skate journal: broomfield park for carleigh’s bday! (sept 2, 2015 day 237)
I thought I was feeling better, but when I arrived at Broomfield park I didn’t feel good at all. I played on the quartapotty for awhile, then filmed Riley, Jack and Nolan do some damage on the gnar hip. Then I watched Carleigh carve over the love seat for the first time in the bowl. So sick. Then I started just doing slow kickflips over and over as they didn’t hurt my strained groin. Then we played a game of skate. Darin, Scotty, Bernie and I. We had to go through all of Darin’s 180s before it got going, but it ended up being a good one. All four of us were at SKAT. I even landed a treflip first try horribly. Scotty won the game with a nollie late front foot flip. Perfect. We played another game with no repeats. Darin and I took out the young guns, but Darin took it in the end with tricks like fakie pressure flip and impossible. I had gotten letters on some tricks like pop shove revert, fakie shove, fakie bigspin that I should have landed. Then I filmed Carleigh, Jack and Riley rule the double set. So fun to watch and so stoked that Carleigh nailed the pop shove on her birthday. The last 10 minutes of light was spent trying the Fuller spin on the mellow bank with Garret and Bernie. Both of them got it pretty quick and thought it was fun. They also both did it with a judo kick. Bernie did it like 5 times with a judo kick and they all looked amazing. I think I finally landed one at this point. I was feeling pretty down about it. Bernie also did one with a crail grab. Fun night because of the occasion and crew, but I really hope my body starts feeling better, it’s getting me down.
