Had some time in the morning on Mother’s Day so I went to Broomfield. It was quite sunny and warm. Amanda was there with a crew, but they left quickly. I had the park mostly to myself except one dude that showed up and only hit the blue pad. Warming up was less than average. Did a few front 50s on the blue lurb to get going and got a back 50 after one. Got a line I was hyped on. Crooks the black ledge, noseslide to fakie the bank to ledge, fakie bigflip on flat, fakie 50 the blue lurb. Had some halfcab noseslides, struggled with front 50s, came remotely close to noseslide 270 shove, got a terrible treflip flyout, one really slow front 50 on the ledge into the bank. Pretty mid session.

After a day full of driving (and seeing a moose at RMNP!) I needed to get out skating. I was exhausted and had no desire to drive. Luckily students are gone so I cruised the bike ride down to Willville. And it was fun. I posted up at the main area mostly. Tried to flip the board a bunch, but didn’t land much. Tried switch 180 manual into the bank, but never held it. Got a line of manual into the bank, then come back and ollie onto the bank then front shove accidental revert. Managed a terrible treflip. Tried to manual the bottom of the pad which was scary, never quite got it. Ollied onto the skate stopped lower level several times, never very well though. Had some noseslides on the upper ledge. When I left I dropped in on the bank down the six stair and it was terrifying for some reason. I survived though.

Had some free time during the festivities so I escaped to dog park. I was tired and hadn’t gotten to do my normal exercises. Much to my surprise and enjoyment both Aki and Dan were there. I hadn’t seen Aki actually skate in a long time so that was cool. He still rips, got some front/back 50s, front tailslide, super dipped nose manuals, manuals. I was kind of rusty and lacked pop. Dan can’t slappy crook and it’s funny. But he can crook the tallest rails/ledges in the park. I had a quick nose manual that felt good, but couldn’t get shove out. Dan was close to a few nose manual variations. Oh he did get no comply out of one that was super sick. I almost got a first try b/s flip over a parking block, but instead it turned into a mini battle. Dan joined but going switch. I would eventually land something vaguely resembling a b/s flip. Dan got my back with a good switch one. Then I had to bounce. Fun session.
