skate journal: broomfield before and during the snow (dec 2, 2025)
What started as a decent night got windier and cold and eventually even started snowing. I got there first and had quite some time with just a couple beginner skaters. I did not skate well and kind of hoped the snow would come in so I could leave. I did get some front 50s and a back 50 I think on the blue lurb. Tried front 50 to fakie then fakie smith on the quartapotty which I hadn’t done in forever. But then I struggled doing any basics so I started hucking. I tried treflip noseslides out of the bump, kickflip noseslide on the black ledge, fakie hardflips on the mellow bank and kick back tails on the low side of the brown ledge. I didn’t land any. Fakie hard was the only one I was remotely close to. Will showed, quickly rattled off basics like he does so well. Justin and Jameson showed too. The Justin demo was real. Near the end I did the that fakie smith fakie line. My body had seriously seized up and I felt very arthritic. Then it started snowing like crazy all quick. Will did the 50 and we bounced.
