skate journal: good times on campus with rob and neil (july 4, 2021)

Another bright and hot day I was beat and running slow, but would meet up with Rob and Neil on campus.  We were quickly at the Baker ledge.  We seemed to all skate pretty well out of the gates although it was funny seeing Neil bail a manual that was totally locked in.  Neil was the only one locking into front 50s.  Rob had front board, halfcab board, board pop outs, manuals, I think nose manuals.  Neil filmed such a good line of him that included a front board pop out, no comply back 360, no comply finger flip.  Neil had some good lines too.  Front 50 then nose manual, halfcab up the curb front 180 off, halfcab noseslide shove, front shove.  I had manual and nose manual, noseslides and filmed a little line of switch ollie up the curb then switch front noseslide and kind of a fakie bigflip.

We briefly hit the downhill hallway ledge spot.  I got halfcab flip then noseslide.  

Then the stadium bank.  My legs were beat I was really hurting at this point.  Managed some kickflips and stuff, got stuck on back heel and treflip then gave up.  Neil and Rob did some good bean plants.  Neil tried a bunch of halfcab heels, but never got on one.  Rob had kickflip, one foot, back boneless, wallride nollies, killed it.  Then it was off to get some food and play some Cornhole at Jack’s.
