skate journal: neil visit day 5: windsor and greeley 3rd st skateparks (july 16, 2025)
Joe, Cass and I rolled to Longmont to pick up Rob and Neil and we drove to Windsor skatepark. We got lucky again with mostly no scooter kids and some good cloud cover. It was a fun session, I managed to not get overly upset when I failed front 50s. Here’s some notes on everyone:
Joe: long boardslides to fakie, joe hamilton and hoe jamilton on the ledge, more frontside grinds, front shove the hip, crooks, a lot more
me: took a long time to get going. Crooks the tall ledge, noseslide to fakie the bank to ledge, wiffed front 50s for a while, got an accidental front 5-0 to shove out, at the end got a line that made me happy of kickflip up the euro then b/s flip the hip.
rob: back/front 50s, ollie the euro, front shove the hip, front 50 back 180 out
cass: front shove the hard way the hip, front shove up the euro, good crooks, manuals
neil: nose manuals, manuals, 50s, noseslides, ollie the euro, one foot ollied on the bank, ripping
Then we went to Greeley park. Most people sat this one out. I did some bank stuff, the axle stall was fun. One crooks on the ledge. Rob fired it off. nollie lip, back 50 shove, manuals, nose manuals I think. Neil was charging too. nollie lips, fast manuals, boardslides, ollie onto the ledge, one foots off, no complies on the bank
