Liz and India were gone for the evening so I was watching Ollie. It was really tough. We went skating, then watched the Simpsons and ate popcorn. Pretty much completely awesome. We mostly skated the buildings across the street from the loading dock spot. We started out in the far west lot. I wanted to ollie the little median with some speed and it took a few tries. Ollie was cruising around and doing lots of front 180s. My knee wasn’t feeling as good as it has over the last few days, but it wasn’t bad. We dorked around there for awhile and then went to the other side of the building which has the six stair, some flat to a one stair and the mellow loading dock bank. We were lining out some “stuff” as Ollie would say. We started jumping off the stairs onto our boards, front 180 off the curb then a trick on the bank. I thought jumping off the third stair would be enough, but Ollie upped it to the fourth stair so I had to as well. Took me a couple poses to do it though. Doh. Ollie got a line of jump onto his board, front 180 off, turn around and do a pop shove to fakie on the bank. Sick. I did jump onto my board, 180, halfcab flip on the bank, then tried kick back tail on the curb. Never got the kick back t but it was close. Next up we went to the 2 long flat 1. Ollie beat me to ollie down the 2, back 180 off the 1. Ollie also did front 180 down the 2, b/s halfcab off the 1. Back 180 off the 2, b/s halfcab off the 1. I got front 180 off the 2, f/s halfcab slop off the 1. Almost got switch front 180 off the 2, but couldn’t get enough speed. I wanted to do kickflip off the 2, b/s flip off the 1, but the kickflip came too hard and I didn’t feel like doing it again once I got it. After this we took off. Ollie pushing mongo, leaves blowing around. Super fun sesssion. On the way back to the car I manualled the long manny pad and we both did chinese nollies to manual at the end of the sidewalk. So fun. I did mine after kickflipping up the curb with a bit more speed than normal. Once again, super fun night.
