50 180, front 5-0 or front 50 shove to start, then either b/s flip, fakie flip, boneless over the rail or bean plant on the mellow bank then either crooks, boardslide, noseslide or try to back 50 the black ledge. I was 1/50 on the back 50. Ugh. Without anyone else there I did some other dorking like trying to ollie the little down bar, tiny ollies on the brick qp and lastly back tail slide on the low side of the angled brown ledge. I got a couple back tail stalls, but no slides. Hardest trick ever.

I hung out at Crisis for awhile then met Dave at Rocky Mtn Elem in Longmont. I was super sore initially, but ended up skating some of the best I have for a brief period. I was doing b/s ollies over a band median, rolling off the curb then kickflipping up the curb then doing crooks. Got one back 50. Going the other way I was doing some of the best front 50 shoves I’ve ever done, then pop shove then bean plant over a median. Stoked. Dave wanted to film it, but he was doing this rad fastplant pop shove over a median so we filmed that first. When I went back to film my line I could no longer front 50 shove. It was kind of depressing that I could lose my edge that quick. Oh well, at least at one point I was skating good.
