skate journal: brief campus mission with ollie before it rained and we hit a garage (Sept 22, 2013)
After a long and frustrating day with the family I went out skating with Ollie around 4pm. He wanted to go to campus which stoked me out because that’s where I wanted to go as well. As soon as we got there we felt a few rain drops. But we pushed on, ollied a 3 stair, dropped in on the curved long hubba, rode down the 4 stairs and kinda settled in on a rock ollie. I was trying to line it out rolling off a drop, kickflip, ollie the rock. Never got the ollie because it started pouring. Ollie had gotten close to ollieing onto it and riding over it. What the heck CO why you rain so much?
Then we went to the parking garage above. We had tried to go to the one next to it, but it was closed off due to flood damaage and the lights weren’t working. Ollie was pretty bored with this one. He did manage to wallie over a parking block though and do a bunch of fakie shoves and 180’s off the little curb. He almost did a gap to front board too. It was funny. I tried a couple lines. First was kickflip over a parking block (which was hard for some reason), b/s flip (which I only landed once), fakie ollie up a curb, sw front 180 off, no comply 180 then f/s halfcab flip to front board. Believe it or not the one time I got the b/s flip I got insanely close to the whole line. I put the fshcffb down and slid it a little and everything. I gave up on that eventually and went with manual, 360 flip, kick back lip on the little curb, then ollie the cone. Never got the kick back lip obviously (although it was close). Only ollied the cone once or twice and on one of them I landed on the tail and cracked the crap out of my board. Oh well, that one was kinda dieing anyway. Ollie was bored so taking photos. He never got one with me over the cone, but this failed attempt is a way better photo anyway. I love how the cone is knocked down so clearly I wasn’t even close.
