So happy Safeway ledge is mostly skateable again. ❤️❤️❤️

Feeling a little tired and the wind had kind of killed me motivation I went to Safeway for the first time all winter just hoping it was dry. It wasn’t completely dry, but the main ledge was skateable. I started with the standard no ollie noseslides which seemed pretty good. Then my first couple of ollies had a weird pain in my left knee. Ugh. It ended up being alright though. Front 50s were fun. I tried a bunch of back 50s, never getting a totally clean one. I kept tic tac’ing in the grind or something. I did a front tailslide! A real one. Ha, it still only slid a few inches, but that is progress. Got a sloppy kick back 50. Hucked a bunch of tricks without getting close. Front crooks, switch crooks, halfcab crooks, kickflip crooks, front smiths. I basically just tried 3 flip tricks the whole time going back. 360 flip (got 4 of them), switch heel (got close once) and nollie inward heel (got really close a few times). It was pretty fun, would have been more fun had more icy melted so the fence ledge was skateable too.

Woke up early on a Saturday feeling much better then the last few days. So I drove through some dense fog to Broomfield park where I had the park all to myself for a couple of hours. It was really cold initially, but the sun would eventually come out and warm things up. I started on the quartapotty and blue box area, but was getting on the blue and black ledges somewhat quickly. I never stuck with any one thing too long. I struggled with back 50s once again, but would eventually get them on the blue box. Front 50 shove, front 5-0, crooks on the black ledge. Front tail on the blue ledge, tried fakie front 50 switch 180 out, but never got out of it right. Boardslid the little rail, had a couple 360 flips, manual the blow box, couldn’t nose manual it. I cruised around a lit trying different things. I couldn’t get nosegrind on the blue ledge either, but I did get pretty close. That park is so fun cruising around solo. Eventually a couple kids showed up and would complain about being tired/sore and sit down frequently. Wusses. Ha.

Later on I met up with a fun crew of Nullers and more. Riley, Bernie, Nolan, Ladd and Carleigh. I was super tired in filmer mode and didn’t really skate the first spot. Nolan got close to doing a cool pole jam rock fakie. Then we went to this kicker spot. Riley rattled off like 20 tricks as did Ladd. Nolan had a nice 360 flip and switch 360. Carleigh had shove quick, kickflip and front 180. I did a couple early grabs which were fun so I started hucking and went with f/s halfcab flip. 2 hours later I landed it! (pretty poorly, but it kind of adds to it)
