After a fun morning of climbing around on the roof and cleaning the gutters Jake came over, whooped me in a game of SKATE then we left for Lafayette. Ollie is super into skating again all of a sudden so he wanted to come. It was weird skating that park with him, because I felt I had to keep an eye out on him at all times. He was fine though and mostly just ollied down the tight qp near the entrance and flew out of the curb cuts. He did manage a nice b/s ollie on a flat bank as well. We had met Lazer, Brett, Brian, Carleigh and Dean so we had a crew. I kind of sucked it everywhere and don’t remember a single thing worth mentioning that I did. Jake had a nice front pivot on the wallride to rock. Lazer had a nice feeble to fakie on it. Brian got gnar and did blunt to fakie. Then it started to rain so after some hanging around Ollie and I went to Red Curbs. When we first got there, it was fine, but ..

.. then all hell broke loose. Pretty much everything got wet and a huge puddle formed. You could skate both sections of red curb, but without much setup. For whatever reason I told Ollie I’d give him a new deck if he ollied up the tall curb and did a pop shove off it. He did the ollie up pretty quick, but the regular pop shove down took many, many tries. He wanted it! Lucky kid. Jack and his friend Daniel had showed up and Jack ripped it cruising around on a cruiser board. Kickflip front nose jibs, almost back 180 kickflip nosegrind. I myself was skating like crap once again. I tried a million front 5-0 kickflips out and didn’t get close at all. I tried some kick back tails as well and didn’t get them either. The only thing I landed was a front tail shove to back shove out. But I didn’t even slide it. Yippee. Seeing Jack was rad.
