After such a good day of skateboarding the night before<\/a> I figured I was doomed. \u00a0I was in charge of Ollie and his friend Sam and they wanted to go skating. \u00a0Perfect! \u00a0The weather was awesome too. \u00a0The first 60 degree day in forever. \u00a0My parents said we actually broke a record for the longest time ever between 60 degree days. \u00a0Some 100+ days. \u00a0Ridiculous. \u00a0 I figured I’d take them to the bank\/curb spot near Mikes Camera. \u00a0Ollie ended up inviting more of his friends so I ended up bringing 4 mongo pushing kids to the spot. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0I ended up not sucking like I expected and skated hard while making sure none of the kids were hurt or anything. \u00a0After messing around for awhile I settled in trying manuals into stall tricks on the sidewalk section of it. \u00a0This ended up being super hard, but really fun for me. \u00a0I came really close to manual to front tail, but then started going to b\/s tricks as it was just easier that way. \u00a0I got manuals into axle stall, pivot and nose pick. \u00a0It’s too mellow to manual back easily so I would try a slow trick like a no comply boneless or whatever it is that Neil does so good. \u00a0Ollie was ripping. \u00a0Frontside and backside carves around the parking blocks like it was nothing, ollieing into the bank and trying body varials out of the bank. \u00a0At the end he almost got frontside grinds while carving over a block, but asphalt doesn’t grind to good. \u00a0That would have been so sick. \u00a0 Cooper ollied the two stair pretty easily and eventually did some good carves too. \u00a0Quin and Sam were cruising around and having fun too. \u00a0After awhile I tried a run of ollie the angled manny pad then try to ollie up the awkward two stair. \u00a0I was struggling with that so moved on to trying front 180 nose manuals then the ollie up the two. \u00a0Never got that either, but eventually got the ollie up the two and was hyped I landed so many 180 nose manuals. \u00a0Fun session to start the day. \u00a0Had to get Quin and Cooper back home for baseball practice so we bolted.Later on I met up with Jake and we went to skate campus. \u00a0We started up near Meta and agreed on skating the wallride spot which is halfway across campus. \u00a0Jake took off b-lining it for the wallride spot. \u00a0I took my time cracking ollies over sidewalk sections, doing some kickflips, manuals, etc just trying to get warmed up. \u00a0At the wallride spot Jake landed like the first 5 wallrides he tried. \u00a0Sick! \u00a0The normal Glen was back. \u00a0Aka the one that doesn’t land anything. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0The wallride took several tries and I couldn’t get any flippers to line it out. \u00a0I did manage a good manual along the sidewalk though and ollied over the really low manny pad. \u00a0Hyped on that because it was terrifying to me.We agreed on the banked manny pad next. \u00a0On the way I ollied the 4 stair and posed a couple flippers over some sidewalk cracks, but bailed. \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0The manny pad was pretty dirty as it must have had snow on it for the last few weeks or even months the way this winter has been. \u00a0I was pretty grouchy at this point of the session for some reason. \u00a0I guess just being tired and not landing tricks like the day before. \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0Jake laid down the best tre I’ve seen him do in the parking lot there. \u00a0I kind of ollied a trash bag of shredded paper, almost mannied down the manny pad, posed some hardflips and took several tries to land a sw front 180 into the manny pad.We started heading back toward the car since Jake didn’t have long and stopped at the student center. \u00a0I ollied down the 4 first try then watched Jake try to ollie up the 4. \u00a0So sick. \u00a0He came really close, but never rolled away. \u00a0Next we hit up the building with the new tiny banked curbs and other stuff. \u00a0Jake made fun of me for not knowing what building it was. \u00a0The Economics building! \u00a0Ok I got it. \u00a0It was never a skate spot before so how would I know? \u00a0ha. \u00a0I’ve wanted to do the drop down then ollie back up then big drop that I saw Jack do in his sleep a year ago. \u00a0It took me several tries and Jake telling me I owed him gummy bears if I didn’t do it to finally get it. \u00a0As ugly as I did it I was hyped to finally do it. \u00a0It was really scary for me to ollie onto a narrow ledge that has a 5 foot drop on one side and 3 foot on the other. \u00a0On the way out I ollied the \u00a0gap into the banked curb and then the ol bench to bikepath gap. \u00a0Decent session. \u00a0Sorry if I was grouchy Jake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
