After a run to Crisis and some Subway, Ollie decided he’d rather not hang out drinking beer and smoking and decided we should go skating. Ha. We went by Broomfield park, but it was crowded so we went to Lafayette. Which was not crowded at all. I was tired and sore. Do I need to even say that anymore? I’m always tired and sore. It’s one of the perks of getting older. While in the warm up stage Ollie said “I had a dream I did a fakie 360 shove” so he started trying them and got so close. We just kinda cruised the manny pad, mini section for awhile. I felt like trying some tricks up/down the manny pad. Most weren’t even worth mentioning, but the front 180 up switch-no-pop-back 180 down felt rad. I did a bunch of 3 flips on flat to make me not worry about the high trucks as much. Ollie was doing lots of back 180’s off the manny pad and ollieing off the little qp above. He was following me at one point so I said “do the same trick as me!” and front 180’d it. He was saying “I can’t do that” in the air, but landed it way better then me. Later on I wanted a clip for the blog and suggested he do the 180 again, but he couldn’t. Ha. We skated the flow bowl for awhile. I really like how the Ventures turn versus the skittish Thunders. I had some back 50s and took too long to do a rock fakie. Ollie dropped in and did some good carves in between mongo pushes. He rules. At one point later on I rolled by him and he said “Bonjour monsieur”. Totally cracked me up. Near the end I failed to nose manny the manny pad and then ate shit so bad on a front 50. Ugh. Ollie made up for it by doing the rock rock fakie.
