Not being hungover on New Years Day rules. \u00a0I had gotten a few things down around the house before we headed out around noon. \u00a0Today was my last day of being a bachelor as Liz and the kids get back from Obamaha tomorrow. \u00a0The Parker skatepark<\/a>\u00a0was crowded as usual. \u00a0I heard a dad drop off his young daughter and friend on their scooters and say “have fun playing”. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0Aboout two seconds later they nearly got killed by Jeff trying a gap. \u00a0Parents are clueless. \u00a0Especially me. \u00a0Ha. \u00a0The session was pretty amazing though. \u00a0I didn’t stop skating for two hours. \u00a0I came close to getting a front smith on the bank to ledge, got a first try back board pop out, 50’d the tall ledge (1 out of 50 tries), got some back axle stalls on the weird circle qpipe up top and followed it by ollieing into the bank and off the ledge, front 50’d a q-pipe, did back axle stall to fakie, did some good back 50s on the little ledge, nose manualed the little manny pad first try, did a bad front 5-0 shove first try, and basically had a blast. \u00a0Jason skated hard and was ripping. \u00a0Jeff did some really rad trick. \u00a0Fakie front crooks the bank to ledge. \u00a0Damn!We left and went to a spot that Jeff was telling us about. \u00a0It had a bunch of little plastic ledges, weird banks, and three stairs. \u00a0It was perfect for old men. \u00a0Although jeff straight killed the spot. \u00a0We were thinking of heading somewhere else when Jason and I tried ollieing a little bench. \u00a0Jason did it all good, I sketched it, but suck at ollieing and was hyped to have ollied a bench. \u00a0Jeff did an absolutely retarded line where he ollied a bench then ollied another bench into the parking lot. \u00a0We ended up skating for awhile and it was some of the most fun I’ve had skating in awhile. \u00a0Jason was killing it. \u00a0Neil, Jason and I tried a little gap that we eventually all landed. \u00a0Jason 180’s it. \u00a0So rad. \u00a0I did a little line where I ollied up a three stair, kickflipped up a curb, then ollied a 1 flat 2. \u00a0It was nothing in the modern world of skateboarding, but seriously the funnest thing at the time. \u00a0We left when it got dark hyped on skateboarding. \u00a0Since the wife and kids were still gone I figured I should skate the ramp. \u00a0The wind had picked up all crazy outside so skating outside wasn’t even really an option. \u00a0Nate ended up showing up and skating for awhile. \u00a0I landed maybe the second best front smith I’ve ever done and most of my tricks. \u00a0The only new trick of the night was an accident, but I’ll take it – nollie back 5-0. \u00a0Rad. \u00a0That ramp is seriously the best money I’ve ever spent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
