After some slow moving and breakfast at Southside Walnut we went to campus. It was Joe and Ben at first. We parked on the hill and went under the tunnel. We played a loose game of SKATE on the ultra mini bank to curb. I’m not sure if there was a winner, but it was a decent warm up. I did the little 3 stair ollie then terrible wallie nollie. Joe and I were trying tricks up the little euro/grate thing. Hardflip Joe and Garrett showed up. Security rolled by and said “keep the wheels on the ground” so we moved on. I had seen some footage of the low to high curb and we checked it out. And it delivered! Although the slight downhill approach made it hard for me to commit to front 50s. I would get a few slow little ones. Hardflip Joe did a hardflip then huge hippy jump. He had some cool front noses too. Garrett long back tails and the hilarious slam on the nollie heel. Nebraska Joe had some good 50s and his normal combos.

Then we went to the Baker area, but there were cars. So to the nearby ledge. Nebraska Joe struggled with front 50s which was unusual. Hardflip Joe did some front crooks, front tails. I did some switch noseslides. Garrett had the great halfcab noseslides, halfcab crooks (until I started filming) and some fun impromptu lines. Then the wind picked up and a big cloud moved in so we called it a day.
