skate journal: campus with rain and matt (june 30, 2015 day 176)
Posted in Skate Journal on July 1st, 2015 by corpoWent to meet Matt on campus and it started raining. Not so hard so I went under the engineering building hoping it would dry. I had only done a couple 180s and “slappy” noseslides before Matt showed. We kind of goofed around some more and hit the 3 stairs a little. Matt ollied down them and front 50’d up. I back 50’d down. I was thinking of a line of back 50 then front 180 the second set, but I never got there. If I would have I had told Matt he needed to ollie over the rail. Ha.
Then we ended up here for awhile. I didn’t know Matt shot this photo otherwise I would have done switch front crooks instead. Yeah right. We hucked a few impossible flip tricks like nollie f/s flip and switch flip. I think Matt got a switch flip. I did a slappy back 50 and tried slappy back 5-0 and failed. I did the weakest front tail ever. Matt took awhile to get slappy back 50, but when he did it was a rad line of nosebonk a rock, 360 flip on flat then the slappy 50. He may have even done a nollie flip after.
Then we went to the long ledge. It started out fun for me, but I didn’t land much and it kind of bummed me out. Matt got front and back tails. I got noseslide, crooks and some front 50s that were supposed to be front 50 shove out.
