skate journal: campus ledges with Nate (April 10)
Met Nate on a nice Friday aftern0on and we decided to hit campus. We parked over by Silvermine subs since we don’t normally skate that part of campus. We ended up hitting the curved ledge thing that is insanely hard to skate. No setup, downhill runway, uphill ledge. We ended up getting noseslides and crooks and Nate added back 50s to the mix. Then we went under the tunnel and were surprised to find a whole section of new ledges just waiting to be waxed and skated which we did. Not the best ledges, but we couldn’t believe they weren’t skated yet. I was full on sucking and that’s how my whole session went. I can’t ever seem to skate right after work and downhill runways bug the hell out of me. We got three different sections to grind really good and I put together a horrible looking slow run. Front 50, back board, front 50 front 180. Yippee. We played a pretty bad game of SKATE where I lost on a switch front shove then decided to kickflip into the bikepath hill. I ended up slamming multiple times on the kickflip then focused my board. Such a horrible way to end an ok session. At least my board was dead.
