\"\"On a very windy day I brought Ollie and his buddy Sam out skating. \u00a0I had some new shoes. \u00a0Yeah yeah I know, I only had those Circa’s for a bit and the DC’s are mall shoes. \u00a0Well, those Circa’s were very thin and I skated them everyday for two weeks. \u00a0The DC shoes are really good. \u00a0I wish I could have worn them longer to break them in, but oh well.We went to Southern Hills. \u00a0Pushing hurt more than it should have initially. \u00a0I have some type of problem going on with my left groin. \u00a0Probably due to skating so much and rarely pushing switch. \u00a0I dorked around for awhile trying to push switch to loosen up. \u00a0It was kinda fun and the new shoes were feeling decent. \u00a0Ollie and Sam were having fun cruising down the little sidewalk that leads into the courtyard of the school. \u00a0Ollie was going really fast. \u00a0Pushing as hard as he could (mongo of course) and trying manuals down the handicap ramp. \u00a0He eventually did the whole thing without a scrape. \u00a0He also tried front boards on one of the benches, but never really got anything more than the front wheels up on it. \u00a0I settled in to trying a couple lines. \u00a0Coming down I would try cali grind, noseslide the tall ledge, kickflip into the handicap ramp, front board pop out on a bench. \u00a0After getting the front board popout first try before trying the line I thought it would be easy, but I would never land it again. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0Coming the other way I tried to manual a bench, crooks a bench, then b\/s flip. \u00a0I never got any of the tricks other than the crook. \u00a0Man I suck at skateboarding. \u00a0Back to the front board pop out line I gave up and just tried to ollie onto the bench and 180 off, but the wind gusted up crazy insane and we just left.Back to the ol’ mellow bank spot with the curbs at the bottom on Folsom. \u00a0We rolled in and noticed a homeless woman not looking well at all. \u00a0It’s always weird rolling in where someone is resting. \u00a0She looked really bad. \u00a0She mumbled some stuff and we kept skating. \u00a0The kids instinctively kept their distance. \u00a0I continued to suck. \u00a0Sam is just learning, but started doing some things like rolling off a curb, turning around, slappy disasters, etc. \u00a0It’s funny because he pushes goofy footed, but totally looks like he should be regular footed. \u00a0 Ollie was totally ripping. \u00a0He wallied over a parking block onto the bank then turned around and 4 wheeled over the block. \u00a0He also carved backside over parking blocks to slasher grinds on the top. \u00a0High ollies off the curb, f\/s ollies on the bank and put both feet on a back shove on flat. \u00a0So sick. \u00a0Oh yeah, the homeless lady had left for awhile then come back. \u00a0I decided to be nice to her and talk and it ended up being rad. \u00a0She was grateful to watch us skate and kept saying how much of a natural Ollie was. \u00a0It was cool. \u00a0Throughout the whole session I skated, but didn’t do much worth remembering. \u00a0Some manuals onto the bank, a wallie onto the bank where I accidentally manualed back into a 4 wheel over the curb. \u00a0We had fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
