skate journal: some campus mellowness/fun (June 27, 2012)

After selling some hats at Meta I went down the hill to the slappy curb. I was pretty tired and not as fired up as the last session. I started dorking on the slappy banked curb and started feeling good. Had some troubles with slappy crooks, but landed every slappy front feebs. I started hucking a few tricks to see what would happen. Got remotely close to front blunt, but then they slid I would shoot out. Kind of did switch slappy crooks. Tried a bunch of switch front slappys and they kept going into front feeb so I went with it. Not even that many tries and I got it. Pretty hyped. I came out switch and all that. I felt like Karl Watson. But I still looked like me. I moved on. After some dorking around I ended up in front of the student center. I tried a few things on this. At first I just wanted to ollie on then ollie the rail. But I’m not that good and the bushed had kind of overtaken it. So then I tried to manual the first part, drop down, drop down thread the needle through the rails. Nope. Last time I couldn’t even ollie up the ledge consistently so I’m happy I was at least doing that. Lastly I ended up at the hill ledges which had been freshly sand blasted. The taller curved one still grinded though. Well, at least it did the one in ten times I could get on it. I left after a couple weak front 50s and one real weak front 5-0. That ledge is hard.
