Ollie and I hadn’t gone skating in awhile.  We went to Rock Creek and there was two other little kids and a dad on rollerblades.  Ollie was hyped because there wasn’t bigger kids to intimidate him.  I was bummed because the dad kept wanting to talk to me.  Luckily Darrin showed up and I skated with him while Ollie rolled around having fun.  I sucked it up on the ramp and am pretty bummed how little Rampy helps me skate real sized ramps.  I slammed hard on a axle stall to fakie.  But in reality I wasn’t skating hard and was tired and cold.  Darrin and I played a game of SKATE that I somehow won.  I landed a nollie treflip.  Sweet.  Then we went to the Louisville park where Ollie just would not leave no matter how much the wind picked up.  Kid smiles more then anyone when he skates.  So rad!  He dropped in in a couple different places in the small bowl.  Sick!  I basically just cruised around not doing anything other then being cold.  Ugh!

Woke up real early on Saturday because of skateboard excitement.  And I mean real early, aka 5:50 am and couldn’t go back to sleep.  Nice.  Around 9am I just had to go try a kickflip to see how my ankle would take it.  I bet India and Liz each 5 cents I could land one first try.  Ollie wouldn’t take the bet since he knew I had it in the bag.  Ha.  Landed it and was 10 cents richer to boot!  After skipping rocks with the kids I met up with Brian, Rob and Jam and we started off at the Louisville ledges.  Rob and I took a year to complete a game of SKATE.  I was getting used to a new 8.25 board.  It didn’t feel all that surprisingly big compared to the 8″, but it was definitely harder to spin around.  We skated the ledges for awhile.  I did a few horrible crooks and some front 50s then started playing with a metal bar from a sign that went across the flower boxes where the ledges are.  I got a couple 50s and started playing with it in a line for fun when Brian showed up with the camera saying it should be filmed.  I ended up getting a nose manual followed by a 5-0 on the bar and it ended up looking pretty cool I thought.  Thanks for filming Brian.  We arrived at a fun little ditch later that Brian wasn’t feeling.  Rob and I skated for awhile and it was pretty cold.  I ended up trying a few tricks that Rob was kind enough to film.  It was more so to see what they looked like.  I got a blunt to pivot which I’ve maybe landed two of on anything other then a curb before.  Fun day.
