Cold enough that the garage was even pretty cold.  For some reason I was really hyped to skate Rampy again.  I had thought about trying more kickflip pivots and wanting to try backside blunts all day.  Did I land either of them?  No.  Did I even try them?  No.  I got stuck in a fakie hurricane rut, did more front smiths than normal (of course they still look like crap as documented in the clip above although I&#8217;m pretty sure some of them looked better), struggled at front ds again, had some horrible attempts at ollies, argh.  I was thinking it would be funny to take a photo of one of my ollies and put it next to the <a href=\"http:\/\/nullozinejr.com\/zine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/fuzzollie-640x1006.jpg\">photo of Fuzz&#8217;s ollie<\/a> and say that it&#8217;s my goal by the end of the year.  I wouldn&#8217;t write a <a href=\"http:\/\/letsgetbeautiful.wordpress.com\/2010\/12\/16\/dear-josh-steele\/\">love letter about it like Chad<\/a> though.  That&#8217;s just plain weird.  Ha.  Ollie on the other hand was doing backside scratch grinds which I haven&#8217;t seen in awhile then started trying frontside kickturns faster and faster and started getting close to little frontside slashes.  He eventually got a few.  So sick.  Then at one point he did a front rock.  He&#8217;s never done it before, just did it first try like it was nothing.  So sick.  After awhile we started getting tired and since I want Ollie to get sponsored by Mountain Dew soon I knew we should documents his new tricks.  We filmed\/shot photos for a bit more and laughed a bunch.
