Up early on another beautiful saturday morning. This rules. Ollie wanted to join in the old man fun as he seems to be into skating lately. The crew was Fuzz, Rob, Dave, John, Simon, Ollie and I. It took me a long time to get going. John was ripping already of course. He’s got it like that early in the mornings. Super graceful b/s ollies over the hip. A lot happened that morning and I don’t remember much somehow. That park is weird. Rob, Fuzz and I don’t get too hyped by it. Fuzz did a cool board stall 180 out on the bottom of the marble hubba. It tried to manual on it, but was too scared. Ollie was cruising around how he does. It was cool he had lots of hip tricks like halfcab, front 180, ollie and kind of f/s halfcab. It’s nice that he’s chill and doesn’t talk and demand attention like a lot of kids do. Rob manualled a long section of the park that involved going up and downhill. Fuzz and I tried to get his back. Fuzz did. I didn’t. Simon was slaying the park. He’s so good. Fuller and I finally settled in on the kicker to kicker ollie challenge. It took landing a flatground 360 flip to hype me enough to commit to the ollie and rideaway stoked, but bummed it took me so long to do it. Dave got my back. We were hyped. Dave got a feeble transfer that he’s been wanting to do forever. So sick. After awhile it was just Ollie and I. Ollie did a fakie shove from high to low near the mellow bank by the triangle flat bar. I took a long time to do a dumb line of kickflip to fakie then turn around and noseslide down the low marble hubba.

Then we got some food and went to this park. It might have been overkill for Ollie because he was over it after doing a few tricks. And it was pretty hot and sunny at this point. I tried hard to do some ledge stuff, but I had no pop. I had a line of wallride, axle stall, boardslide the mini bump to rail, crooks the ledge. I had some other stuff I can’t remember now. Tried to do kickflip pivot on the bank to curb for awhile an failed. Overall a fun day though and hyped that Ollie was down to skate so much.
