Another long day. Hung out with the kids for awhile and started to feel kind of weird. Took a nap and woke up feeling pretty good. I figured I was just tired from a kind of late and fun night of Cornhole at Fuzz’s. Ollie was down to come skate with Neil and I so after a couple Louisville spots didn’t work out we ended up at the school near Cherryvale and Baseline. The last time I went to this school I rolled my ankle on a nollie down the little three stair in the back. Ugh, that was years ago though. In the front now there are some ok ledges, good flatground and a curb. I was set! There is a four stair with no runway too and Ollie spent most of his time jumping from the top onto his board at the bottom then doing front 180s off the curb cut. I got boardslides right away and lots of ollies/180s up/off the curb. Having a curb around to do stuff up/down is so fun. Neil was having a really off day. It took him at least 15 tries to get a boardslide. Wow. He did manage a really good wallie though. I was having fun lining stuff out. I got back 180 up the curb, halfcab noseslide, kickflip off the curb. Also got a b/s flip up the curb, a really bad frontside noseslide, and some crooks that felt like noseslides. Neil and Ollie were bored, I could have probably skated there forever, but we went around to the back. The same stuff was there, but there is a new parking block plastic structure that is fun for boardslides. Neil couldn’t get the pop out part which surprised me, he was really bumming on his skating. It sucks when you get in the funk. I ollied up the 3 stair on the first pass and did a little line of boardslide then front 180 the three stair. Ollie firecrackered and ollie’d the 3 stair. I had the jockish goal to get five tricks down it, but didn’t think I was actually pass that. I got front 180, early grab, front shove took a bit, switch front 180 (harder then I thought it would be), kickflip then started hucking b/s flip. I’ve never done b/s flip off three before, two was the previous record on my 37th birthday. Wow I suck! Anyways, I committed pretty quick and after about 20 tries I rolled away from one all straight legged and stoked. The stoke wouldn’t last long though as I was broadsided with the flu bigtime after that. Ugh.

It was India’s birthday party. So we had to prepare for lots of middle school girls coming over and then total chaos for a few hours. It ended up not being quite as dramatic as I would have thought, but that allowed us adults so sip a few beers in the backyard and eat cake. I had taken a quick nap, but was still feeling pretty bad from the beer, birthday cake when I went to the manual pad as the sun had started to set. It took Carleigh awhile to show up, but I was having fun just doing the basics. I didn’t do much. I failed at kickflip manual and nose manual front shove out as well as fakie bigspin manul. I kind of tried nose manual nollie tre out, but that will never happen. I don’t think I really landed anything. See Fuzz, I just try tricks, I don’t land them. I tried a few 360 flips up the curb, but failed at that too. Carleigh had some good kickflips and got a manny. We didn’t have long, it was fun though.
