Whoa, Ollie wanted to go skate! I mean it was still my suggestion to go skate, but he was down! We went to the Valmont area. We started at a super mellow bank. Ollie did first T fakie pop shove and after watching me do a no comply bigspin almost landed a no comply. He didn’t get is front foot back on, but for never having tried that trick it was pretty crazy. I tried a little line of nose manny on a weird curb high manny pad that I had to go in an 90 and turn out real quick. Took me awhile. When I didn’t land it I would try nollie f/s flips on the way back and got somewhat close. Then Ollie started doing the coffin run you see above. He would do that to the mellow bank, stand up and try pop shove to fakie. He got it near the end. I started trying a line of front 180 off a loading dock, fakie flip on the downhill and then fakie tre on the bank. I managed to get it although the fakie tre had both hands down. I was most hyped on the fakie flip as it was downhill which was scary for me. Next run I went for was ollie up the loading dock, front 180 on flat, fakie tre. Didn’t get fakie tre. Last line was manual on the sidewalk up top, a fast kickflip (or not so fast depending on your standards) and then a treflip fakie. Didn’t get the treflip. We got back to the car and ollie threw tennis balls into the trunk while I tried treflips over and over until I landed a bad one.
