5 hour drive from Omaha on our way to Wisconsin to visit my brother and I mapped out a fun looking skatepark<\/a> only a bit out of the way. \u00a0When we arrived it wasn’t very crowded and it was cloudy, humid and hot. \u00a0Ollie chose to wear his helmet so I guess the park must have looked a bit intimidating to him. \u00a0Warming up was not easy after 5 hours of driving. \u00a0I cruised around for a long time not really doing much of anything. \u00a0Ollie on the other hand is a kid and doesn’t know anything about warming up. \u00a0He was doing longer back 50s up the slappy escalator than me and coming into the qpipe fine. \u00a0He also did some where he would come to a stop then grind backwards. \u00a0So awesome. \u00a0I think I would skate the street stuff a lot here if I lived nearby. \u00a0I found some lines I wanted to do, but everytime I’d start really trying them that area of the park would get overrun by scooters, bikers or mall grabbers. \u00a0I was able to get a few where I did tricks on a big flat bank, kickflip into a mellow bank then front 50 a ledge. \u00a0The flat bank tricks I got were backside flip, fakie shoves, fakie flip, frontside flip, no comply bigspin and eventually a super ugly and rare for me fakie treflip. \u00a0I didn’t always get the last part of the run and sometimes I wanted to back 180 out, but I always failed. \u00a0I also failed at manual, nose manual and kickback 50. \u00a0I got one kinda fast crooks. \u00a0The last part of the day Ollie was just doing flyout grabs off a 2′ qpipe into grass. \u00a0It pretty much ruled to watch. \u00a0He did a bunch of really good nosegrabs where he even rode out of it in the grass. \u00a0He tried some melons and indy’s but didn’t get them. \u00a0Pretty fun session. \u00a0That park is not all that, but the street course has some fun lines for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
