Had back to school night at the kids middle school. Got out a little earlier then I thought we would and Ollie said he wanted to skate. So a little after 8pm we went to the Louisvill park. CJ, Brian and Darin were in the hockey rink skating all kinds of boxes, rails and stuff. Ollie didn’t want to skate it though because he said everything required an ollie. Geez Ollie, learn to ollie higher already. Ha. Off to the park with the rollerbladers and bmx’ers. The first thing I did was try to ollie up onto the little manny pad and it resulted in my falling with the board not even making it up onto the ledge with me. It was at that point I wanted to throw the DCs away and leave. But I was with Ollie. Gotta be somewhat positive at least. We skated for awhile. He had fun, cruised around, pushed mongo and flowed around the way he does. It was cool. He did a ton of front 180s off the tall part of the ledge. Some were really good. I was unable to front 50 the tall part of the ledge, unable to back 50 front 180 the little ledge, unable to front 50 the qp, etc. The only good was doing crooks and a kickflip to fakie. These shoes will not be on my feet for skating again.
