Wasn’t planning on stopping by the Fairplay park on the way to my Mom’s, but Ollie requested it so I couldn’t say no. We arrived to Zeke cranked up on a boombox and only a few people at the park. One pool only dude, two mongo pushers (besides Ollie) and one dude that had a good ollie. The perimeter of that park has some fun stuff. It’s not perfect, but perfection is boring. Just ask PRod. Ha. The sun was blinding in spots and I definitely didn’t want to skate the bowl until the sun factor was eliminated. Ollie was doing 180’s off the kicker pretty quick, pushing mongo around the park, frontside kickturn over the rock qp, roll into the little brick qp, front board transfer the bank to curb, manual the top of the hip, fakie shoves on flat, firecracker the 3 stair and would not let us leave when we were supposed to go. My legs were feeling really arthritic so I mostly kept it mellow. Had fun on the brick coping qp which is the weirdest coping ever because you have to ollie into it. Did front tail, front smith and almost a kick back pivot. On the bank to curb when for kick back pivot and got kick back smith. I’ll take it! Ha. Tried a few front smith stalls to kickflip out. Kinda wish I would have tried that more. Took quite a few runs in the bowl. I can only drop in on the mellowest spot there. I’m such a pansy. Almost got a grind on the 7 section though. Last thing I did that felt good was a front lip on the bank to curb. Then it was back to driving.
