NEW DINOSAUR JR SONG HERE! I did my ritual of listening to the song loudly once and only once. 81 days of waiting now until the album ..

Another hot day with a thunderstorm then a cool down. I met up with Dean at the slappy curb after work, a nap and some basketball with Ollie. We moved into campus right away and ended up at the good flatground area where I had my good line the other night. That wouldn’t happen again. Dean was ripping though. Halfcab a grate, kickflip, front 180. I think there was a fourth trick too. He landed more kickflips in this session then I’ve seen him land since I’ve known him. I landed a few tricks, but not a whole lot. We moved on. It was kind of sprinkling. I ollied this little thing again. Harder then it looks as the ledge is curved on top and you have to clear a crack. It took awhile. Next up was this spot. We hit this for a bit. Dean did a few tricks down the stair then proceeded to nearly noseslide the kink part of the rail. I was hyped on it! I tried too, but Dean got closest.

I tried to front 50 the ledge off the 5 stair. Took forever. I got really close, had some good slams, battled the rain then ultimately ran out of juice as I was getting too nervous. Got a good hipper from it. Dean was just chilling and shot some photos because he’s good like that. Here are the funny ones.

Mentally preparing for such a hammer.

Yeap, did this a few times seeing as how the ledge is so tall.

Next level shit.

Totally got a good hipper from that one.

I am such a pansy.

This is what happens when you try to commit to a 2mph front 50 with a drop.

This one makes me laugh. My board had rolled down the stairs as I stepped gingerly on the ledge so I jumped on it. Thanks for the photos Dean!

Fuzz arrived and we started trying manuals on the sidewalk. Between the three of us doing laps non stop for 30 minutes only Fuzz was able to manual it twice. Yikes, we’re old. Dean had a couple good slams. I landed a treflip like I was a skier. Fuzz did drop down manual up to manual. We had fun. Then we went to Black Dots.

After selling some hats at Meta I went down the hill to the slappy curb. I was pretty tired and not as fired up as the last session. I started dorking on the slappy banked curb and started feeling good. Had some troubles with slappy crooks, but landed every slappy front feebs. I started hucking a few tricks to see what would happen. Got remotely close to front blunt, but then they slid I would shoot out. Kind of did switch slappy crooks. Tried a bunch of switch front slappys and they kept going into front feeb so I went with it. Not even that many tries and I got it. Pretty hyped. I came out switch and all that. I felt like Karl Watson. But I still looked like me. I moved on. After some dorking around I ended up in front of the student center. I tried a few things on this. At first I just wanted to ollie on then ollie the rail. But I’m not that good and the bushed had kind of overtaken it. So then I tried to manual the first part, drop down, drop down thread the needle through the rails. Nope. Last time I couldn’t even ollie up the ledge consistently so I’m happy I was at least doing that. Lastly I ended up at the hill ledges which had been freshly sand blasted. The taller curved one still grinded though. Well, at least it did the one in ten times I could get on it. I left after a couple weak front 50s and one real weak front 5-0. That ledge is hard.
