Met Nate around sunset after work (which is like 5pm these days) at Meta. \u00a0We rolled down under the bridge after Nate quickly 50d the ledge like it’s nothing. \u00a0I don’t get doing downhill ledge tricks as warmups. \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0We ended up about 5 feet past the bridge and skated that area for awhile. \u00a0We ollied the small bench gap then Nate started trying to ride into backlips on the bench. \u00a0 We both tried it awhile and got it. \u00a0Neither of us have done backlips on a ledge before so even though we didn’t ollie in, it still felt cool. \u00a0Then we ollied the big two that’s there (Nate first and mine was horrible) before doing a few slappy grinds on the slanted curb. \u00a0Fun. \u00a0We moved into campus and were surprised that most of it was dry.We cruised by a few other spots that either had cops or snow on them and ended up at the brick courtyard with benches. \u00a0I got a few basics quick while Nate bailed the gap into the street. \u00a0Normally he has that everytime. \u00a0I kinda got \u00a0a crooks and some front noseslides. \u00a0Nate ollied a pile of now in a couple tries and I kinda ollied it in several tries. \u00a0Next we ollied a weird 3 stair then moved up to the 1 – 7 curves stairs. \u00a0Nate ollied down the 4 easy and I took a few. \u00a0We also both manualled the downhill sidewalk and had some ollies up the smaller sections of the stairs. \u00a0Before moving on I did a gap down to back 5-0 a stair down. \u00a0I thought it was dumb, but Nate seemed to think it was cool.Next up we went to the Business building where Nate could not for the life of him do a side rock like Little Jack on the banked ledge. \u00a0I got it kinda quick, but Nate seriously almost died like 30 times. \u00a0He kept putting his board in the mud and everything. \u00a0So funny. \u00a0Maybe the first time ever that I’ve seen Nate have to struggle on a trick that I thought was easy. \u00a0Nate rips though and after having enough he ollied and 180’d up the long 2 like it was nothing. \u00a0I got an ollie up it. \u00a0We tried some manuals at the two long downhill pads for a bit. \u00a0Not that great then went up to the engineering building and found that somewhat had waxed up the ledge near the banked area. \u00a0Impossible to describe but it was relatively easy for Nate and I to do wallie back 50s on. \u00a0So fun. \u00a0That was basically the night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
