Rob and I met up on campus and rolled around a bit to find a spot. We ended up at a narrow little bank next to a 3 stair right on the main road. Rob had some crails and a tight narrow nollie bigspin. I did shove fakie and took a bit to get kickflip to fakie. Then we ended up at Baker ledge which surprisingly had no cars and the jersey barrier was gone. Awesome! The ledge wasn’t in the best shape, but we still had a good time. Rob got manny right away, maybe nose manual too, tried halfcab manual and was close. He had front noseslides, halfcab noseslides, front board pop outs. I couldn’t get a manual to save my life, don’t even think I got a clean nose manual. I did get close to a line of nose manual 180 then fakie 50 the ledge. Other tricks were noseslides, switch noseslides, kickflip up the curb.

After some food, a nap, and the weather clearing up I went across the street to the school for a bit. Did some slappies on the side to warm up then went in trying a line that’s on my list for a bit. Kickflip into one of the curb cuts then 360 flip out of the next one. Got quite a few kickflips and committed to a few treflips, but ran out of time.
