Feeling lazy and run down on a Saturday I met up with Jack and Carleigh at India’s dorm on a very nice day. There were some cars and lots of snow around limiting the spot some. We mostly did tricks off the little drop. Well, Jack and Carleigh did “tricks”, I just did ollies. I was wearing some new shoes. Lakai Sheffields. They are very comfy and I have high hopes for them. Jack rattled off lots of tricks. Kickflip, shoves, varial heel, hardflip, impossible, cab, fakie ollie, no comply 180, etc, etc. The crack nollie heel was first try on film. Funny thing is I thought he was gonna go the other way after the land so that’s why I’m so far away. Carleigh got kickflip and pop shove, I just didn’t happen to have the phone filming for those. She also did 180s. I had a couple lines that sound okay on paper, but luckily were not filmed. Ollie off the drop, kickflip axle stall a step, nose manual. Going the other way a terrible f/s halfcab flip then manual then a sketchy ollie up where we were ollieing down. Jack also did the crack nollie tre which is insane. Shortly after that Ella broke through here chain and harness to chase a squirrel. It was insane. I kind of lost interest in the area and went over to the nearby 2-3 and did the firecracker then ollie. It was weird how scared I was to ollie the 3. I need to put some thicker insoles in these shoes I think. Anyway, fun mellow day. Jack had cracked his board so we left. I did a slappy crook on the meetup curb and we was out.

On a super nice Friday I skipped out for a lunch break. The skatepark was kinda wet and had some scooter kids, so I chose the more dry hockey rink. I was incredibly sore when I started and almost called it after taking so long to get a kickflip. I went on to skate slow and without confidence for an hour. It was so nice out it made up for the sucking. I came close to nollie tre. Landed terrible heelflip and 360 flip. I really hate these shoes and plan on retiring them.
