skate journal: rob is back! broomfield then safeway (march 27, 2015 day 83)
Met up with Rob and Dave at Crisis. We hung out for awhile, did bidness and watched some rad old H-Street videos. Then we went to Broomfield park. Almost no one was there. After watching those videos I was some of the most hyped I’ve been in awhile to skate. Unfortunately it didn’t result in me being able to skate worth a shit as I struggled like crazy initially. Rob was keeping it mellow and feeling out his board again. He still did some good boardslides, crooks, manuals, etc. Dave was manualling the steep cement bank like it was nothing. He had a cool dropin on the hubba to the deck of the quartapotty then rolled in. So rad. I had a couple lines around the park that felt cool. Had some f/s ollies on the brick qp that felt neat and crooks up the little escalator ledge. Near the end Dave and I were trying lines starting at the top. He got a long back tail on the hump, boardslide down the rail then nose manual the black box! So good. If only he didn’t slam on the rock fakie after. Ha. I had an ok run of f/s flip on the hump, front 180 into the bank then halfcab noseslide the black ledge. I was trying for halfcab flip on the hump, kickflip into the hip then a f/s 50 shove, but I never got the kickflip into the bank.
Then we went to Safeway ledge for awhile. It was fun! Rob kept getting the feel back and did some switch boardslides, noseslide 270 and more. I did like 5 or 6 kick back 50s. Tried to do 5-0s a couple times, but only got 50s. Tried back 50 shove and got close. Dave and I both got front tailslides. His was good. Then we did front crooks! Well, I did little ones to fakie where I push off the wall. Dave did the manly one above!
