Woke up wanting to skate. It was nice out too. Watched a couple videos, texted people and listened to the new Dinosaur Jr. It started looking like rain and plans hadn’t formed so I went and skated flat in front of the house for awhile. I was just getting kind of warmed up before the rain settled in. Doh. Chilled for a few hours then it cleared up. Headed to campus and it was still pretty wet so I skated under the engineering building. The fun double downhill bank spot was blocked off because of construction. Doh. I found a bench that was decent and started trying to skate it. Things started out real slow, but at one point I felt like I was skating great. One way I was doing kickflips over a little crack gap then trying boardslides to fakie. I’ve never been able to do that trick on ledges and once again it stumped me. Coming the other way I would try front noseslide then b/s flip over the crack gap. Never did a good f/s noseslide and never got the b/s flip. Neil called and was gonna come meet up. I moved to the top of the engineering building as it had dried up and hit the double downhill manny pad section. I mostly dorked around, rock walked down the stairs, posed some ollies down the 5 stair, bailed flip tricks and didn’t get the manual. Neil showed up. Rad. We would do a trick then hit the manny pad. Neil ended up getting ollie over a cone on it’s side, manual then nose manual. He did it a couple times. So good. I took awhile to get the manual, but did get it. Then got a line with kickflip the little part of the cone on it’s side, front 180 onto the first pad, sw front 180 off, kickflip up the next one, kickflip off. Pretty hyped on that. Then we moved slightly west were Neil ollied a little gap first try and I would take several tries. I lined it out with a manual. Yippee. Then we kind of headed up campus looking at new stuff until Neil had to leave and I just did soft rock kickflip out on the drama building escalator loading dock. I did quite a few of them. Cool. I was super sore for some reason. It kinda sucked, but I skated hard and had fun. The downhill ride to my car at the end was really fun with lots of little ollies.

He’s got a mean back 180 and it looks like a private amazing ramp??? Those varial flips look a lot like mine. Ha.

Had a friday off work and couldn’t deal without work so decided to work all day as Filmer Glen. Ha. We started at this spot above. Crew was media heads Blain, Cameron, Dean and me. Nullers were Chad, Derek, Connor and Josh. Nullers crushed it immediately. Connor did gap to lip all quick. Josh did quite a few things. Derek almost did back lip on the inside. I messed around for awhile before filming and did an ollie onto the tall one (which was really hard for me) and then a front 180 off the little one. Then it was film mode. Josh slammed really hard. Connor got close to a good trick, but then we got kicked out by a furious building owner. Dude sucked.

Then after some driving we ended up at this building being tore down. That’s me in the hole. I filmed the whole time. Nullers went off and landed tons of tricks. I have like 250+ clips to go through. Yikes.

The night cap was some fun with this hill. I probably hit it 15 times. It wasn’t very steep but it was fast enough that by the end I would have to run out. Not derek though, that dude would just hang a right into traffic. Him and Daryl did some sick ollies over a curb cut kicker at full speed. Daryl added switch 180 and Derek did back 180. Everyone else was cruising downhill too. I had fun doing some with powerslides, some with manuals, etc. Got a really long manual for me then pointed the hill to run out before traffic. So fun. Great way to end the day.
