Rolled to Blue Skies after work feeling very arthritic and unmotivated, but needing to do a trick for the OLDFART game. I arrived to a huge puddle in front of the bank making it unskateable and a large puddle in front of the ledge too. I spent some time to get the ledge dry and after about 30 minuets it dried. Warming up I just did kickturns and a few ollies then kickflips. I hucked a few noseslide 270 shoves that were surprisingly close and made me not feel so bad. I probably should have just stuck with trying that trick for the challenge. I hucked switch heels, 360 flips and didn’t land any. Finally started trying front 50s on the ledge which was scary because if the board would have gone over the ledge it would have landed in a swamp. After awhile I got close to kickflip out and setup the phone to film it. Minutes later some whiny kid on a big wheel showed up and rolled over then stepped on my phone. Somehow he didn’t break it and somehow his mom wasn’t upset at me for yelling at him. Then the kid rolled through the huge puddle and dragged water in front of the ledge. I left feeling insanely pissed off. Mostly at myself for going to such a stupid park after work where I should expect toddlers. I might be going on a street only binge for awhile.
