skate journal: solo table mesa (Aug 11, 2010)

Finally had some energy, but not much time. After work I played Barbies with India (meaning I fell asleep while she played) and then football with Ollie. So fun. I used the old “I need to go to the ATM” excuse and skated in the Table Mesa shopping center area for about 40 min. It was a blast. I started out at my eye doctor’s parking lot just going fast and doing some ollies. I got a little run with ollie up the curb past a crack, ollie a grate to manual the sidewalk. Fun. After that I ollied a brick flat gap to parking lot that I’ve never done before. Posed an ollie over the kicker to parking lot gap. If that crack wasn’t before it I would maybe really try it. A couple ollies in/out of the other kicker I was at the long manual pad with the wallrides, but got sidetracked by a “I used to skate back in the day, have you heard of Tony Hawk?” guy and was too tired to skate anymore after that.
