Rather than feel sorry for myself for being in pain and not skating well I went to campus in search of new\/old\/different spots I haven’t skated before or in years.\u00a0 I would start behind the student center.\u00a0 Initially with some straight dorking to get warmed up.\u00a0 Then slightly less dorking for a warm up line that would stoke me out.\u00a0 A kickflip fakie on the mellowest slope ever solely as a way to warm up and setup switch for switch 180 over a little grate into a little slope, ollie off a two stair (that had a crack a couple feet after so it felt like a little gap) then pose a back 180 down a 3 stair. Ollieing the little gap felt incredibly fun and reminded me how street skating soothes my soul.\u00a0 I never got close to the back 180, but I didn’t really care and moved to the front where I took some time to ollie up the two stair, ride off (it was dark) and then noseslide a tall rounded bench.\u00a0 I looked around for a while and ended up at the Baker ledge.\u00a0 I feel like I was somewhere else before this, but can’t remember.\u00a0 I tried a line of manual, noseslide to fakie, fakie flip.\u00a0 Never got the fakie flip, but started not caring and trying switch flips instead and got very close to one.\u00a0 Also got a little crook jib and ended with a front 50 that I didn’t think I’d be able to get because it was dark and due to ice I had to get on a somewhat taller section.\u00a0 It was an incredibly fun feeling front 50.\u00a0 I went home happy after that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
