skate journal: Lynnwood skatepark with Ollie (July 24, 2009)

Liz’s brother had all kinds of activities planned for us on this trip.  Luckily one of them was a stop at a nearby skatepark.  Unfortunately it was in the morning after skating late the night before and my body was having troubles.  The park reminded me of the Louisville skatepark kinda.  Not great, but you could have fun for sure.  I was having a tough time doing anything and was kinda just cruising around doing nothing.  I lost a game of SK8 to a kid and then basically just watched Ollie skate around.  Ollie was riding my board which is clearly way to big for him, but he was having fun and I figured I’d shoot some photos and stuff.ollieOllie ollieing the 3 stair.  We’re gonna start going by his middle name initials HD so we don’t hear anymore of that “Nice ollie Ollie”.Here’s Ollie cruising around.  I’ve been on him about the mongo push, but he’s 7 so I guess it can slide.  My board was clearly too big for him, but my favorite part is the casual board dismount at the end.
