park. \u00a0I was rocking some new shoes. \u00a0Seeing as how the last pair was the best pair of shoes I&#8217;ve maybe ever had I got another pair. \u00a0DC Crew S in pretty burgundy. \u00a0They have that good cupsole support with decent board feel.Anyways I was really tired, not too into skating hard, but Ollie was ripping. \u00a0He did a rock &#8216;n roll on one of the dumb concrete qpipes 4th try. \u00a0He&#8217;s never turned out of a rock before. \u00a0Rad. \u00a0I started showing him tricks on the flat bank and he got all of these first try. \u00a0Body varial, ollie to fakie, fakie ollie, backside kickturn, frontside kickturn, backside ollie. \u00a0Took him a few tries to get a f\/s ollie but he did it. \u00a0Besides, if you&#8217;ve seen me skate the term &#8216;ollie&#8217; is a stretch anyways. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0At the end I did a run where I ollied up the tall ledge, ollied off, did a kickflip to fakie on the flatbank then ollied a flatbar. \u00a0Not so bad considering how many days I&#8217;ve skated and how sore my legs were.Next we went to the little concrete <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecoloradoskateboardguide.com\/index_files\/longmontstephendaypark.htm\">hip park<\/a>. \u00a0I was so sore at this point and basically just did tailslides over the hip and had a blast doing it. \u00a0I even got a couple b\/s tailslides. \u00a0I manualled the deck near the hip once and Ollie did the same. \u00a0He did it like it was nothing. \u00a0Then he started trying to manual longer from bank to bank. \u00a0So sick. \u00a0What blew me away though is once he manualed the deck then kept it in manual down the bank to the flat. \u00a0He had the biggest smile and didn&#8217;t stop skating until I made him as it was totally dark out. \u00a0Such a fun time. \u00a0Again, skating with your kid is crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I kinda wonder why I live in Boulder sometimes when I drive to Longmont both days of the weekend. \u00a0Ollie wanted to skate and he seems to only really like parks. \u00a0We can&#8217;t go to the Boulder park because it&#8217;s too fast of a park and I don&#8217;t want to worry about him getting nailed [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-skate-journal"],"wppr_data":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1j9K4-iL","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1163\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
