You would think that on day 299 I would be more hyped. \u00a0The fact is I felt super burnt out, sore, and not motivated to skate. \u00a0I was however, very happy to finally get to skate with John after weeks of conflicting schedules. \u00a0We met at Meta then rolled down into campus. \u00a0First stop was the angled curb parking lot. \u00a0Not as fun the 4th time. \u00a0We both tried the narrow ledge drop to ollie back up and failed. \u00a0The death factor was a little high for me that early on in the session. \u00a0Some more rolling around, a John kickflip slam and we ended up at the two stair in front of the crowded UMC. \u00a0There was a lot of stressed out students finishing up finals. \u00a0I don’t miss that part of college at all. \u00a0We tried to manual the two stair for awhile and both came close (John was way closer) before a group of students came out and smoked cigarettes on the stairs. \u00a0Smoking sucks. \u00a0We were supposed to ollie the four stair on the way out like it was nothing, but I failed. \u00a0Three times. \u00a0I was really feeling the motivation issues. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0I finally got it and we hit the well lit area nearby for a game of SKATE. \u00a0The last time we played SKATE it lasted for about three hours. \u00a0This time, not so bad. \u00a0John got me with front shove (ugh), fakie flip (ugh ugh), treflip (ugh), nollie flip (ok with that one) and switch flip (considering I’ve only landed it once i don’t mind losing on that one). \u00a0Next up was the banked manny pad. \u00a0Or in our case, a bank. \u00a0John looked at it and all it’s cracks in disapproval, but after I layed down a couple Gillinghammers first try he accepted the spot for what it was. \u00a0I did front rock, front tail and a front tail backside revert. \u00a0Maybe even a manual to rock ‘n roll manual out with a few tilts. \u00a0John did front tail, almost a rad sal flip and then we both ollied and took off to the round stairs. \u00a0John ollied it huge first try and I layed into a long powerslide which turned my cheap wheels into rectangles. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0John did some good back 180s off the 3, I did some bad ones off the two and that was it. \u00a0Day 299 done. \u00a0So hyped on not having to skate every day anymore. \u00a0Gonna take a day off before the big 300 so I’m more motivated and enjoy it more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
