Not having a whole lot of time I went to campus excited for a solo explore session.  I was hyped on some Tom Knox parts and felt like skating some crusty spots. I did a few slappy crooks them moved to the weird 5 stair drop in.  First warm up run was drop in then back 180 a manhole then fakie flip on flat.  The back 180 was a weird struggle again.  Next I wanted to 180 off the ledge, but the full drop in speed was too scary.  So I just did a weird switch push and pump that was scary.   Got a few of those to get a halfcab flip after.  Then I wanted to manual this weird quick ledge.  It took forever and I didn’t get it clean, but it was rewarding.  Ollieing the little 2 stair before was fun.  I made a couple weak attempts at ollies over it, but gave up and moved on.  Saw someone had waxed the end of a curb and had a few fun simple runs.  Powerslides are fun.  Then I went to the Folsom field bank.  I had some fun no comply variations before a 10 minute struggle to get a kickflip that almost killed me.  Bs flip was first try.  Took forever to get a fs flip. Then left for home.
