skate journal: broomfield park feeling better then some real fun with nullers (feb 13, 2016 day 44)
Woke up early on a Saturday feeling much better then the last few days. So I drove through some dense fog to Broomfield park where I had the park all to myself for a couple of hours. It was really cold initially, but the sun would eventually come out and warm things up. I started on the quartapotty and blue box area, but was getting on the blue and black ledges somewhat quickly. I never stuck with any one thing too long. I struggled with back 50s once again, but would eventually get them on the blue box. Front 50 shove, front 5-0, crooks on the black ledge. Front tail on the blue ledge, tried fakie front 50 switch 180 out, but never got out of it right. Boardslid the little rail, had a couple 360 flips, manual the blow box, couldn’t nose manual it. I cruised around a lit trying different things. I couldn’t get nosegrind on the blue ledge either, but I did get pretty close. That park is so fun cruising around solo. Eventually a couple kids showed up and would complain about being tired/sore and sit down frequently. Wusses. Ha.
Later on I met up with a fun crew of Nullers and more. Riley, Bernie, Nolan, Ladd and Carleigh. I was super tired in filmer mode and didn’t really skate the first spot. Nolan got close to doing a cool pole jam rock fakie. Then we went to this kicker spot. Riley rattled off like 20 tricks as did Ladd. Nolan had a nice 360 flip and switch 360. Carleigh had shove quick, kickflip and front 180. I did a couple early grabs which were fun so I started hucking and went with f/s halfcab flip. 2 hours later I landed it! (pretty poorly, but it kind of adds to it)
