skate journal: solo campus fun on a couple ledges (may 19, 2020)
After a busy day of work I went to campus not too long before sunset on a warm night. I only did two slappy crooks at the warm up curb then quickly headed off to baker ledge which was totally car and skater free. Perfect. I skated pretty good for me. Was landing tricks somewhat frequently. Almost had a line of manual, back 50, nollie tre. Also tried nose manual, noseslide to fakie, rick flip which was close too. I had a couple front 50s that worked and made me happy. Crooks, halfcab noseslide, switch noseslides. Got a few halfcab flips followed by front 50 then maybe a nose manual. I was very close to several nollie tres and rick flips. Then I went to the little yellow ledge and took too long to do a back 50. Hucked some varial heels that felt close. Also got into some nosegrinds, but the wind picked up fierce and I left.
