Trying not to disappoint here as everyone was joking about this entry while we were there. Maybe because I actually landed a few tricks for once. Anyway, shortly before sunset Kevin, Rob, Sean, Paul, Jack and I gathered at Broomfield park for Kevin’s final session before moving. Jack just chilled since his foot is broke. There were quite a few younger skaters getting at it and the place had a lot of energy. So it was kind of tough to get going. I saw Rob trying a bunch of no comply front boards. The man of the hour Kevin forgot to put his contact in, but still managed to rip in his glasses. Switch front 5-0 first try, fakie 5-0 halfcab out, switch nosegrind 180 and kick back tail. Paul worked on fakie back tails. I saw Sean nollie the double set which I hadn’t seen before. He went through his bag on the ledges and ended with nosegrind back 180 on the happy ledge. I didn’t land a lot of flippers, but for once the ledge didn’t totally defeat me. I was really hyped to get noseslide 270 shove, halfcab noseslide, crooks took a while adjusting to the Ace pinch, fakie 50 and fakie 50 switch 180 flop out, and finally a front 50 or two and even the old accidental 5-0 that I followed with a kickflip out of the curb cut. Darin had shown and I tried nollie tre while he tried fakie tre, but neither of us got them. Oh well, fun night. Really gonna miss Kevin being around.
