After a really bad day of work I needed to get out. With only a few more days of campus being empty I pushed down the bikepath to Wilville on a hot evening. I started near the little round curb and did a little line of front smith stall, kickflip, nollie 180, switch 180, noseslide the flagstone. Oh yeah, I had assembled a totally different complete. 8.1 with Thunder hollow 147s. And I really liked it. Especially after what felt like the easiest halfcab flip of my life. I ended up at the main manny pad area although I didn’t really do much into it, just a nose manual or two. I skated the ledge a bit even though it’s crusty managed a couple really slow front 50s, nollie tails, halfcab noseslide and worked up to a f/s halfcab noseslide that felt awesome. I guess I did to a line of nose manual into the bank, curve around ollie up front shove which was supposed to go to fakie but I reverted and my feet were barely on the board and I managed to still make it off the curb and it made me laugh. I went to leave, but got motivated to try a line at the ledge area. Fakie varial flip, switch noseslide 270 shove, ollie onto a taller ledge which I’ve only ollied onto a few times. I couldn’t get the fakie varial flip though or even fakie flip. Lots of cracks messing up my flow. But I think I did get something like halfcab flip, switch nose jib, ollie on and I was hyped. My knee was hurting so I left. But I was happy to have skated and goofed around trying lines at a street spot.
