Went to campus solo before a filming mission. Started near the hill area with the flagstone bench and slight bank to curb. Ended up skating like I don’t believe I have before which was fun. Do a stall trick on the bank to curb above the death stairs then a ledge trick then something. I think the first was a front pivot then a boardslide then back 180. Then front tail, noseslide, kickflip. I don’t really remember the sequence, but I was having fun and skating with some motivation. I got a couple crooks and went down into the drama building loading dock and turned around and tried to ollie up the 3 stair, but wasn’t close at all. I tried to film a couple crooks and could no longer do them which was the start of my frustrations. So I cruised down the hill aimlessly for a while and eventually ended up at a really hard 1 up 2 up 4 down which was not what I needed. I went to an old amazing spot that is knobbed, slammed on a manual and walked home with my tail between my legs ultra bummed.

After filming Garrett and Joe do some amazing stuff we ended up at Indian Peaks where we haven’t been in a long time. I somehow didn’t feel super terrible so I did a couple kickflips to make my day feel somewhat better. Garrett did some good wallies, but wasn’t feeling the trick he really wanted to try.
