Skate journal : campus with John ( July 19, 2011 )

I met John at Meta on a cloudy night .  Somehow the rain had avoided boulder .  Oh yeah this is my first update from my phone where i  talk and let my phone convert to text. Fun times .  We started at the smooth parking lot with the little curved bank.  I felt like actually had energy which was nice.  We did a few basics before setting into a gnar line with a stall trick on a ledge that ollie down a four stair.  John got his real quick .  But I took a long time .  When I finally got it I slammed on a tree branch after.  Oh well it was still fun.  We skated that gray bench for a little while but didn’t land anything . Next we ended up at the banked manual pad which ended up being fun .  John almost got pop shove nose pick.  I did a few tricks I’ve done before.  We went by the double set board slide and I failed again.  Then we went to the new area of campus and I rode off the loading dock surprised at how tall it was and can’t believe that people do tricks off taller drops.  We did a couple of 50s on the Low metal bar before we saw some cops and moved on . Not much went down after that but we both did the long downhill manual pad much to our surprise .  I think we both got it third try .  Hyped .  I broke my board on the way to the car on a board stall on a curb .  This may have been intentional because my tail was cracked .  Oh well we had a great session.  Maybe it’s not the best idea to talk into my phone for these updates but it is pretty easy to do.
