And On And On And On And On......

There is that wonderful moment of realization when a skateboarder finally figures out how to ollie. The feeling of accomplishment after hours or days or weeks of trying to figure it out and then having it all of a sudden line up.

I popped my first ollie over a garden hose and will never forget that day. It was a summer evening around 8pm. We were in front of Lance's house. There were a few clouds with a splatter of contrails in the darkening eastern sky. There was also a slight breeze. The sunset about a half hour later, but I still ollied that garden hose well into the night.

It was cool seeing the sparkle in Dax's eye as he realized he can "ollie" over his caterpillar pull toy.
