skate journal: phishy campus round 2 with some rain (july 5, 2025)
Another hot day. Had no plans and kind of lounged around for a while after a run with Liz. Waited for some cloud cover then went to campus in the early afternoon. I started at Baker. Similar setup to yesterday but Aces instead of Slappy lights which I liked more. But that’s not saying much. I was pretty sore out of the gate and would have periods when I felt okay. I started with some no pop slide tricks on the lower part. Was starting to get beyond the warm up tricks when it started raining. I chilled under a gazebo for a while then went to the downhill covered hallway. Took a bit to do kickflip then noseslide. Went back to Baker when it dried. Didn’t get beyond warm ups again, got into a couple front 50s, manual, good feeling noseslides. Then I went and looked at this little area with a picnic table and a 3 stair. I’ve wanted to line out something like this for a long time, but it was so much harder than I thought. Mainly because the bench of the table felt like it was super tall. But I would eventually get some bad noseslides. Got an ollie after. Then eventually the 180 too. Regardless of how sloppy it was, I did enjoy it. I think I basically went home after that.
