So here they are:

I had setup a new Lung deck. Perhaps the last one I will skate as the Dinoseries is almost gone so I put some extra effort into this one. Ollie and his buddy Sam did the griptape art. So awesome. Ollie’s stuff is near the top, Sam’s at the bottom. Sam put a Star Wars Light Saber on there!

You would think that since it’s the last one I’ll skate I wouldn’t put so many stickers on it, but the truth is all my sponsors have been on my case lately. Yeah Right! I have all these stickers sitting around and wanted them to go to good use.

This line is bonkers.

Hung around and slept most of the day after a late night feeling like crap. And no, it wasn’t a hangover. But yes, the Black Dots show was a blast. I will have photos up sometime. Anyways, the weather dried up, but it was still cold. I went to the Lafayette park to meet Brian, Carleigh and John. I got there first and Max’s little brother was there with crew again. They skate so much it rules. I was definitely not feeling good. I had no desire to ollie and everything made me feel achy. Carleigh eventually showed up, then Brian with Jam and then John. When Jam shoes up you can’t make excuses. So I tried the rail and failed. Brian almost did it while beaming me which would have been epic. Brian, John and I eventually did get boardslides down it. John also front 50d the hubba super easy. Carleigh did some pop shoves into the bank mixed in with some gnarly slams into the bank. Ouch. Then she pop shoved the 3 stair bolts then followed that up with a really bad slam which she hurt her foot. Oucher. John slammed on a front shove into the bank then followed it with a make. I did a slow and crappy fakie bigflip into the bank. I didn’t have the mindset for the rail/ledge section so just started carving around the snakerun. It was fun. John and Brian joined. I got a kickflip wallride second or third try which hyped me up. Brian did lots of crazy lines. John had some poppy ollies and good lines. I tried to do some ollies at the end, but they were pathetic. Brian was getting more air then me without even hitting his tail. Had a good time, but not sure it was worth getting as sick as I did afterwards…

Another Saturday where the forecast was 67 and sunny that turned into 51 and rain. Ugh. Ollie and his buddy Sam wanted to hit a nearby park with a kids section (Zuni), but we settled for Red Curbs. I was feeling a bit run down, tired and achy. Ugh. Ollie ripped it. He isn’t really ollie’ing up curbs yet, but I saw him do back 180 and front 180 off a curb. I’ve never seen him do front 180 off anything before. It was sick. He said he also did pop shove off a curb, but I missed that apparently. Doh. He did some other cool stuff and smiled a lot and it stokes me out soooo much to skate with him. Sam can roll off curbs pretty good now and was doing little slappy front boards where he came to a halt and pulled it off. Pretty cool. I didn’t do anything special. I didn’t even feel like flipping my board. The boys were wanting to go to another garage and I was wanting to try a run of halfcab flip, nose manual, ollie the little median into the rain. But then a car load of kids arrived. It was rad though, it was Max and Jack’s little brothers and crew. Those kids are awesome. Ollie and Sam felt intimidated and went to the car, but I skated with them for a bit and maybe tried a little harder than I had been, but nothing special. Then we went to another parking garage which also has some red curbs, bit isn’t as fun. I had fun doing the basics there though. There are two parking blocks real close to each other and doing ollie then wallie took awhile. I also did some front and back 50s and tried a few front 5-0 kickflips out which weren’t close at all. The boys mostly ran around playing at this spot, but ollie did fall pretty hard trying to boardslide a parking block. He laughed of course. Then I went to 303, traded boards for a big nosed 8″ Null, got some cute pants and saw the Antihero team stop by. It’s kind of embarrassing trying on shoes of a pro that’s standing in the same shop (Gerwer), but he was funny about it.
