skate journal: Broomfield with Brian and John (Sept 2, 2010)
*** OH NO ** I forgot to mention a trick that Brian did a few days prior at the last Broomfield session. Alley oop one foot back lip from low to high first try. Can’t believe I forgot that. Whew.I pulled in behind Brian being obnoxious and trying to swerve around his bike. He looked unphased. The park wasn’t super crowded and after a few nothing laps we ended up at the little qpipe to play a game of two trick SKATE. Flatground then qpipe. It became apparent real quick that neither of us had this kind of energy so we just skated. John showed up in awhile and added a real nice nose manual dive to flat into the mix. Brian was hyping me up on trying low to high tricks. I posed some front tails and got into a few rock fakies but never committed to landing them. Brian did a bunch of tricks of which I promised to blog, but I’m forgetting exactly which ones they are. Access to the internet all day at work has killed my memory. Anyways, I think he did low to high blunt fakie, low to high front rock, a few more and tried low to high front pivot, but couldn’t put it down. I was not having much luck ollieing as I would pretty much accidentely wallie into anything I tried. It was scary.Oh I should mention that it was cool out. Long sleeve weather even. Felt good. The park had kinda cleared out so we skated the little hump above the pocket in the flow bowl. John was killing the pivots to fakie on nothing. Brian managed to front lip and front 50 nothing. John also put down front tails, no comply sal flips or whatever you call them, alley oop fakie 50s on nothing, front biggee, kickflip fakie. I took way more tries then needed to do f/s flips and backed them up by doing nothing in the middle of the park. Brian would do tricks on the hump then kill the brick qp, then do some crazy wallride up the wallride bank. So sick. Near the end I was doing boardslides down the rail and messing around and some dude in the biggest shoes ever kept doing what I was trying and beaming me after. There was definitely a point when I felt like punching that dude. Oh well, he had a much cooler dress shirt then me so he must be tough. I managed a few no comply pole jams finally. Skating the top area was pretty fun even if we kept getting in the way of the double set. John front 50’d the hubba at the end and we both flailed some 3 flips. John landed most, I barely landed one. Then the lights shut off and the cops rolled up quickly making sure everyone leaves immediately. They wouldn’t want skaters hanging out after the park is closed you know. They do bad things.
