skate journal: Tired me and energetic Ollie at Valmont (sept 13, 2010)

Today is my brother’s birthday.  Happy Birthday Steve!  Anyways after a long ass day of work, selling some boards at SOL, losing in Foosball at Sol (although I finally beat Allan in one game at least) then dinner Ollie and I went out for a bit.  I was so tired and it showed.  I sucked.  Ollie on the other hand looked like he got shot out of a cannon.  So much kid energy and he never stopped.   We cruised around the building and it was so fun.  Just cruising and ollieing up onto curbs and what not.  He gets up them most of the time now.  He’s got a little wallie just like me.  Poor kid.   He is really trying to take me up on the new complete for no more mongo pushing as he only pushed mongo once or twice the whole night.  He’s also getting close to getting a good clean pop.  He has so much fun though.  He had some funny boardslides where he comes to a halt then grabs the nose and yanks it around.  both ways.  He also got into a blunt on a curb.  I decided to take some photos of Ollie trying nosegrabs off the escalator.

Oh and yes, he’s an 8 year old kid.  Show boat nosegrab.  Makes me laugh so hard.Ollie wants to learn about the camera too.  I guess he doesn’t know about the “make old people look younger” filter yet.
