skate journal: Arvada with Ollie and Sam (10 / 10 / 10)

‘Twas a gloomy and cool fall day.  Liz and I had a date the night before and slept in real late.  Eventually Sam and Ollie asked to go skate so we risked the scattered showers and after a brief stop at Community we rolled up to a nearly vacant skatepark.  Warming up was fun just cruising around that place is always a blast.  A few other kids showed up, but they couldn’t even drop into the 1 foot qp.  I had a pretty fun session, but still couldn’t really ollie due to knee pain.  It’s getting better, I just don’t want to due any long term damage putting pressure on it.  Skating tranny doesn’t seem to hurt it much.  New stuff I got was a manny out of a tiny qp to tail stall in, roll out/in backside above the pool corner, board stall back revert transfer over the spine backed with a fakie front pivot fakie, front 5-o around a little corner, front slash on the bank which took a few tries last time came first try.  nice.  Ollie was ripping.  He did mostly the same tricks, but I saw a rock ‘n roll on a taller qpipe, rock fakie on the bank, some low on the tranny ollies over hips.  Not much longer and he’ll be way better than me.  Sam got some back 50s on the qp out of the ground and improved his game.It started to sprinkle so we went to a parking garage off Wadsworth that I hadn’t skated in forever.  I couldn’t really ollie and didn’t feel like pushing it.  But I was super hyped to get a drop off a curb to manny, around a corner and into boardslide on a curb.  Got a couple of those and one was super clean.  That really hyped me up.  Sam learned cali back 50s super good.  Ollie was ripping like I hadn’t seen before.  Big ollies off a two stair, full speed ollies up a curb (half the time with a little wallie), a few backside boardslides on curbs and a banger at the end.  Ollie up the curb then front board the brick ledge.  So sick.  Total little kid steez where he came to a halt before popping off, but whatever, it was awesome.
