My “gift” to Liz on Mother’s Day was a day of half-assed cleaning. While some laundry was drying I went out front and skated. I had Heavy Blanket going in my ears and it got me hyped quick. Had a quick line of f/s 180, fakie flip, f/s halfcab flip (landed at 90 then tic tac’d straight. argh. It was first try though so I left it alone). I tried to skate a bit faster than normal and found a way to ollie this little 5 foot crack to crack gap to start my runs out one way. Ollie the “gap”, kickflip on flat, nollie tre. I ate shit on a kickflip so bad. I was hyped though because I was actually going fast enough that landing wrong resulted in a slam rather then the typical Glennie walk out. Never got close to the nollie tre. Another line I tried was fakie bigflip, front shove, treflip. Never put these all together. Tried a bunch of nollie f/s flips and didn’t get as close as the last time I tried. Had another run going of no comply front shove, heelflip, nollie tre. Not close on the nollie tre. Skated about an hour. Had a blast. Halfway through Ollie came out of the house and went and shot hoops by himself at the school. It hyped me up so much because he normally only does stuff with me so it was so cool to see him over there by himself and not making me feel like a bad parent skateboarding instead of playing basketball (How funny is that?).
