Skate journal : campus with John ( July 19, 2011 )
Posted in Skate Journal on July 20th, 2011 by corpoI met John at Meta on a cloudy night . Somehow the rain had avoided boulder . Oh yeah this is my first update from my phone where i talk and let my phone convert to text. Fun times . We started at the smooth parking lot with the little curved bank. I felt like actually had energy which was nice. We did a few basics before setting into a gnar line with a stall trick on a ledge that ollie down a four stair. John got his real quick . But I took a long time . When I finally got it I slammed on a tree branch after. Oh well it was still fun. We skated that gray bench for a little while but didn’t land anything . Next we ended up at the banked manual pad which ended up being fun . John almost got pop shove nose pick. I did a few tricks I’ve done before. We went by the double set board slide and I failed again. Then we went to the new area of campus and I rode off the loading dock surprised at how tall it was and can’t believe that people do tricks off taller drops. We did a couple of 50s on the Low metal bar before we saw some cops and moved on . Not much went down after that but we both did the long downhill manual pad much to our surprise . I think we both got it third try . Hyped . I broke my board on the way to the car on a board stall on a curb . This may have been intentional because my tail was cracked . Oh well we had a great session. Maybe it’s not the best idea to talk into my phone for these updates but it is pretty easy to do.
