Skating a couple days before a skate trip is the worst. \u00a0I wanted to skate, but the fear of getting hurt is kinda hard to ignore. \u00a0So I went to campus around 9pm and it was way colder than it should have been. \u00a0I wasn’t too motivated and it showed. \u00a0I cruised around to a few spots and didn’t really try anything. \u00a0Eventually I ended up near the tunnel going to the hill. \u00a0I wanted to do a run where I ollie onto the ledge on the 3 stair, kickflip, powerslide, noseslide the ledge that Jam front noseslid in an old Meta video. \u00a0But I couldn’t get the speed for the first ollie so I just resorted to ollie’ing the 3 stair. \u00a0But even then I didn’t do the noseslide as it was too sticky and I was going to fast. \u00a0I also tried starting the line with the drop from tall ledge to short ledge which is still terrifying to me even though I’ve done it a bunch. \u00a0That was a dumb line too. \u00a0It was cool trying to tailslide the rail at the start of the ledge though. \u00a0I eventually moved down to the next building and started trying a line of no comply 180, fakie ollie up a curb, fakie flip, sw front 180 off. \u00a0But the fakie flip was troublesome as it was a downhill sidewalk and the cracks kept getting me. \u00a0Then a cop drove nearby so I left and ended up at the ledges on the hill. \u00a0I started off sucking, but ended up having fun. \u00a0Got some front 50s and some b\/s noseslides before the light shut off and I slowly headed back to the car not really skating much of anything on the way back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
