Monico is in town, Rad!  We planned on filming an entire video part in one hour on campus, but it didn’t work out.  Monico brought his little brother Matthew and we picked up Jack.  Off to campus where we skated under the engineering building for awhile.  Warming up was Monico letting us down on the flatbar, Matt beating me and Monico at SKATE and Jack setting up a new board.  Eventually I tried a few runs and failed.  I was sucking and felt really flat.  I tried to up the motivation, but I guess I was too tired.  The one thing I did that made me happy was pop shove into the first bank, kickflip into the second.  It’s not like you get going that fast down the first one, but I’ve never gotten the kickflip into the second before.  Guess all that high speed Busenitz action is paying off.  Joking.  Monico didn’t even have to put in any effort to front 3 into the first one, then 3flip into the second.  Matt was trying tricks down the three stair like he was a kid skating a 3 stair.  Ha.  So sick though.  It must be nice to have all that energy.  After Jack setup his board we proceeded to beat Matt in SKATE then do some thread the needle mannies against the wall.  Pretty rad.We eventually left the Engineering building and ended up at the two downhill manny pads.  I actually manualled the first one 2nd try.  Fun.  Jack probably mannied the whole thing before doing a super rad ollie into tranny on this little triangle thing at the top of the stairs.  It wasn’t really possible, but he did it.  After a rock walk competition down the 5 stair that I won Matt proceeded to act his age and back 180 off the tall ledge.  Last up we hit the the red ledge area and all did wallie back 50s before little Jack did something Monico and I are still confused by.  Wallie wallride ollie out over the crack.  Once again, not really possible, but Jack did it.  It’s the little things like that that stoke me out .  Fun night.  Pretty chill and I skated like crap and it was cold, but whatevs, fun crew good times.Of course a quick Rampy session was in order before the Candelaria’s left town.Kid’s will be kids.  Matt rock fakie pose out.Another pose.  At least Matt’s was a make.  Poser of the month.
