skate journal: campus struggles on a nice night (march 27, 2025)
Worked from home, was lazy and didn’t do exercises all day. Attempted to go skate near sunset and had nothing. Even the roll into campus I could tell things weren’t good. Started behind the UMC and said I had to do at least one okay line to move on to another spot. Well, didn’t go well. After some brief curb stalls I started in a line trying to front 180 up onto this flagstone ledge. Took me FOREVER. And when I finally got there I was rolling off a 2 stair to setup for a 3 stair and died on a crack. One of the more painful slams I’ve taken in a while. I shook it off, changed up the line a little. Ollie onto a different ledge, ride off, front smith stall a curb, ollie the 3. My ollie down the 3 was soooo bad. I went to the nearby downhill hallway ledge spot. Struggled with a couple noseslides and called it a wrap.
