The rain subsided for awhile and the street dried up in front of the house. I went out for awhile and started the long and tedious task of warming up. It wasn’t as bad as normal. I didn’t really land much before Ollie came out with his board wanting to skate a little. He did a fakie shove on the sidewalk and came close to some pop shoves. I had loosened my trucks a little and it seemed to help. For whatever reason I thought of trying a f/s nollie bigflip and landed on it first try, but fell off. Whoa. I got close on a few more and posed some switch f/s flips that were not close at all. Then we rolled over to the school. We went down the little handicap ramp and ollied over puddles. Ollie slid out pretty bad once it was funny. I started trying kick back tails going one way and front tail kickflip out the other. Both were remotely close. I got in to a lot of back tails, but had too much of an angle every time and would stick. The front tail kickflip out attempts were not slides and I’ve never even done a kickflip out of a tail stall before so to get remotely close had me excited. The rain came back though and ended that. Ollie had also been pushing fast and doing early grab cannonballs over cracks. He also had front and back 180s off the curb. So hyped he joined me.
