One of the mellowist New Years I’ve had and that’s saying quite a bit.  Around 7 or so Ollie and I went out to Rampy.  I don’t remember anything too special that I did.  I was happy about doing front tail and front d first try.  Fakie pivot fakies are always fun.  Ollie was kinda ripping.  He did most of his tricks.  Some of the fakie ollies were well above coping.  He was doing way more frontside kickturns than normal and I suggested he try doing an ollie.  Most were just little Glen ollies, but one of them was legit.  Not above coping, but damn, he’s 8.  It made me try a few frontside ollies too and one of them felt kinda good.So the year is done.  I skated 312 days.  Not as far over the 300 mark as I would have thought, but above 300.  I have to admit I am proud to have made 300.  It was not easy and although part of me wants to try for it again, I think skating around 250 and learning to ollie higher then a curb sounds better.  Happy Null Years everyone!  And good luck to Rob and Neil who say they are going for 300 in 2011.
