Matt and I met John at the Broomfield park. We pulled in at the same time. Actually John pulled in right as Matt was opening his door and it was close to taking out my passenger door. Ha. We tooled around for a bit before skating the flow bowl for quite awhile. It was fun. John was shredding. Rock’s both ways on the pool block, blunt on the noping, switch carves, feeble grind the pool coping. Matt took awhile to get the channel ollie, then put down a good one, had some good frontside carves. I did some axle stalls, realized low trucks suck for carving, started popping micro airs up into the small qp on top. It was fun. Then we mostly skated the black ledge. Matt killed it with so many first try tricks. Fakie 5-0, fakie nosegrind, backside nosegrind, back nosegrind back 180 out, front tail, back tail, I don’t really remember, but he rattled off a ton. John got a fakie 50 to fakie, switch noseslide shove. I only tried noseslide 270 shove and switch noseslide tricks. John and I started hucking switch tail kickflip out. I mean why not? Then i was off to the Polar premiere.
