skate journal: broomfield evening meh with cass (july 9, 2025)
After work and a couple naps I went to Broomfield on a hot night. There was only two other people skating and I was there for a good 20 minutes before Cass showed. My warm ups went well. Basically everything until ollies or flipping the board. But it was fun, I felt sore, but good. I would get some front 50s, maybe a back 50 on the blue lurb, some boardslides on the bump to bar, hurricane the bank to curb, noseslides to fakie on the bank to ledge. It was fun. But the front 50s were pretty hard on the black box and it ate at me. Not as much as how hard flip tricks felt though. They felt impossible. Cass was skating decent. Some front noses, front nose shove, 5-0s, front shoves out of the bump. We played a game of SKATE and I SUCKED. I took 5 tries to get a kickflip and the only other flip trick I landed was halfcab flip. Cass won it. I went home depressed. I had wanted to change my setup before this session, but I didn’t because I’m sick of madness. But I hated my board beyond belief.
