skate journal: campus with the boys (july 11, 2026)

Posted in Skate Journal on July 13th, 2026 by corpo

On a half day after I scraped a car parking we hit campus. Neil, Rob, Gordon, Cass and I. We started at the shaded hallway. I didn’t really do anything. Some ollies were had, some 180s. Not sure a single flipper went down.

Next was the fitness center low to “high” ledge. Some 50s were had, some slides. Nothing too crazy. Rob’s back 50 were great. Neil is the king of grinding a perfect front 50, but not landing it. He was doing some cool lines to it. Gordon and Cass had long front 50s. I had a couple weak ones.

Next up was Baker Baker and to my surprise there were no cars. Neil may have done a cab off the curb then halfcab noseslide. Gordon and Cass had first try solid front 50s. Rob manuals, noseslides, and I think halfcab noseslides, no comply manual. I had a manual or two and some noseslides, messed around with some other stuff. I think Neil did nose manual too.

Then to the ledge spot with the ride on grind. Rob had more noseslides and frontside ride on grind, backside down it. Neil with a little grind on the fence base that was funny when he bailed, noseslide shove, front shove. Cass maybe a front nose. And that was it for the trip. Fun times fellas!
