I did a few slappy crooks at the spot then pushed a different way looking for something different.  Didn&#8217;t really find anything and I ended up at the super fun tiny metal ledge.  I love that there are no cars parked in that lot anymore.  The frontside run up is still short though.  I went through a few basics, got 50s first try.  Took a bit to get front 5-0 since it&#8217;s so quick, couldn&#8217;t get a back 5-0.  Got a slow fakie nosegrind which I hadn&#8217;t done there before.  Remembered to try halfcab crook and got one second try.  And it was a good one that grinded even.  I kind of fell out of it, but that&#8217;s the first one I&#8217;ve ever actually grinded and it felt awesome and put me in a good mood.  However after that I really couldn&#8217;t land much of anything.  Front nosegrind nope, switch crook nope.  Came close to kickflip noseslide.  Eventually got a line of front 50, heelflip on flat, ollie the 3 stair and pushed on to another spot.  Ended up at the tall engineering ledge and did a couple noseslide jibs before moving on.  I had wanted to at least try front 50, but there were so many students walking by it weirded me out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_2634.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_2634-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_2634-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_2634-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/IMG_2634.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I went to the ol&#8217; bank to curb that I hadn&#8217;t been to in forever and oh man was it frustrating.  At first I couldn&#8217;t ollie up the first curb.  It was so frustrating.  I don&#8217;t know why bigger setups make ollies harder for me.  I just had to lean forward a bit more.  So then I couldn&#8217;t back 50 the upper curb to save my life.  I had a couple failed board focuses.  Guess I wasn&#8217;t fully committed to breaking the board.  I tried some switch flips with my wheels in a crack as Nate suggested.  Got a sketchy back axle stall and felt relieved.  Then did a front 180 fakie 50 in a couple tries and called it a night.<\/p>\n<p>(setup 8.38 null monico deck, venture black icon 5.8 trucks, bones medium bushings, 51mm bones stf v1 wheels, 3 washers outside each axle, new balance numeric 212 size 11 with footprints gamechanger orthotic insoles)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Went to campus on another beautiful night.
