On a really nice night I met up with Garrett, Sean and Rob at Broomfield. Justin was there too. The park wasn’t too crowded when we got there, and even less crowded after a little bit. There was one other skater there, kind of a weird dude doing stationary flippers and beaming a little. I felt really good after a day off and some yoga, but it didn’t translate to good skating. We started on the blue bank manny pad where I hung up and slammed on the 4″ tall ollie. Argh. Rob had manuals and a no comply manual I think too. Sean did nose manny up, switch manny down. Then it was kind of everyone doing their own things. Rob was stacking tricks on the blue ledge. Front 50s, back 180 out, front 180 out, front nosegrind. And almost a line ending in halfcab flip, but the halfcab flip was being elusive. Garrett had some funny slams on quartapotty front blunts, some smooth nose manuals, back tails, treflips into the bank and kept not locking into switch crooks and getting switch noseslides instead. Sean did halfcab manny, front board transfer to manual on the brown ledge. A sick line of front nosegrind down the hubba then back 5-0 transfer the brown ledge to revert. I didn’t skate well, but had a few positives. First try fakie 50 the blue ledge, first try halfcab flip and fakie bigflip. Had a line roll on the steep hubba bank, crooks the black ledge, turn around front 50 shove out, shove the kicker then totally bailed the 6 stair. These shoes hurt my feet and I was in a lot of pain.
