The coldest day of the season in the 20s, but it wasn’t snowing like they said. Carleigh and I rolled out and parked on the North side of campus for a change of scenery. We started out at the long red curved banked thing. We skated it kinda weird though where we ollied onto this curb nearby and tried to survive the cracks then ollie onto the bank. I got rock ‘n roll and rock fakie in lines of slow kickflips and sw 180s. Next up we hit a building I’ve never really noticed before. I got a front 180 over a little gap. Next up was a parking lot near the rec center where we stayed a long time. Whenever we thought it was warming up it would get colder and when the snow looked to take over it would let up. Cool. Carleigh 180’d this weird curb and then we worked on lining it out. I got a kickflip over the curb, then ollied a little flat gap. Then we went even further back. Carleigh almost got ollie a median, pop shove, front 180 the curb. I got front 180 the median, f/s halfcab flip (took awhile to land this), kickflip over the curb, ollie the little flat gap. The kickflips over the curb where scary because I was actually going faster for once. After that Carleigh worked on switching up varial flip for pop shove, but never got the varial flip. I was doing nosebonks over the little median. It’s possible I’ve done something like that before, but those felt like the best nosebonks (maybe the only ones?) I’ve ever done. Stoked. I tried to change up my line for no comply over the median then ollie a bigger flat gap (7 foot). I kept going to slow and did the stupid reach for it thing where you almost wreck your ankle. I sure wish I could ollie. A few ollies later we were back in the heat of my car.Later on Nate came over for a Rampy session. I was pretty sore and tired and not feeling it initially, but Nate kicked it into gear pretty quick. Hurricanes eluded me again, but I managed fakie hurricane, fakie pivot fakie, front lips and a couple fakie frontside tough guys (maybe they are fs chink chinks? but I’m not fakie ollie’ing at all). Nate rules Rampy. The best out of control trick hucker ever. He can’t do a back 50, but he can to a fakie smith 270 out. He did quite a few new tricks, but I don’t remember anymore. He skated good and we had a blast. After we went to Community then played some poker at Brian’s.
