skate journal: sour campus in the cold (feb 17, 2019)
On a cold day Kevin came over and setup a new board. We watched the first 3 part of the Sour Solution 2 and it brought the hype. We started out at the meetup curb. We did kickflips to fakie on the tiny median kicker. Kevin added switch flip. I added slappy crooks.
We rolled down the hill to the weird dorky double hump manhole cover. Kevin was going for front blunt. I was trying some weird beanplant/boneless thing. Kevin was doing halfcab or kickflip off the oversized curb to line it out, I was trying switch 180s. Garrett showed up after this and we had kind of moved up to the ledge. He did a pretty sick line with a noseslide, treflip, 180 off the curb, switch pivot. He also did a first try nollie front noseslide. Kevin started with switch noseslides, did some good 5-0s, took awhile to get nollie front nose. I did a couple lame switch noseslide jibs in between bailing front 50s over and over. It was quite depressing. Then we moved east some more and ended up at these barriers for awhile. Kevin’s line of all of them in a row was so impressive. I only got a few into it. My wallrides were terrible. I did manage the backside then frontside rides which was fun. The grass ride was fun too. Garrett’s slam was so bad. It was snowing pretty hard at times. Then it took forever for Garrett to get the front shove wallride after he had done it 2nd try earlier. Fun times even though it was so cold.
