skate journal: quick campus mission with carleigh (11/8/2010)
After feeling sick enough at work that I almost went home early, dinner, a nap and some Leave It To Beaver I met up with Carleigh for a quick skate session. We started out at the 3 stair spot where we almost lasted the whole time. Other than some ollies on the rounded curb I tried to manual off the 3 stair forever. I don’t think I’ve ever manualled to a drop down stairs. Yes I know it’s only a 3, but it was weird for me. I kept putting my wheels down right before. Carleigh was trying to ollie up the curb then kickflip the 3. The truck parked right next to the 3 stair with the lights on and the couple making out was a little weird. After Carleigh said ‘last try’ about 10 times I finally landed it. We left, went by the 5 stair where Carleigh ollied it a few times, and I bailed. Argh. I committed to it twice, but the brick to concrete runway messed me up. That’s my excuse at least.275/300 days down. 25 more to go. 53 days left in the year. It’s possible.
