Went swimming at the Longmont Rec Center with India and Ollie and it’s right next to a little skatepark in Longmont.  Ollie saw it while in line for the diving board and from that moment on wanted to skate that park.  After some lunch and icecream we drove all the way back to Boulder where we left India to a friends house and drove back to Longmont to that park.  The bummer was the city removed a couple obstacles for some dumb reason.  Ollie was ripping.  Dropped in on the little quarterpipe and also got a rock fakie on it.  It’s funny because I had gotten him a new flannel and he looked so stylee in his gear.  Cracked me up.  Anyways, my foot was not doing well and I was SUCKING.  Between not being able to ollie and not being able to do axle stalls to fakie on the little quarterpipe I got really pissed off.  Not cool when your just out skating for fun with your kid.  After awhile we left because Ollie was bummed they took out his favorite obstacle (the pyramid/funbox thing).  We went to the ledge trick (called the “rollerblade” park by some) and Ollie amazed me by pushing pretty fast into the rollin.  He was HAULING ASS and rode out of it.  The father part of me was scared, but the skater part of me was hyped.  I continued to suck it up.  It took me like 10 tries to ollie over the low flat bar.  Ugh.  I can’t wait for my foot to get better.
