skate journal: campus dorking with Fuzz (June 7, 2012)

Oh man, finely mostly recovered from the intense skatathon with the Fremont crew. Met Fuzz around 9 on campus. We rolled to the mini bank to curb. Oh yeah, crap I had all new stuff.

New shoes (eS Theory 2s). Null board. Null supers. And for the first time in 2 years, new bearings. Wow my board was fast, the normally little hill on the way to the bank to curb actually kind of freaked me out as my board went way faster then I’m used to. Whew. After a few tries each we finally got the most basic trick there of manual around a sign. We went on to get our switch pushing and fakie/switch trick itch. Fuzz did fakie pivot all perfect. Ollieing fakie was hard for me. He also did chink chink. The best part was us pushing switch though. Fuzz took a few tries to be able to run and set his board down switch. It was so funny. He would run and was unable to not put his left leg on the board first. We stuck with it and did some stuff though. We both got switch crooks. Fuzz did switch pivot both ways. We rolled on and ended up at the tall ledge by the engineering building. We did some nose stalls and front rocks before Fuzz’s had a palpitation. Scary stuff. We walked it off. Fuzz then had to take care of some other bodily issues so I skated flat for a minute. Worked on a tech line of sw 180, kickflip, b/s 180. Never got it. Fuzz joined up and I noticed a cop so we walked off, peeped some spots, saw Sean skating, chatted, then called it a night.
