After a late night of grunge destruction (Mudhoney ruled it!) I was a bit tired, but wanting to skate before the snow settled in. We didn’t feel like driving 20-30 minutes to a skatepark so we went to campus. The parking block above was the first thing we skated. I was feeling insanely stiff and awkward. Ollie could boardslide the parking block, but my grown up body would bend the block enough that boardslides would stop in the grass making my wheels yellow “Well then stop riding through grass!” I managed a front 5-0 fall off over it. We cruised around some more. Neither of us overly hyped on much it seemed. We ended up at the super mellow bank to tiny curb. I tried to do a front 270 to switch crook stall, but never got it. I did have one awesome slam onto my hip though after I overshot the curb. Ouch. I started hucking a couple flip tricks and kickflips were feeling decent. I got a varial flip and a b/s flip. At the end managed a back pivot to fakie with a fakie bigflip after. Everything was landed horribly, but I felt like I got a little something back. My ankle and knee was feeling weird, but not painful. Ollie did a front 50 on the curb. Pretty rad. After that I ollied a little gap off a ledge which felt pretty awesome. We hit this weird long two stair area. I managed to ollie onto one from downhill manual it then drop to the next one and ride away. Seems dumb and it is, but it felt great. Ollie did a few early grab cannon balls off the curb. Next was the stone bank/manny pad thing. Ollie wasn’t feeling it. I got a front rock on it and we moved on then kinda just kept moving on back to the car as it started snowing. Mellow, but fun. Hyped to try a few flip tricks. Hyped on the smaller board.
