skate journal: strugglefest at broomfield with a fun crew (jan 31, 2015 day 31)
Got called at 4am for work and didn’t get back to sleep until around 6. It made me tired. I went to Crisis to do bidness and hung out for awhile. I met Matt, Dan, Collin and Blake at Crisis. We went to Broomfield park and for the most part had the whole park to ourselves. I struggled the whole time. Every time I setup low trucks this happens. I love them for awhile, but my ollies turn to crap after awhile I begin to hate it. The only things I was happy with were doing another front feeble to fakie on the quartapotty, front 50 shove on the black ledge, back 50 on the black ledge. Matt cruised around casually doing solid tricks as he normally does. Front tail down the little rail, nollie back tail, nollie back tail fakie, back nosegrind back 180 out the black ledge. Struggled with back tail shove on the tall brown ledge and after he got it he focused his old soggy board. I’ve never really skated with Collin before. He rips and does a lot of no comply tricks, bean plants, etc. At one point him and I were doing no comply 270 to back tail on the blue ledge. It took me way too long. Collin did a no comply up the angled part of the brown ledge to manual down it. So sick. Blake is getting so good. Back nosegrinds over the sad ledge, some with tail grabs, nollie and halfcab down the six, and a lot more. Dan is so good. Nollie front 180 down the six, kickflip down the six, back nosegrind shove on the black ledge and a ton more. Dude rips. We played a game of SKATE at the end. I was the first one out. Blake tried a halfcab flip and managed to land on his board after it didn’t flip at all. It was pretty amazing. I think this marks the end of my Venture Lows era.
