skate journal: warm sunday fun at broomfield (dec 14, 2025)
Feeling kind of sick I met up with some dudes at Broomfield park on an incredibly nice and warm Sunday. The crew was Cass, Brian, Sean, Will and me. Taylor was there shredding too. Out of the gates Cass was killing the flip trick game even if he couldn’t do a first try treflip in honor of the SOTY announcement. He would do treflip, hardflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, backside flip. Made a note to not play him in SKATE. I had another setup change which I mostly liked – 8.3 and Thunder T2s. I didn’t really test it on the ledge though. Brian, Cass, Sean and I played treflip for a while up on the top with the incline. No idea why we didn’t move down below as no one else was there. Cass did a couple, got close to fakie tre. I got a very over-50 defensive make. Brian did a couple questionable ones before putting down a solid one. And it was funny because he was filming it, but went outside of the recording area when he did it so you couldn’t see it. Sean got one after, down below. Brian also got some front 50s on the blue lurb. I got a fakie 50, but no back 50s. Had some fun noseslides to fakie on the bank to ledge. Was close to some other flipers. Sean did Rick flip in like 3 tries as well as laid down some of his patented greatness on the ledges. In retrospect I didn’t really do much, but it was a fun crew, nice out and a good session.
