skate journal: brief campus outing with ollie (april 20, 2015 day 107)

Posted in Skate Journal on April 21st, 2015 by corpo

Was super tired all day so got home from work and took a little nap. Ah. Ate dinner then had about 45 minutes before having to pick up India from ballet. I asked Ollie if he wanted to skate during that time and he said yes. Sweet! We hit campus. I had one of those very disoriented starts where it felt like I hadn’t stepped on a skateboard in years. I don’t know why that’s happening so much lately. It felt pretty cold at first, maybe that contributed. We cruised around the basketball courts, looked at some new stairs. Cruised around some more, ended up at the ledge thing above which is kinda silly. It’s just a little gap to manual. The drop off is kind of high. It took Ollie less tries to get it then me, but I think he tilted a little. We headed back to the car, but on the way hit this weird little ledge drop thing that Ollie manualled first try. I was pretty blown away so instead of getting shown up by Ollie once again I decided to ollie the it. It only took me like 10 tries, but take that Ollie! Ha. Ollie had a blast which is cool, maybe he’ll want to skate more again.
