skate journal: father’s day campus session with ollie (june 21, 2026)
After a terrible night of sleep Ollie and I went to campus. I parked under it this time. I was armed with an even smaller setup and it did not work whatsoever. Ollie did the drop down manuals like it was nothing. He hasn’t skated since last Father’s Day that I know of. He also pushed fast into the hill above the stairs and had no problems. The drop down manny took me a bit, I came really close to kickflip off. Then we went to the weird loading dock area that Ollie is shown above performing his name. I also ollie’d off it after a switch 180 into the tiny hill before it. Next up the engineering building where Ollie had no problems jumping down the 3 stairs. I had a lot of fun with slappy crooks. Couldn’t get kickflip after. I did get back 180 but didn’t feel the need to put it in the post. Ollie’s boardslide was pretty cool, never seen him do that before like that. All in all a really fun day with Ollie even if my skating was terrible.
