Ollie learned nose manuals on our sick new manual pad tonight. #🔨🔨🔨

After a fun night of replacing our garbage disposal I went out to the garage to put some tools away. I did a couple manuals on flat then saw this sheet of wood sitting there and decided to get buck on it. I told Ollie to come check out the huge new manual pad and he was super into it. So we skated it for like 20 minutes and it was a blast. I only did a couple ollies into manual, normally I would just lift up to nose manual or whatever. I ended up getting a slew of tricks. Sure they don’t really count, but yes they do. Nose manual front 180, nose manual back 180, manual front 180, manual back 180, front 180 nose manual, front 180 nose manual 180 out, front 180 nose manual rewind (so fun), back 180 nose manual, back 180 nose manual 180, switch front 180 manual, switch front 180 manual back 180. It was really fun. I was riding my garage board. Ollie had never done a nose manual before. It took him a bit to get the hang of it, but he did. And then he landed a bunch more like nose manual front 180, front 180 nose manual 180 out, front 180 nose manual rewind, manual front 180. Most importantly though he thought it was really fun.
