skate journal: little after work school session before the snow started (april 17, 2025)

Posted in Skate Journal on April 19th, 2025 by corpo

Wasn’t feeling overly motivated, but tried to get out and skate some before the weather would turn to snow. Went to the side of the school. Did some slappies. Struggled with flip tricks. Like really struggled. The amount of effort I had to put into a halfcab flip was maddening. Almost got a treflip, but I didn’t.

skate journal: broomfield after work with kevin, will and sean (april 16, 2025)

Left from the office with rain threatening and took the parking lot known as 287 to Broomfield. The park was popping. My legs were toast. I quickly joined a game of treflip with Kevin and Sean. I beat Sean, but Kevin did all 4 treflip variations before I had landed mine. Pretty amazing. Also marks one of the rare times I did a treflip priot to a kickflip. Mainly because I had gone 0-3 on kickflips before that. Sean and Kevin killed the black ledge. Kevin doing his first fakie back tail since hurting his knee. Sean nollie back nosegrind was so casual. Will did some grinds into the bank. I had some good crooks, noseslides to fakie the bank to ledge, couldn’t halfcab noseslide though and had very little pop into front 50s. Those dudes were chilling and I just wanted to do another slappy crook on the parking block, but I lined it out with a kickflip flyout. Then it turned into treflip flyout madness in which I never quite got one. The fall was funny enough though.
