On a nice day off work I met Jake at Broomfield park. It was way more wet and snowy than we thought. But we went to work scraping and sweeping it away. The sun made quick work of the thinned out puddles as we played SKATE in a dry spot near the brick qp. We started with ollies, 180s, shoves (I got letters on switch back 180 and switch shove) then Jake initiated the flippers with kickflip. I think he may have missed fakie flip, maybe even on a double or nothing. He beat me to halfcab flip, but I got miracle first try one that felt good. He had me at SKAT with frontside flip and something else. I got him with fakie bigflip and heelflip and we were tied up going into the treflip game. Jake was so close, me too. I managed to get one in like 4 tries that had a pretty great skier stance landing. Jake didn’t get it unfortunately. Then we skated the sad ledge as it was the only thing truly dry. There was another dude that joined us and some younger skaters manualling the black box through puddles. I struggled with front 50s and chickened out of back 50s, but other than that did alright. Jake had front 50, back 50, noseslide, noseslide shove, crooks, crooks fakie, crooks shove, halfcab nose, front tail. The other dude worked up to back tail and kick back 50 which were really good. I had noseslide, noseslide to fakie, switch noseslides, halfcab nose jib, front 50, crooks and eventually a crooks shove with another skier stance landing. Jake had left. Things had dried up and I went for my initial Broomfield goal which was 20 tricks on the blue ledge. I would get 20, but they got pretty bad as the soreness kicked in fierce. There weren’t really any highlights. Maybe front 50 to front board. I struggled with fakie 50s. Got back 50 and randomly back 50 pivot 180 out. Darin had showed. My last trick was nollie back tail jib. He was quickly ripping the blue ledge. Crooks fakie, back tail fakie, 5-0s.
