Had to bring India to ballet after school and since Liz wasn’t home from Florida quite yet Ollie had to come with. He wanted to play basketball, but we didn’t have a ball. I had brought his skateboard though and was able to talk him into the scooter park since we were in north boulder anyway. He was pretty bummed after a bad day at school and for the most part just sat around. He did some more of the flyouts to grass rides, kickflips while holding onto the bike racks, front 180s, lots of intentional falls into the grass. I kind of went flipper nuts on the miniature bank below Ollie. Just squint harder, it’s there. I had a fun little line of f/s flip then b/s flip on the “hip” below. Got fakie bigspin, halfcab flip, kickflips to fakie (with f/s or b/s spins), then started trying 360 flips. Not the varial flip ones, but the full 360 flip in a b/s ollie. It took a long time and Ollie was really wanting to go so I gave it a 5 count. On the 4th one I landed it. But it was really bad. Hands down, not quite rotated all the way. Ollie said “over 40 make!” Since I had one last try anyway I went for it and somehow came up gravy with a fully rotated 360 flip. It’s cool because it’s slightly over 360 flip. It felt great.
