Met up with Sean, Darin and Chase at Broomfield park in the early afternoon on a completely perfect day. I was tired from a late night seeing Pissed Jeans. Sean and I were there first. The warm up period felt okay. I started trying real tricks and nothing good really happened. I struggled with pop, things were super waxed, flip tricks didn’t go well. At one point Darin did a treflip, Chase did a treflip and then I did perhaps the worst excuse of a treflip ever. Sean had a good line above. I randomly hucked some f/s halfcab heel noseslides that felt doable, treflip noseslides felt doable but were not remotely close. I left and went to Birch where the big crack prevented me from trying wallie nollie up onto the blue wedges. But they were fun to 50 and I had a fun line of noseslide, kickflip, 50 before I left.

After doing my 51 exercises for my age and some chilling the snow had mostly melted. I went to Douglass which was mostly melted save for some water on the main ledge. After some initial warming up I waxed up some other sections and went in on some lines and struggles. The main ledge being unskateable really changed how to skate the spot and threw me off. About the only good thing I did was some noseslides to fakie. I almost destroyed my ankle on some crooks that I didn’t make it up onto. I could barely kickflip up the curb and halfcab flips were the only flip trick that worked. Did a couple axle stalls, but couldn’t front 50 a ledge. It was a very depressing session.
