Just couldn’t take not pushing anymore. NoLove and Rampy are a blast, but I was really missing pushing around, doing ollies, flatground, etc. So around 8pm I parked on 9th next to the back stair entrance and walked down to the bottom level avoiding any security sightings. Sweet. It was still super cold down there though and there were cars or puddles by every skateable blue curb. After pushing around for a few minutes I started skating some flat which felt pretty foreign. I found an orange cone after awhile and set it up to ollie over. It was one of those medium height ones, so not super easy for me, but not tall. I ollied it a bunch of times and tried to get some good lines with it. My favorite being the sw front 180, kickflip and then ollie over the cone with more speed than normal. I think I also did a halfcab flip then front 180 over it. I was trying a line of ollie over the cone, treflip, nollie treflip, but never got close. Mainly because I sketched one of the ollies and landed in the middle of the board and put my foot through it. Doh. Happy to have skated and looking forward to a new board, shoes and wheels. Ha.

Some people you don’t even have to know very well to know they are amazing. Every memory I have of Scotty is a smile. Best wishes to his family, I cannot imagine the pain they are going through.
