I got my uzi back.

There is no real reason for the title other than that I have been listening to lost of Wu Tang lately. The other thing I've been doing a lot of lately is ollieing. Wow, that is a word that doesn't conjugate well. So yeah, as part of my summer project, I have been trying to get my ollie back up to par. I started out with the traditional way of doing things. In other words, I just picked random things from around my house and tried to ollie over them first. It worked out ok until the milk basket took me out a couple of good times. The two things that hold back my ollie are distance and getting my back truck up. The two are also related of course. So after I got the milk basket, I decided I wanted to try something a bit more safe and comfortable. So, after googling around a bit I decided to make a basic ollie bar. I costs less than 15 bucks and it seems to work quite well. When I bonk it, the bar just falls down so that I don't end up having to run out or trip over something (like a plastic slippery milk crate). So with the bar, I but in screws so that it could reach up to 20 inches. To my own surprise, I was able to get a few ollies over it. I'm still working on consistency, but overall I think I've made some great progress.
