skate journal: decent broomfield but no treflip (april 18, 2026)

Posted in setup change, Skate Journal on April 20th, 2026 by corpo

Let the temp warm up a bit and the snow to melt. Met up with some dudes at Broomfield. Gordon, Cass, Will, Eric, Steezy. I had a setup change and when I put it down to roll across the park I really liked how it felt. 8.3 with venture v8s, 53s. I went on to have an above average session especially by my recent standards. I had a first try front 50 on the black box. I would go on to get several 50s. Had a line I really liked. Front 50 shove out the black box, halfcab flip on the bank, switch front nose the black ledge. Cass told me to keep going, but I was too happy. I would also get a very slow and sketchy front 50 on the ledge into the bank which I haven’t done in quite a while. Gordon had nollie front 5-0s, nollie back 50s and got back 5-0 front 180 out. Cass had an off day, saw some good crooks though. Will almost did nollie front 180 nose manual. Eric had some front tails and several heel flips at the end. Even some back heels. I couldn’t get a treflip to save my life. Doh.
