Still playing Mr Mom. India was at a friends, but Ollie had said he would go skateboarding with me once i was done pretending do work (at home). His friend Sam was over though and that kid was not in a good mood. He’s the youngest teenager ever. Anyways, after Ollie and I ate some nachos he bailed on wanting to skate and got upset with me for not wanting to play basketball. The compromise was to play basketball for awhile then I would skate flat in front of the house. You might think this is good parenting, but really I was just thinking it would be good for warming up my legs. It failed two fold though. First, Ollie was bummed once I left the basketball court. Second, I was one uncoordinated idiot. I had thought of treflips and how I didn’t do one for some reason when I skated flat for hours on Saturday. So I was like “I wonder how many I can do in a row?” The answer, never more than 1. Actually, I only landed one. I could not do a treflip to save my life. UGH. I tried a bunch of nollie treflips too. Everyone of them felt good, but I never rode away. Ugh, I’m approaching a year closer to 40 and feeling it.
