Kids

"Can you do a nollie heelflip?" No, kid.
"Can you do a kickflip?" No, kid.
"Oh." Look kid, I can barely do an ollie. Give it a rest.

I bought my skateboard about 4 summers ago when I first saw Spike Jonze's Yeah Right and used it for about 3 weeks. My longboard I use a lot more, but that's just for croozing.

I recently saw this Micheal Jordan Nike commercial which supported ideas I read on alljapaneseallthetime.com, and decided I should not go through life without at least being able to properly land an ollie.


Credit to James for taking this pic. I wanted to capture my shadow, which was just to cumbersome or too hazardous to do myself.
