I haven&#8217;t been there since the students arrived after summer.  I wasn&#8217;t feeling very social or all that motivated really, but I just didn&#8217;t want to end up at research ledge again.  I started with a couple slappy crooks at the meet up curb which didn&#8217;t come easy.  After quite a bit of pushing I ended up at the little bank by the stadium.  I tried to pop some basic ollies to start with.  Frontside and to fakie. It was fun.  Did a few no complies then took a bit too long to do a kickflip to fakie.  I posed a couple treflips to fakie and decided to move on.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8661.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8661-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"ledge\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8661-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8661-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8661-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8661.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hit this ledge for a bit.  It&#8217;s right by where Dave almost died trying to boardslide a curb.  Last time I was there I barely got noseslide and noseslide to fakie on it. Both of those came pretty easy this time so I went for boardslide next.  It took a bit, but I got a couple.  The ledge is tall, but short in distance which makes it hard.  I hucked a few flip tricks, but didn&#8217;t land much in between tries.  I figured I should try crooks since I was on a roll.  Got it first try!  A cop rolled up and parked as I was trying to ollie one of the rocks which made me happy to not have to go through that battle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8663.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8663-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8663-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8663-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8663-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_8663.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nF-NT8bZFOg\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I was headed to a bigger ledge, but remembered this and was hyped.  Normally there is no one around, but due to construction a lot of students were walking by.  It made it a little frustrating, but it was still fun.  I took longer than I should to get a front 50, but back 50s came easy.  I wanted to try something new and decided to start hucking back 180 nosegrinds.  Well as you can see above I kind of got one.  It felt rad I must say.  Then I basically walked home.  Kind of a weird night with periods of no motivation and then decent tricks for me.  It was good for me to get out of my element a little and street skating always feels more rewarding than a park.<\/p>\n<p>(setup null rabethica 8.5\u2033 deck, venture 5.8 v-light, 1\/16\u2033 riser, venom 91a bushings, 52mm spitfire f4 radial slim green\/black, new balance numeric 212 burgundy size 11, spenco 3\/4 thinsoles, footprints 5mm insole)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After a run to Meta I did a solo mission to campus.
