skate journal: campus with neil and nate (dec 31)

Got out of work early, picked up Nate and Neil and headed to campus.  We started out at the plastic bench pool over thing that Jeff back nose blunts in Null And Void.  At first we were all totally sucking.  Nate had an excuse though, his knee was hurting.  Neil turned it up though with the worst slam I’ve ever seen him take.  One of those back 50 hand ups jump all the way to your hip.  Doh.  I was having fun skating up/down the curb to start/end runs.  Well, in my case they were single tricks because I almost never landed anythign on the ledge.  I got a few kickflips down the curb, pop shove, switch 180s and backed something up with a crooks on the ledge.  We took off down to campus for a fun ride downhill ride.  My favorite trick of the day happened there as I ollied the 4 stair at the student center first try just cruising down to the banked manny pad spot.  We ended up skating the curved stair area for awhile and Neil even filmed me do a run.  I kickflipped up the curb, front 50d the middle stair then rode down the rest of the stairs and backed it up with a tic tac ridden wallride on a rock.  The best part being that I got the run in less then 10 tries which is pretty much unheard of for me.  Next up we went do the banked manny pad.  Nate’s knee was still sucking for him.  I was having fun, but we split when we saw the campus police roll by.Later on I skated Rampy for about 20 minutes and got quite a few of my huge bag of like 10 tricks.
