skate journal: louisville park then some solo oldfart game action (march 8, 2015 day 66)

Another busy morning being Mr Mom. Went to CostCo. That is never quick. Had to pick Ollie up at a friends in Louisville so I hit the park for an hour before picking him up. The scene sucked. But that’s to be expected. It was warm out and if felt great. I did some typical warming up stuff. Tried the ol’ line of ollie onto the ledge, drop into the bank, axle stall, then b/s flip the hip. Came close, but never landed the b/s flip. I shouldn’t have bailed a couple of them. My friend Steve showed up as did Blake. So rad. I failed at bonelesses for awhile, did a couple basic flippers on the bank then failed at kickflip axle stalls on the bank to curb for awhile.

Then I had 45 minutes while India was in a Pilates class and this clip pretty much sums up all of it. Except that the boardslide pop out was way harder then it looks and took me most of the time. And I would have probably done a better f/s halfcab flip, but I was interrupted by a drunk dude wanting to talk about how passionate I am about skateboarding.
