A cold front was moving in and it felt way colder then it’s been in awhile. The kids were having sleepovers at friends so Liz and I were gonna have a date night. That gave me a little over an hour to do some skating. So I stopped and hit campus. First spot I found was this. Carleigh and I had seen it a long time ago, it’s a little off campus. But somehow I remembered and after some pushing around I went at the ledges. Frontside there is a weird crack right before you ollie, but they are still really good. I was skating pretty bad, but I think it’s the first time the bushing had frozen up in awhile and I wasn’t used to it. I did a few front tails on the lowest one and was trying halfcab flip noseslide coming the other way. I actually got into one and was thinking today would be my day. Instead some lady that claims to have raised 10 million dollars for the building decided I shouldn’t be destroying the concrete. I think she was a little weirded out when I peacefully asked her what other purpose the ledges served. Ha. I left though. Ended up near the rec center area and took a bit to get a fun line of back 180 up a sidewalk, switch front 180 off, wallride a jersey barrier then pole jam this little midget pole jam that was on the edge of a sidewalk. Next I ended up at the parking lot below the 13 where I posed some ollies over one of the red barrier things. I almost got to the point where I could pull the trigger, but not quite. I went for some flat ground by the art building and since I was sucking I told myself I had to do 20 tricks before I left. It took a long time. There were a few 180s, no complys, etc in there, but lots of flippers too and I eventually got 20 tricks and bolted home. My flippers are not on point lately. I couldn’t even get remotely close to a treflip. Glad I skated though.
