skate journal: phishy campus blah (july 3, 2025)

On a hot Thursday afternoon before a 3 day weekend I went to skate campus without knowing there was a big Phish concert. Doh. I had parked and was well into campus before I realized what was happening. I went to warm up at the downhill hallway spot, but there was already a couple people skating. Ended up at the shaded hallway by the student center and skated flatground for a while. I had a setup change, basically the same but with indy titaniums. I hated them and everything about the setup. I struggled to land anything, I think in 30 minutes I had only done kf, fakie flip, halfcab flip and b/s flip. Ugh. I moved on, rolled all over campus, didn’t really skate anything until the flagstone ledge where I proceeded to lay an egg and basically did nothing.

(setup 1/10 8.25 null flaherty, pj grip, indy titanium 144, bones stf v1 53mm 103a, new balance numeric 440v2 wide size 12 navy with half insole and currex runpro insole)
(pain level 7/10 in fact after skating I sent Nate a text that said ‘it’s one thing totally sucking at skating and another totally sucking and being in incredible pain while sucking’ ugh)
