On a warm night I went to campus armed with a setup that would ollie better darn it. But it didn’t. At all. 8.5/14.25 with T2s aka the most useless truck made to date. Anyway I started at the mini bank to area and as soon as I had a ghost pop ollie to fakie I knew it would be bad. Bailed several switch ollies over a tiny gap. Moved on down the bank to curb. Sucked it up. Tried to do a nollie front tail (in which I didn’t even ollie up) and follow it by a b/s flip. Couldn’t get the b/s flip. Going downhill I had a little ollie up to nollie shove and some noseslides. Wasn’t confident enough to go fast enough to try anything else. Went down below and saw the amazing sunset and had to try a trick or two on the weird Ralphie ledge. Got noseslide to fakie, couldn’t get crooks. At the end I saw a tall ledge that Conor did a cool manual on forever ago in a Crisis video. I couldn’t ollie onto it, but I did do a front rock.

(setup 2/10 8.5/14.25 sample, jessup pj ultra, thunder t2s 149, snot 53mm franky wheels, vans half cab wafflecup beige size 12 with footprint gamechanger insoles)
