I got home from work and the females left for India’s ballet practice leaving Ollie and I to do whatever awesome dude things we want to do.  We chose the best possible options – playing skateboarding on the Wii.  Ha, no, we went skating over at the school across the street.  It was still kinda light out at first and Ollie was cruising around all over the back of the school with the biggest grin ever.  Ollieing over little piles of snow, the state of Florida (on the big painted map), body varials over cracks, ollieing into grass, totally being a kid.  I was taking it kinda mellow other than ollieing one of the sections of a four square game.  It measures out to a little over a six foot flat gap which aint easy for me.  Although i guess nothing but paint to clear makes it pretty easy.  I messed around with some wallrides at one point and Ollie started trying them too.  A couple tries later he rides away from one.  Then pretty much everytime he does them.  They aren’t full on legit wallrides.  He turns on the wall with his front wheels and pops it out somehow.  But he does them high enough that his back wheels are off the ground too.  He was so stoked on those.  So was I.  Before leaving I wanted to do 5 flippers real quick.  It wasn’t super quick , but I got kickflip, fakie flip, b/s flip and f/s and b/s halfcab flips and we rolled out.

Hurting from an awesome Valentines night with the Mighty LZA and a long day at work I didn’t feel much like skating.  Luckily Nate did.  It was pretty cold (upper teens) so we opted for Rampy.  Somehow both of us started pretty good and we moved into our harder tricks pretty quickly.  I got lots of tricks that aren’t normally first try tricks first try.  Yippee.  Front D, back hurricane, fakie front axle to rock ‘n roll.  Nate was doing front 5-0 fakie, fakie smith 270 out, fakie smith fakie, front D.  We were ripping for us.  I moved onto front feebles pretty quick and was trying them in a not so easy run for me.  Back 50, boardslide fakie, front smith, fakie front axle to rock ‘n roll, fakie pivot fakie then front feeble.  Never got them all and never managed to not throw in a few rock fakie/tail stall additions into that line.  But I did get the front feeble.  A couple of them.  And I was really hyped.  After that I tried blunt to pivots, but never got a good one.  I got tired pretty quick.  Nate was still ripping and worked his way up to feebles to fakie.  It took him a bit to put one down, but once he did I think he did like 5 in a row.  Fun session.  I’ll give some credit in my confidence to the DC’s.  I hate to admit it, but they are some of the best shoes ever.
