Feeling a little better I was ordered to play basketball with Ollie after dinner again. It exhausted me even though it was pretty fun. It also blew out my shoe as you can see above. That is my switch foot so none of that came from skateboarding, the suede tore from the sole. So that meant new shoes. The Lakai Carlo shoes in the background. I have had then before and they are some mighty fine shoes. Jake came over and then we picked up Carleigh and Jack. Carleigh was hurt so just wanted to hang out and shoot photos. Like this one:

Jake had suggested a bump in a newly redone parking lot near Wahoos. The bump ended up not being so great, but we found some other fun stuff around. Jack was the first to front board the front of the tractor. Then he did all kinds of stuff on it like nosebonk, nosebonk front 180, all kinds of stuff. I managed some weird front boards on it, but I was happy about it.

We hit this too. Jake mannied it in a line with a kickflip. I got lucky and mannied it first try so started a night long battle with nose mannies. The slight downhill and metal grate was messing with me. Jack was ripping. Doing long lines, cruising around looking like he was having a blast. It was awesome to see. Jake suggested a new spot when I was mid battle with the nose manny then beamed me until I landed it. After that we played a game of SKATE that was nobody’s finest. It was fun though. Jack won. I blame the new shoes.
