\"\"<\/a>So last night the family was sitting down for dinner when two truckloads of skiers pulls up to the school across the street and start getting their gear out. \u00a0My kids said something about how there was some big jumps they saw at recess. \u00a0Kids were sliding down them. \u00a0Seeing as how the school is totally flat I thought it was a bit odd. \u00a0Turned out they have one of those wakeboard winch pulley things<\/a> to get speed. \u00a0After awhile they turned on the generator and lights and started filming some “grinds?” over the fence in front of the school. \u00a0Ollie and I went out and watched for awhile. \u00a0It was pretty funny being a lurker after how bummed I’ve gotten on people lurking when I film the Null kids at night. \u00a0Anyways, a couple of these guys were pretty good. \u00a0They would go up, turn, slide about 15 feet then do 180s or 360s (helis?) out. \u00a0I say ‘heli’ because that’s what skiers called spins back before snowboarding became so popular. \u00a0And what’s with their gear? \u00a0Their pants sagged all the way to their ski boots. \u00a0Their jackets went to their knees. \u00a0Is it kind of like rollerbladers trying to prove how cool they are at the skatepark by sagging so far? \u00a0I don’t know man, they looked like clowns to me. \u00a0Maybe I’m just old.After awhile the cops ended up coming and it was funny because I’m pretty sure the cop hadn’t seen anything like that before. \u00a0I mean you know, if I haven’t seen it before (and I’m insanely hip to Xtreme culture being a skateboarder right?) then I’m sure the cops haven’t either. \u00a0The cop gave them a few more tries and told them to shovel up their mess and shook their hands when he left. \u00a0Neat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
