Went to Meta after some basketball with Ollie to sell some Null stuff. Talked with Sam and Carleigh forever before Sam finally kicked us out and we rolled on campus for a bit. Since I broke my last board I had a new Game Over deck and some Spitfire Busenitz wheels. I’m testing those too because I supposedly might be able to get something similar to the F1 Spitfire urethane. Who knows. Cruising down the hill into campus felt way faster than normal. Probably mostly the new wheels, but also not having flat spotted wheels for the first time in a really long time. We got down the the flat gap area and I tried a cali grind and ate shit pretty hard. I guess I was going faster than I thought. Ha. We moved on to the super mellow bank to mini curb where we ended up having a good time. Carleigh learned front pivots, front tail and back axle to fakie. Rad! I got a few tricks I reserve for spots like this. Front pivot fakie, back and front nosepicks fakie, back tail and a trick I’ve never done before – front pivot, front 270 out. Cool. At one point we got approached by the ol’ “My skateboard is broken can I try yours?” kinda dude. Normally I don’t even allow it to happen ever, but for some reason I let him. Wow, he looked awkward on a skateboard. He couldn’t even stand on my board without wobbling all over the place. It was funny. On the way back we hit a little gap off a narrow ledge and it took us each a couple tries, but it was fun. Warmer weather ist awesome.
