skate journal: lazy hot day with kevin at broomfield (july 11, 2020)
Approaching the hottest point of the day I met Kevin at a nearly empty Broomfield park. We had some fun warm ups doing different stalls and stuff on the brown angled ledge. We did more than what’s shown in the video, but I don’t remember exactly what. I just know it was quite fun. We had done them frontside too, got a few more than what was documented. After that we played a game of SKATE that went on forever. Kevin slammed or missed like 20 nollie tres. Clearly something in the world was wrong. He would get a regular treflip though, and I of course got a letter on it. I had a couple tricks like f/s halfcab flip and fakie varial flip that I was happy about. I couldn’t get a nollie tre either or a fakie bigflip though. We played on the black ledge after this. Kevin was able to do nollie front nosegrind first try. I did a switch boardslide on it, that was new for me there. Nothing to really be excited about though. I came somewhat close to noseslide 270 shove, did several crooks, an accidental 5-0. It was so hot I lost motivation when Kevin left.
