skate journal: long broomfield evening (nov 18, 2025)
Was thinking of slacking, but Will wanted to hit Broomfield so we did it. I got there first. I had yet another setup change. 8.25 with indy titaniums. Initial feelings were that I would like it. At the park was leather jacket guy from paco the other day going 100mph trying to boardslide up the diy rail to 50 the parking block. He repeatedly slammed super hard and the parking block messed with the blurb approach. Oh well. I had some okay kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip I think all first try. But shortly after Will showed I went 0-20 on f/s halfcab heel. He on the other hand did a bunch of switch flip, maybe even 5 in a row at one point. I struggled on 50s on the black ledge, had one good feeling sw noseslide 270 shove. Will had the nosegrinds both way all good. Justin showed and was ripping so hard. Phoenix was there ripping nollie nose manuals or nosegrinds. I had some hurricanes on the bank to curb. Near the end Will did sw manual and sw nose manual on the blurb. Amazing. I tried a line of front 50, front slash the quartapotty, kickflip the parking block. Committed to the kf, but never got it. Then I spent like 30+ minutes trying a halfcab heel. I was not close for soooo long, but I did get a bad one eventually. I will say I waxed all my bushing, the pivot cup, everything and nothing would stop the Indys from squeeking incredibly loud. I really don’t like Indys, they just don’t work for me and feel so noodly.
