Had to bring India to ballet after school and since Liz wasn’t home from Florida quite yet Ollie had to come with. He wanted to play basketball, but we didn’t have a ball. I had brought his skateboard though and was able to talk him into the scooter park since we were in north boulder anyway. He was pretty bummed after a bad day at school and for the most part just sat around. He did some more of the flyouts to grass rides, kickflips while holding onto the bike racks, front 180s, lots of intentional falls into the grass. I kind of went flipper nuts on the miniature bank below Ollie. Just squint harder, it’s there. I had a fun little line of f/s flip then b/s flip on the “hip” below. Got fakie bigspin, halfcab flip, kickflips to fakie (with f/s or b/s spins), then started trying 360 flips. Not the varial flip ones, but the full 360 flip in a b/s ollie. It took a long time and Ollie was really wanting to go so I gave it a 5 count. On the 4th one I landed it. But it was really bad. Hands down, not quite rotated all the way. Ollie said “over 40 make!” Since I had one last try anyway I went for it and somehow came up gravy with a fully rotated 360 flip. It’s cool because it’s slightly over 360 flip. It felt great.

On my final night of being Mr Mom I was growing agitated by my lack of freedom and needed to skate. Not that I didn’t get to skate over the weekend, but it was limited and not skating at night is hard for me. So I hit Rampy. The winds were howling which effects my arthritis. It’s a pain. I started by skating the ramp. I was doing ok, but a string of failed back 50s almost resulted in a temper fit. I wanted to do a front tail revert. But I only got a couple front tails. Oh well. I was having fun on flatground too. Got kickflips, treflip and had a loop with a bunch of tricks back to back that hyped me up. I felt like doing flippers and I felt like skating the ramp. And then it hit me, why the hell don’t I do both? So I tried a b/s flip below the coping for quite some time before getting one. I was really hyped. It was well below the coping, but still hard because of how tight Rampy is and how hard setting up is.
