Went to campus on a crisp morning. Was not feeling overly ambitious, but wanted to start at the rec center area since I knew it would be dead. Warming up was okay. I was getting into a groove of trying a slow kickflip off a bump then trying to ollie the rock when a truck pulled up to work on the rental e-bikes by the bump. Doh. So I hit the ledge for a bit. Noseslides were not easy, but the crooks did feel good. I had also done some very easy axle stalls on knobbed ledge which made me think I could 50 again. Oh yeah, before the guy worked on the bikes he did a funny little workout. I should encourage anyone working out, but it was just funny in the middle of the sidewalk like that. He eventually left and I went back to trying to ollie the rock. I never committed. There was a couple that felt close, but I never went fast enough and committed. I cruised down to the little manual pad area. I could not do a regular manual or nose manual to save my life. So I just tried sw 180 manual which I eventually slowly got. I wanted the back 180 out and was close. I hucked heelflips until I eventually landed one then moved on to the ledge off the step that has no runway. Sw noseslide shove was fun. But I once again could not front 50 and it of course put me in a terrible mood and not a good way to end a mostly fun session.
