skate journal: broomfield park on a cold night with nullers (jan 8, 2019)

On a cold night I met up with Sean, Riley, Kevin and Garrett at Broomfield park.  They were all skating the blue ledge a weird way.  But I started messing around with Dave’s challenge.  A switch front shove going backside on a bank.  Everyone joined me and it was hilarious.  Riley and Kevin said they were the last ones to get it, but it’s funny going back to the clip and seeing that they were actually the first, but just didn’t know it.  They normally over shoved.  I normally body varialed too much.  Sean was straight up body varialing.  Kevin went with that too.  Everyone eventually got it, or something similar.  Riley added a heelflip.  I also did the pop shove body varial that Dave is famous for.  I think Kevin did a switch front shove body varial.  Then they played on the black ledge, but I wasn’t really feeling that so I kinda did whatever for a bit then settled on the blue ledge where everyone joined.  Kevin took a horrendous slam trying to do switch back 50.  It would have been bad at any temperature, but the fact that it had dipped into the 20s made it worse.  Everyone left at that point and I skated for another 20 minutes before the lights shut off.  I had some energy although I didn’t get a whole lot of tricks.  K got into kick back 50, fakie nosegrind.  Had a good feeling fakie flip, b/s flip.  I was set on trying a transition trick for Dave.  I wanted to do front disaster to sugarcane.  It took awhile and I literally said it was my last try when I got it.  And man it felt cool.
