Today we celebrate the birth of my younger brother Steve. \u00a0Unfortunately he lives hundreds of miles away in Wisconsin so I decided to celebrate by going skateboarding all day. \u00a0Ok, so maybe going skateboarding all day doesn’t have anything to do with my brothers birthday, especially since he doesn’t skate anymore, but hey, it sounded good. \u00a0And yes I am the king of run on sentences. \u00a0Around 10:30 Ollie and I showed up at Rock Creek on a gorgeous September day. \u00a0September is seriously the greatest month of the year. \u00a0I actually skated pretty hard for the time of day. \u00a0It always helps to see you son out there smiling, slamming and learning new stuff. \u00a0He’s starting to pump a little further up the tranny and getting more consistent at ollies. \u00a0So rad. \u00a0I don’t remember what exactly I did that warranted me saying I was skating hard, but I was for me somehow. \u00a0After the longest game of SKATE ever with Lloyd while waiting for Fuzz we headed off to a gnarly pole jam spot. \u00a0Not a good place to warm up, especially if your Lloyd. \u00a0He got smoked. \u00a0Twice. \u00a0Super gnarly slams. \u00a0I came remotely close to committing to a pole jam no comply, but it was too tall and I cant move my leg up that far. \u00a0Next was Willville. \u00a0I had told Neil I want to no comply finger flip into medium bank so we went there. \u00a0Fuzz and Neil killed it immediately and Lloyd destroyed his body even more with the worst slam there ever. \u00a0He has no skin on his knees now. \u00a0As Brian and Gabe were rolling up to meet us I landed the no comply finger flip into the bank. \u00a0Rad. \u00a0Lloyd didn’t film it though. \u00a0Doh. \u00a0I ended up doing a few more although I don’t know if any of them were that great. \u00a0I landed on the tail pretty bad on all of them. \u00a0Fuzz ollied a monster gap and Brian tried an insane hippy jump before we finally left after hours of skating and being subjected to young college women dressed for a hot day. \u00a0I got some amazing footage of Fuzz staring with the biggest grin on his face. \u00a0So funny.Lastly we went to the Boulder ditch. Brian got a good trick and I finally got an axle stall on the q-pipe. \u00a0Yes I suck there, but at least I finally did a basic trick. \u00a0The clouds came out and Jason, aka The Street Vampire, came to life and killed it. \u00a0Pivot fakie, back tail on the q-pipe to feeble on the pvc and back tail fakie on the q-pipe. \u00a0Jason rules. \u00a037 and killing it. \u00a0Super fun day that ended with a BBQ at Rob’s house and the funnest beer infested frisbee toss ever. \u00a0Hippies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
