skate journal: Rampy with Ollie and a Creature! (April 18, 2011)

After a long and draining day at work I went home and fell asleep for awhile. After some dinner then an hour of basketball with Ollie we skated Rampy for a little bit. I had my new board that I won in the eating contest in SF. Thanks Cruz! This board is 8.25 which felt good on Rampy. I haven’t had a pro board since I started Null eight years ago. Crazy! I had one of the better first runs I’ve had. I didn’t do a whole lot though as I was mostly just goofing around with Ollie trying to make sure he had fun and would want to skate again soon. I suppose I should have been making Ollie do all of this tricks at least 10 times, but we skated for about 30 minutes before doing some butt dropins and races. He did manage to get front rocks again, even though it took a few tries. He also did a flatground shove and fakie shove. Radical.
