skate journal: Campus with Jake then rainbow ledge with Jason (Nov 25)

Jake picked me up and we decided on Campus.  We parked at the bottom of 13th St and bombed it all the way into campus.  So fun.  I haven’t bombed a hill in awhile and it felt great.  It wasn’t a big one by any means, but fast enough to be a bit scary.  We started off at the slappy curbs and I was skating good for myself.  Really good.  It was weird.  I haven’t felt that good in awhile.  Tricks were coming first try and I even attempted a never been tried trick before and got it first try – slappy front 50 push a couple times while grinding then land it.  WTF?  So fun.  Next up we hit a wallride spot and we both got backside wallrides.  I got closer then ever to frontside wallrides, but couldn’t put it down.  Doh.  By now I was getting tired and not feeling as great, still having a blast though.  We went to the rocky banked manual pad spot and after some funness Jake broke his board so we rolled out.  I did get a front tail back 180 thing though.  Then Jason picked me up at Meta and we hit Rainbow ledge for a couple minutes before it got dark.  I didn’t want to skate there at all initially, but after a boardslide popout when down quickly I tried some more stuff.  Didn’t really get anything, but it was fun.  If only I never had to work.
