On a really cold and windy night I went to campus to skate a newish large parking garage. I was pushing around and felt out one of those little wallride signs when a cop came at me kind of hard and eventually let me go.

So I went to Steel Yards. It was totally empty and a decent temperature. I was very sore and my warm ups were quite bad. Eventually I started doing 50s on the curb that looks like it shouldn’t grind, but somehow grinds pretty well. I couldn’t get slappy crooks on it though. I could get into it, but it just wouldn’t grind well enough to get up on top of it and sit in it. I had put some old Spitfire F4 99s on. Turns out they had a pretty huge flat spot (of course), but it didn’t much matter in a dusty rough parking garage. I had some fun back 180s off the curb. Started getting some flip tricks. I did a line that sounds alright on paper, but was really slow. Switch front 180 off the curb, front 50, backside flip (lost all speed in the landing), halfcab flip, then bailed a wallie nollie. Tried switch crooks for awhile and actually got a few of them. Not much of a grind, but it was the best I’ve done with them. Messed around some more, didn’t land many flippers, but also didn’t really try. I was sore. So then I filmed the few tricks above. The switch crooks took awhile this time. I ended by slowly ollieing my water bottle off the curb and since it hurt my legs I left.
