John and I headed to campus for some street skating.  We started dorking out on the tiny new little quarter pipe curb thing.  John was killing the smith grinds both ways and did a line with both and a 3 flip, nollie flip and maybe even a front shove.  Rad.  I wasn’t really warmed up and was struggling.  I managed to wallie the little curb to sidewalk gap and do a few grinds too.  Next we headed to the gray bench where I continued to not land a boardslide and chicken out on crooks.  John got a nice noseslide shove and I got a noseslide fakie.  For some reason the bench was really sticky.  Then we went to the student center area and did little lines where we would ride off the big drop thing.  Basically a six stair drop.  John did front shove, ollie, drop, ollie the 3 stair.  Rad.  I started with kickflip and halfcab flip but never managed enough speed to ollie the 3 stair as well.  Lastly we dorked on some tiny manny pads that I couldn’t skate and then a wallride spot where I continued to ride, but not land frontside wallrides.  After awhile I started trying fakie wallrides and got a decent one.  Rad.  John did a good no comply f/s wallride and then we played a game of SKATE that John won right asthe rain started to come down.  I wasnt bummed though, it was a fun game.  I got letters on a couple really easy ones though. front shove and halfcab flip.  Getting a 3 flip first try helped me forget those though.  Fun night.  Gotta street skate with John more.ps – I’m in Seattle now.
