Had a pot luck at work so I was totally stuffed and sick feeling from brownies, rootbeer floats, cookies, etc.  Ugh.  Wanted to skate though and Ollie wanted to as well so he headed out to Stonehenge.  It was a super nice night.  70 degrees, sunny.  So amazing.  What was even more amazing though is that I actually landed a few tricks right out of the gates.  That has happened in forever.  On the bank to curb I did about 5 basics in a row.  Seriously folks, it’s been forever since I was able to do tricks quickly.  It felt bloody amazing.  I struggled on kickflip axle stalls for awhile though.  That is until I somehow pulled a perfect kick back smith out of nowhere.  I got a manual on the manny pad which should be really easy, but it isn’t for me these days.  Before leaving Ollie did about the sickest trick he’s done yet.  On the bank to curb he put his front axle up onto the edge of the curb and did rock fakieish grind.  I was stoked so he proceeded to show me how easy it was for him and did like 20 in a row.  Rad.  Oh yeah and he almost did a halfcab up the little curb there.  Fun night.
