Skating a couple days before a skate trip is the worst.  I wanted to skate, but the fear of getting hurt is kinda hard to ignore.  So I went to campus around 9pm and it was way colder than it should have been.  I wasn’t too motivated and it showed.  I cruised around to a few spots and didn’t really try anything.  Eventually I ended up near the tunnel going to the hill.  I wanted to do a run where I ollie onto the ledge on the 3 stair, kickflip, powerslide, noseslide the ledge that Jam front noseslid in an old Meta video.  But I couldn’t get the speed for the first ollie so I just resorted to ollie’ing the 3 stair.  But even then I didn’t do the noseslide as it was too sticky and I was going to fast.  I also tried starting the line with the drop from tall ledge to short ledge which is still terrifying to me even though I’ve done it a bunch.  That was a dumb line too.  It was cool trying to tailslide the rail at the start of the ledge though.  I eventually moved down to the next building and started trying a line of no comply 180, fakie ollie up a curb, fakie flip, sw front 180 off.  But the fakie flip was troublesome as it was a downhill sidewalk and the cracks kept getting me.  Then a cop drove nearby so I left and ended up at the ledges on the hill.  I started off sucking, but ended up having fun.  Got some front 50s and some b/s noseslides before the light shut off and I slowly headed back to the car not really skating much of anything on the way back.
