skate journal: at the school with ollie (May 17)

Very tired from being up late and lawn work Ollie and I went ot the school across the street.  I basically just skated the no setup curb the whole time.  Ollie almost did a front 50 on it first try.  I tried to skate coach him into trying it again, but he didn’t want to after it didn’t work in a few tries.  I went through the basic stalls the started trying the Jason trick.  Front 50, back 180 while on the ledge into a fakie grind.  Seeing as how you can’t grind without any setup speed I tried just stalling it.  Turning the back 180 is way easier than I thought it would be.  I landed a few of them.  But since I wasn’t moving who knows how easy it would be when grinding.
