skate journal: broomfield park with kevin and rob (june 4, 2019)

Posted in Skate Journal on June 5th, 2019 by corpo

On a super nice night I met up with Rob and Kevin at Broomfield park. I was feeling slightly better and would able to do some ollies, but the knee pain did kick in and kind of ruin everything again for me. Kevin tried to skate switch the whole time and had some good slams in the warm up process. Rob got it going pretty quick. Halfcab boardslides, crooks, front 50s. There were a few other friends there too. Justin, Kyler, Chase. The park was not busy, it was pretty great. I didn’t do much of anything, but did try several noseslide back 270s out. Didn’t get close, but did have a couple that felt possible. Kevin got a full pull. Switch nosegrind 180, nollie back neil on the brick qp, nollie nosegrind, nollie tre out of the bank. Dang! Rob had some good flippers going. Justin was locking into 6′ long front crooks on the happy ledge. Rob had to take off. Kevin and I played on the quartapotty. He learned switch feebles, I didn’t. Then he learned switch front pivot while I learned front axle to rock fakie. I tried to do more, but the knee pain became way too much. I must say I really did enjoy the hard and responsive Bones wheels again.
