\"\"<\/a>Had such a fun morning. \u00a0Woke up early, played basketball and football with ollie for a couple hours so my legs were warmed up and feeling good. \u00a0The TF van pulled up and Ollie and I piled in. \u00a0I was so hyped that Ollie wanted to skate with us. \u00a0 He skated the whole time basically and even talked a little instead of just being super shy. \u00a0Anyways, yeah, on the bus! \u00a0My first time in the bus for a saturday skate mission as I’ve been unable to attend for one reason or another.\"\"<\/a>Lazer was there and ready to eat.\"\"<\/a>Ollie scored a Tootsie Pop. \u00a0So hyped!\"\"<\/a>I had me some new shoes. \u00a0Not so hyped on red, but everything else about them seems good. \u00a0Lakai Manchesters.First spot was Boulder Ditch. \u00a0Ollie likes that spot. \u00a0He did a rock to fakie on a rock followed by a halfcab to fakie. \u00a0Pretty ridiculous. \u00a0He also did back rock and front rock. \u00a0He thought a front rock was a “switch rock”. \u00a0Wrong, but stoked that he’s trying to get trick names down. \u00a0Brian had troubles, got upset, tossed his board, a log, a 2×4 and more debris into the ditch all while smiling. \u00a0Even when he’s freaking out he’s still funny. \u00a0Lazer did rock to fakie on the tire. \u00a0Neil did boardslide on the rail and nollie back neil on the qp. \u00a0I had some mediocre axle stalls then started trying a line of front rock on the qp then kickflip to fakie over the little hip. \u00a0Somehow a miracle happened and only a few tries in I landed it. \u00a0I was really really hyped on it. \u00a0Next spot.We went to the yellow angle iron ledge, but got booted before Neil or I could do a back 50. \u00a0In other words at least 10 minutes.Next we went to the bank with the holes in it<\/a>. \u00a0We dorked around for a bit then lines down the bikepath “hill” started happening. \u00a0The first one was a sw 180 over a crack, a few ollies, then a b\/s grind. \u00a0It was actually fun. \u00a0Well, until stuff got harder. I tried to get a kickflip at speed, but didn’t get one. \u00a0 Brian got a no comply 180 and a bunch of slams. \u00a0Lazer looked uneasy on his skateboard. \u00a0Neil had some speedy one foots. \u00a0We ollied some cinder blocks at the end too. \u00a0Pretty fun. \u00a0Oh and at one point I got a little front 5-0 across the top that was first try, felt easy and was really fun.Next spot was the little curbcut spot<\/a>. \u00a0Most of TF sat in the bus. \u00a0The Square State kids rolled around. \u00a0Ollie did too. \u00a0I wanted to ollie off the tall ledge over a bush years ago, but was too afraid. \u00a0I felt like trying it again and did it first try. \u00a0It was really easy, but kinda hyped me up as maybe sometimes I actually feel like I’ve gotten better at skating. \u00a0I also got a fun line. \u00a0Ollie up a curb, ollie up another curb, ollie off a curb (boring I know), kickflip up a curb, wallie back 5-0. \u00a0I don’t remember what else went down.Last spot was Casey Middle School after we picked up Jack. \u00a0TF played basketball. \u00a0Ollie, Jack and I skated in the back while they shot hoops. \u00a0After some messing around Jack had gone over to some tall retainer wall ledges and was trying some crazy manual drops, but slamming hard and breaking his trucks. \u00a0Ollie was cruising around, but then mostly watched the basketball game. \u00a0I worked on a couple lines involving the rocks. \u00a0First was an ollie onto the bench then an ollie onto a rock . Yippe, that one came quick. \u00a0Second one was harder. \u00a0Front 180 off a ledge, halfcab flip, ollie the rock, boardslide the ledge while dodging some guy slinging a ball at the brick wall with some lacrosse looking racket. \u00a0That one hyped me up. \u00a0Then we went and filmed Jack do a gnarly dropin and TF went to eat BBQ. \u00a0Jack, Ollie and I skated the top for awhile.\"\"<\/a>We mostly skated this gap. \u00a0Ollie ollie’d it before chilling for the most part while Jack and I skated. \u00a0Jack tried a few tricks into the grass downhill and either rode it out or slid down the hill on his stomach. \u00a0It was funny. I got a line of ollie the flat gap, ollie up the tall part of the ledge and then boardslide jib the ledge off the ledge. \u00a0Jack and I skated the little gap that Ollie ollied after that. \u00a0I took a long time to get front shove, but got kickflip right away. \u00a0I did a couple boneless tricks over it too and a really bad back 180. \u00a0Jack did some crazy ones. \u00a0Front 180 late shove. \u00a0No comply front big heel. \u00a0No comply lazer flip. \u00a0Double flip. \u00a0I don’t know what else, but we had a blast. \u00a0Then we went on to watch some pretty awesome skateboarding<\/a>. \u00a0Super fun day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
