skate journal: John and Fuzz demo at Broomfield Park (April 4, 2012)
Met up with Carleigh, John, Fuzz at Crisis and Jason showed up! We shot the breeze for awhile then headed over to Broomfield park. Jason hung out and watched. So rad. At one point he even gave John some advice on back 50s which worked. Anyway, for me the session wasn’t so great. The chilly temperatures had my arthritis kicking and I could tell as soon as I put my board down that I would struggle to skate decent. Oh well. The things that did make me happy were first try kick back 5-0 (although I came to a halt), front feebs on the quartapotty, trying to boardslide the tiny rail (haven’t done something like that in months) and almost getting front 5-0 shove on the black box. Awhile into the session the arthritis in my ankles became too much and the hot pocket sensation had me on the bench. Carleigh was kinda cruising around on her own. I saw and early flatground kickflip, but she was swearing about how she couldn’t do them so maybe I was seeing things. Saw some nice boardslides on the black ledge, front 50 shove attempts and an awesome varial flip wilson. John and Fuzz were killing it. Fuzz had front nosegrinds, back tails, front tails, front lips, bluntslides, fakie 50 halfcab out, staple guns on the bank (so gnarly) and so much more. John skated maybe the best I’ve seen him skate. Bigspin front noses to fakie, no comply 270 back tails with slides, front tails to fakie, treflips, halfcab flips, and a banger front 50 down the 6 stair hubba. He killed it.
