skate journal: metal longmont park with Ollie and Sam (May 23, 2010)
Nursing a hangover and not that motivated to skate I needed to bring Ollie to SOL to pickup a new sweatshirt as we had promised him awhile ago. After he picked out the most expensive Spitfire hoodie we went to one of the metal parks there. I skated like crap as I expected. The only thing I did that came easier then I thought was boardsliding the flat bar across the table top. I also boardslid off the taller ledge on the other pyramid. I spent a long time trying front tails on the smaller qp and failed. Ugh. I blame the new shoes. Ollie was skating pretty well. He did rock fakies on the 4 foot like it was nothing. Lots of cannonball cali grinds with huge smiles too. He’s so fun to skate with.
