It was really cold out, but Ollie and I bundled up and went for it.  When we got to the park there was only a couple flyout kids there.  We skated the little mini ramp section.  It was pretty fun.  The wind seemed to die down so that was nice, but lots of people started showing up.  Some were even smiling and nice which is an improvement on the typical Omaha crowd.  Ollie is fun to watch skate.  He landed a few legit back 50s and celebrated by doing some early grab cannonballs to fakie. 

  We went over to the street area as I wanted to do some tricks on the ledge.  My knee was feeling ok.  After a few boardslides I went for crooks which I haven’t done in months.  Got almost everyone I tried.  Awesome.  The ledge isnt short so I was hyped to also get front 50s.  Then I had a blast ollieing up the little ledge and doing front pivots on a weird bank to curb.  Ollieing into the bank was fun too and I followed it up by going into the snake run and doing a long back 50 then a front smith. 

So fun.  I also did a really slow back 50 on the little ledge followed by a bad front nose on the main ledge.  I got a ways to go before I’ll feel like I’m doing Jason any justice.   Fun day.  Best I’ve skated since the arthritis started.
