Just got back from a good session at the Exhibition Skate Park. Mike and I were working on frontside 180 ollies again. We were dropping in to try and take enough speed to the opposite wall to get above the coping. It was kinda working, but neither of us could stick the landing when we got up around the top.
Right near the end I landed one that was fairly high. Mal filmed it... I really need to sort myself some web space so that I can put some short clips on here. Something clicked and I felt like I could get higher (all relative remember). I think I started to consciously ollie upwards... something to think about next time.
Everyone was packing up ready to go and I was still running back up the wall to drop in again - "one more go". It was a good session.
One bad thing though: quite a few times when I lost the board it came back down the transition straight into my ankle... it is well swolen. Also I need to get myself some decent pads - the naff ones that I've got are way too small. Right now I'm slamming way too often not to wear them :-)
