Skated Rampy with Ollie for a bit.  I got a couple alley oop grinds and front disasters as far as rare tricks for me and Ollie did his first ever grind in the middle of a run.  So much harder then just off a dropin.  He was ripping.It was at least 50 degrees at 8pm.  Incredible.  I met Nate at Steelyards and warming up was going awesome.  I manualed the long way first try.  Kickflips were feeling good.  I started trying a line with a pop shove at speed followed by a front 180 nose manual.  A couple tries in SNAP I totally broke the tail.  SUCK.  After moping around for a bit I remembered I had an old 8.25 in the trunk and set it up.  It was old and soggy, but better then nothing.  We hit a couple of the little gaps around there.  That spot has so much potential for more awesomeness.  Anyways I kinda of gave up on trying to manual too much on a different board, but had a fun run of a kickflip up the curb, kickflip off.  Nate had to leave quickly so we called it.  Bummed I broke that board.
