Had a fun night with the kids after not seeing them for a week in Seattle.  We played kickball and my legs felt good after that.  I wasn’t gonna go skate, but used the excuse that I needed to deposit some checks and brought my board.  I tried to not take forever to warm up, but the first few ollies up a curb were wallies so it was scary.  I started over by Southside Cafe and ended up getting a couple decent runs for me.  Kickflip up a curb, nollie a crack (so sick ha), wallie a parking block/speed bump then ollie a pole thing by the cafe tables.  It was kinda scary because the landing was between two tables.  Coming the other way I did 180 over the pole, sw front 180 wallie, heeflip bail.  Coming back again I did a first try pop shove up the curb that surprised me, heelflip that also surprised me, wallie, pole ollie with an accidental bonk.  Sweet.  I ollied the pole one more time then left to the kicker area where I slammed a lot trying ollies.  I tried lots of ollies until I was finally happy that they were actually leaving the ground.  I tried a run with ollie, no comply, turn around b/s 180 into the kicker then fakie heel, but never got the fakie heel.  I tried that run a bunch which was nice to just stick with trying ollies.  Maybe I’ll learn to ollie before I’m 40.  At the very end I did a 360 flip in a narrow brick median by my car and left.  Stoked I got to skate for a little bit and how hard I skated.
