On the way to my mom’s in BV we stopped at the Fairplay park. No one was there. It was cool out, but not cold and no breeze whatsover. Ollie was cruising around the park quickly. I was hyped to skate, but quickly proved I had no energy once again. I bailed a lot. Ollie doesn’t skate much, but it’s fun when he does. He was doing manuals around the hip, carves over the rock love seat, pushing mongo everywhere, front 180s off the little wedge and halfcabs over the hip. I had done a couple of back 180’s over it and decided I wanted to backside flip it. 30 tries later I got one. Ollie with the hype. Then we left. I was hyped to get that trick.
