skate journal: campus meh i’m done with big boards (nov 25, 2025)
Shortly before dark I went to campus since the students are gone. Or so I thought. Rolling into campus there were a lot more people than I thought there would be. I wanted to start at the micro bank to 2 stair, but it was behind a construction fence. I ended up at the mini bank next to the 3 stair near the stadium. I had setup an old 8.5 with aces for some terrible reason. And I went on to hate it so much that I basically gave up on skating after a couple attempts at warm up lines. I did manage a nollie shove to fakie on the bank, sw 180 up the curb across the street, b/s flip a little hip/bump. The b/s flip took like 10 tries and I was losing my mind. Totally committing, but the big board would not flip enough. I tried another line of nollie front 180 on the bank, back 180 up the curb across the street, halfcab flip the bump. But I gave up on the halfcab flip and did a fakie bigspin again. After that I just couldn’t motivate at all so I left.
