Was at Broomfield by 7. Sean was there warming up. He had a few flippers going as I wandered around the crowded park aimlessly. So I decided a game of SKATE would get me going. I did alright considering my first kickflip was in the game. After a while we stalled on some harder tricks. I couldn’t do fakie bigflip and Sean was taking a bit to get fs halfcab heel. I managed a treflip then f\/s halfcab flip, eventually a fakie bigflip. Sean would come through in the end and get me with back heel, f\/s halfcab heel and a nollie back heel that took him a long time. Then we skated the black ledge. Sean was struggling a little with nosegrinds which was odd. I had some alright crooks and front 50s initially. Had a good feeling front 50 180 and then couldn’t get another front 50 to save my life. It made me mad. So I hucked a few switch flips and out of nowhere landed on one. I bailed stepped off, but still, it was a jolt of stoke. I got both feet on it and almost rode away! I would try several more throughout the night and a few more were really close, not quite as close though. Still, super exciting. I hit the blue pad with Darin for a while. He was trying fakie nosegrind switch shove, but didn’t get it. So I tried fakie 50 switch front shove and got pretty close. Sean joined us and did some really fast manuals. Then I was too tired to keep skating. Overall I didn’t skate that well, but landing on a switch flip felt awesome and encouraging. Oh yeah, Christian was there ripping. Good to see his fast powerful skating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
