On a warm Saturday I met Kyle and Brian at Broomfield. Taylor was there initially. Some other older dudes too, some youth. After a while Donnie, Dan, Garrett, Joe too. My warm up wasn’t good, I was really struggling. Kyle was doing flippers so easily. He rips. He did the manual revert fakie manual then filmed it for a long time. I had done some boardslide transfers, but never got the manual out. Had some okay crooks and basics for me, hurricanes on the bank to curb. Did a line of hurricane, crooks the black ledge, front 50 shove the blue lurb. Brian low qp to high rock to fakie, almost blunt on the high, one footed front rock, landed on impossibles. When we got wind that the 98 dudes were showing Kyle and I hucked. Kyle was doing cool lines front nose jib off the 3 stair, nollie heel, almost treflip noseslide. I hucked a lot of halfcab heel noseslides. They were somewhat close at time, it feels very possible. That would make me so happy. Dan front boarded the double set. Garrett kick back tailed and threw his board into the tree. Donne nollie sugarcane was sick. I tried to treflip the mini board and failed.

Went to Broomfield park after breakfast with the family. Will was there, not many others. Will did some manuals, nose manuals, switch manual, halfcab manual. All while failed to do a manual. I don’t remember much else for me, I didn’t land anything and we quit our game of SKATE since neither of us could land anything.

I proposed Safeway ledge as the dumpster was recently removed blocking the og ledge. Oh yeah, I was in a lot of back pain at Broomfield so I switched to 440s and liked them more. Weird. Will tried a couple front tail then bounced. I did a few back 50s that were really fun because it’s the only ledge I can back 50. The ground is pretty bad now, but the ledge it still okay.

Next I went to an old bank spot I haven’t been to in a few years. Maybe a decade I don’t know. It was fun though, I made myself do 10 tricks. Most were pretty easy, but it was still fun. Actually I think they were all easy, but the f/s flip took me a few tries. I tried to end it with a fakie treflip and got kinda close. Would like do get one of those!
