Had some morning basketball fun with Ollie then some waiting around video watching with Brian, Neil, Jason and Ollie. \u00a0Greg and his photographer buddy Dean arrived and we went off the the Canyon center. \u00a0It was a big day for Ollie as he joined us. \u00a0A big day for me because I had to be on good behavior and keep an eye on him. \u00a0After the previous session I decided I need a more legit excuse to totally suck on a skateboard so I started up with my new bright blue shoes.\"\"Yes, this is really what they look like. \u00a0The brightness kinda bums me out, but at the same time they remind me of something Louie Barletta would wear so they make me smile. \u00a0They are some I-Path Lyndhurst shoes given as a gift by my buddy John. \u00a0Thanks John!It was windy at times, but mostly it felt hot as we rolled into the Canyon Center. \u00a0Everyone warmed up on the metal banks. \u00a0Brian was trying front rocks on the tall one, Greg was trying feeble to fakie, Neil and Jason were just kinda cruising around, and to my surprise Ollie wasn’t being overly shy and was doing little wallrides to fakie and even rock fakies on the smaller metal banks. \u00a0Stoked me out so much. \u00a0I was just kinda being mellow and warming up too slow. \u00a0Eventually Greg and Brian started trying wallies and I filmed them. \u00a0Greg got wallie, wallie front 180 and wallie stalefish. \u00a0Brian got wallie to front 50 down the other side radness. \u00a0We rolled nearby to this wallride spot but got asked to leave right away. \u00a0Darn old people. \u00a0After Brian put down trick #2 for With A Vengeance (wallie gap) we left for the Canyon Center.First we stopped at a little grocery store to get some snacks. \u00a0I let Ollie pick out whatever he wanted and he chose Junior Mints. \u00a0We don’t have too much candy lieing around the house so he was super excited. \u00a0We got to the Canyon Center and Greg went to work immediately on the 9 stair. \u00a0He ollied it a few times, then fakie ollie, then posed some fakie dog piss’ since he’s already landed it on video. \u00a0Dean was taking photos and was nice enough to show Ollie. \u00a0Greg also did fakie melon about 5 times. \u00a0Sick!Neil and I were skating around on the ledge area. \u00a0Neil put down a sick line of pop shove over the cone, halfcab over the ledge, heelflip, crooks fakie. \u00a0So sick. \u00a0I was trying front 180 over the cone, halfcab flip, no comply over the bench but never got all of it. \u00a0I wish I could blame it on the new shoes, but they were fine. \u00a0Eventually Neil and I tried kickflip up the ledge and then kickflip down, but neither got it.We were leaving when Greg scoped out a gnarly ledge ride to drop on the corner of the Canyon Center. \u00a0We stopped and filmed until Greg got it. \u00a0So gnarly. \u00a0I filmed it and Dean shot a sequence. \u00a0Ollie was hyped to see the big stuff Greg was doing in person. \u00a0All of us were though. \u00a0Greg rules.Next we went to the old folks home bank to curb, but the wind was too much for that spot. \u00a0Lastly we ended up on campus where I had seen a monster gap to manual that was bigger than I remembered and too much for Greg. \u00a0We all skated around and Carleigh went nuts and ollied, pop shoved and kickflipped a larger than normal 5 stair. \u00a0So sick! \u00a0Jason ollied it super good too. \u00a0Dean and I had tried a few, but had not committed when Greg offered us each $1 for the next try. \u00a0I committed, but didn’t land it. \u00a0Dean didn’t either. \u00a0I can’t believe how foreign jumping down a five stair felt. \u00a0It felt good to actually commit to it, but the ollie felt so bad and it also made me feel really old. \u00a0Oh well. \u00a0Ollie was having fun cruising around the place and riding through grass. \u00a0I scared myself and dropped in on one of the ledges, but didn’t ollie off. \u00a0I also got a first try 360 flip in the new shoes. \u00a0All in all a pretty epic day for me. \u00a0I didn’t skate all that great, but seeing Ollie having a blast all day and knowing how stoked he was made it such a great day for fatherhood. \u00a0 That night TF went out and it got roudy. \u00a0Beers, shots, fights, etc. \u00a0Fun times. \u00a0Mostly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
