skate journal: Best Broomfield session yet (Aug 17, 2010)

Picked up Jake at Meta and headed to Broomfield park.  We skated the flow bowl area for while.  Jake skated it well and got a mean front 5-0 on the corner pocket extension thing.  I finally got a few grinds that I didn’t bail and got a little back 50 on the pool coping.  After awhile I moved on to the street area and mostly tried lines with the blue box and little qp.  Jason and Carleigh showed up which made it even more fun.  At one point I got a run with nose manual the blue box, front feeble on the qpipe and then back 50 the blue box.  I also came close to kick back tail on the blue ledge, got a first try front smith on the qp, front 50’d down the ledge near the qp, I don’t know it was all fun.  Carleigh was trying to pop shove the double set so I went up and failed miserably at just ollieing the six stair.  Then Carleigh put down a textbook pop shove down the dub set.  So sick!  I failed at getting her back with a measly ollie down the six though.  At least I can take comfort in knowing I committed everytime instead bailing like I normally do.  I gave up for awhile and did some more nose manuals and a couple 3 flips on flat before going back and landing the six stair.  Sweet.  Jason was skating pretty well too.  Lots of qp tricks and back 50s.  At the end Jake came up with the idea to try and ollie onto the rust box and go into back tail on the tall side.  We all got it and it was fun.
