skate journal: broomfield 98 sunday (march 22, 2026)

Back to Broomfield, but it was like 40 degrees cooler. Met up with the 98 dudes and more. At the park was Dan, Garrett, Scott, Gordon, Taylor, Kyle, Ladd, Jason, so many people I’m sure I’m missing like 10 people. Dan was a demo machine, seriously rips, such good style, such good trick selection. Garrett was ripping too, some banger lines. Jason vs Ladd frontside flips over the bump to bar were cool. Don’t think ladd ever landed it though. Jason did so many cool tricks including kickflip back nosegrind shove. I myself felt pretty bad on the board, well, actually boards because I changed half way through. I was unable to halfcab flip on the mellow bank until I switched to the 8.5 with T2s. And it felt good except grinds. Gordon was ripping flippers and said this is the year we learn tricks. I tried a few switch tres, was not close. Not so close to nollie tre either. It was a fun session. I didn’t land much. Everyone else did though.

(setups 8.3 thunder teams and 8.5 with thunder t2s both kinda meh but the 8.5 less meh)
(pain level 3/10)
