skate journal: sunday struggles and fun in the heat null day (sept 11, 2022)
On a cool morning that warmed up very quickly I met up with Cass, Sean and Kevin at Broomfield park. I had nothing, tried very little and hated my setup. Got smoked in a game of SKATE with Cass. Sean and Kevin were ripping.
We checked out a couple spots, got a boot, filmed a bit then and impromptu session ensued on a little mini street hip which are basically my favorite things ever. I had done a backside flip pretty quickly so then setup the camera after and couldn’t do it again as well, but I still had a blast. Collin, JJ, Cass, Donnie, Garrett, we all skated it and had fun. I love sessions like this and would like to go back and huck some harder tricks.
Then we ended up at the downhill dragon ledge spot. I took a couple tries to roll into it, but that was fun and I thought a switch noseslide 270 shove would be easy. Nope. Never got into it and got so bummed. Collin ollied the bar and almost kickflipped it. Joe, Donnie, Garrett also skated the ledge. Donnie was skating it switch which was pretty amazing. I mean ha, I was too, but he was actually ollieing into switch 50s. Garrett came up short trying his trick which was a bummer. Then we were all so hungry and decided to get some food and good times were had.
