New board day!<\/p>\n

Went up to Meta to sell some wheels then rolled into campus. I have been really tired lately. I don’t know why, but I think I need to stop taking a naps because every morning I wake up too early. Anyways, it was pretty nice out. I just cruised down the main path for awhile. The new brick section is pretty fun. I ended up in front of Macky auditorium just kind of dorking around ollieing up\/off\/onto curbs and trying to get warmed up. I haven’t stretched as much lately since apparently it’s not good before skating so my body felt weird. I managed a first try manual across from Macky Dr then found a jersey barrier to wallride and another shorter one to do a little noseslide to fakie on. Some more pushing and I ended up at the new area that Nathan Fantasia<\/a> did the awesome gap to nosegrind on. Someone waxed up the edges of the ledge nearby and I skated that for awhile. I would do a kickflip over a little flat gap before backside tricks. I got boardslide, noseslide, noseslide fakie and crooks (kind of) before trying noseslide shoves. The frontside side is a little taller. I got front board and front nose to fakie before trying front 50s which would have been pretty tall for me. I got into it, but never grinded right or landed it. A couple other skaters showed up. They were really weird. One of them had half a ski pole with a GoPro mounted on it filming his friend who as far as I can tell didn’t actually land anything other then back 180s. They asked if I had wax so they could wax up a picnic table that was on top of a curb but the dude couldn’t get even close to skating it anyway. It was weird. They were nice enough, but when he tried a front 50, got way closer to me, then beamed me and said ‘oh that’s not so hard’ I decided to leave. Like I said I’ve been really tired lately which makes me more cranky then normal and I was on a solo mission anyway. I ended up near on the north side of the basketball stadium. I haven’t skated them before, but I had remembered there were a few sets of stairs down a little hill and that seemed kind of like fun even though my knees were hurting pretty bad. Turns out it was 4 flat 4 flat 3. All seperated by a lot going down a not-so-steep hill. I thought it would be pretty easy to ollie all of them. Then I remembered I can’t ollie or skate fast. Doh. The top 4 has a big crack right in front. So instead I would hit an awesome yellow curb, ollie up the sidewalk for the second 4 then the 3. Well, that was the goal anyway, basically all I did was do slappy front tails, front 50s and a front 5-0 on the yellow curb followed by bails down the 4. Until I did a good 5-0 then I finally committed to the 4 and scooted off the 3 terrified. Oh well it was fun. I walked back towards the car thinking I might call it a night. But then I ended up at the art building that has the great concrete, did a kickflip and decided I should skate flat for awhile which ended up being really fun. It’s slightly downhill and I did back 180 then halfcab flip. Better\/faster back 180 followed by fakie bigflip. Pop shove followed by treflip. Heelflips. That’s about it. I contemplated skated after that but instead I went home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
