skate journal: broomfield again after work with garrett (sept 9, 2025)

After dinner on a very nice evening I went to Broomfield and met Garrett. A few others were at the park, but it would clear out and only a couple others. I got there first, warmed up on the on the bank to curb, some quarterpotty, no pop tricks on the lurb. Garrett showed and I tried to back 50 the lurb before he started skating, but I lost. I did get one though and it did feel good. Garrett went straight to ripping. Halfcab nose manual revert, kf manual, kickflip nose manual. Garrett also killed the black ledge. Halfcab crook 180, sw crooks, kickflip 50, pop shove 50, so much. I struggled initially, but would end up getting several front 50s, even several in a row, a shove out, and one followed by a noseslide on the bump to bar. I was happy about that. Justin showed and went demo mode. I managed a very slow front 50 on the ledge into the bank. Garrett had so many good back tails and then a b/s flip out of the happy ledge that was so good. At the end I made myself do 5 flip tricks. I came somewhat close to some harder ones, but ended with the basics: kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, b/s flip, fakie bigflip. Fun night.
