Thought I had more energy. Went to campus with a bigger setup. Started up near the tunnel to the hill. Tried a line for a while of a flip trick, a stall on the mini bank to curb, noseslide the sandblasted flagstone bench, kickflip a metal grate out of the kicker, ollie up the 3 stair. The line had started after trying most of the tricks during warm up. Flip tricks went alright I got halfcab flip and heelflip but then I started to really struggle with noseslides which I blame on me changing my setup like a moron. Anyway I never quite got the kickflip before a few people came out of the building and sat at a table. And I didn’t feel like stumbling around like a dork in front of them so I moved on. Had a fun downhill roll and ended up at the fitness center. Went into line mode there too. Flip trick, noseslide, front axle stall a bench, 180 a rock. But I got super tired or something and was totally sucking, missing noseslides even. I left feeling ultra depressed, but realized I was exhausted so whatever. Gonna miss these quiet summer nights on campus.
