On the way up to my parents house we stopped in Fairplay so Ollie and I could skate the park for awhile.  It was windy, I had just eaten, and I had skated til almost midnight the night before so I was not running short on the excuses. When we first showed up there was all these high school seniors in graduation gowns cruising around the park.  It was pretty weird, but funny and they were nice.  They left shortly and Ollie and I mostly had the park to ourselves save for a few mongo pushing helmet bearers and the wind.  I skated like crap.  I tried carving the bowls and really wanted to at least carve over the love seat, but I couldn’t keep my speed (can’t blame the wind for this one) and failed at that.  I wanted to boardslide or noseslide the jersey barrier but failed at that too.  The wind gets partial blame for that one though.  The only things I was remotely proud of was carving over the rock in the corner, manually down the kicker, and a first try ollie up the ledge , ollie over the gap.  Although every try after that was ridiculously lame.  I got front tails on the bank to brick coping and bank to curb.  Ollie was having fun.  Ollieing off the kicker, doing rock to fakies, etc.  Nothing crazy new to report with him, but he smiles more than anyone and looks so natural on a board.
