skate journal: some broomfield action on a sunday with kevin, nick, cass and sean (march 3, 2024)
Decent day out, little cool. Met up with Sean, Cass, Kevin and Nick at Broomfield. They were all there before me. I didn’t feel so good on the board at any point, my body wasn’t having it. I would get a ‘full pull’ though as my one highlight. Crooks, switch nose 270 shove, shove out of the bank. They were all sketchy and slow, but it was a first try line because Kevin told me to show up Sean who hadn’t landed a crooks yet. I also got a little halfcab nose slide and finally ollied onto the black box. It was really slow and sketchy and felt okay the first couple of attempts, but that third attempt felt real bad and I stopped skating after that. Nick hasn’t skated in months, but still had poppy kickflips, good manuals and nose manuals. Cass had an amazing hardflip out of the bank, noseslides, back 50s, treflips, ripping. Kevin was getting his tricks back like nollie nosegrind, Gish. He would get treflip and switch tre. Sean was ripping. Lined out most of his tricks but the fakie back tail 270 shove and then kickflip nosegrind were the highlights for me. Then we had a nice lunch at Prost. Come back soon Kevin!
