826CHI Volunteer Photo Book: My World Project - Part 2: OLLIES AND KICKBACKS
OLLIES AND KICKBACKS, Photo and Story by Lucas Gilbert
She lands with one foot placed on the board and one foot off. The one foot still in place stays in motion on the skateboard, causing her to do a distorted split and to scream.
She slowly recovers and we both walk forward, past the playground bursting with joy.
It smells like spirit and sounds like the laughter of many children.
We begin to skateboard again, repeatedly practicing the same motion, perfecting our ollies, kickbacks, whatever our legs manage to do.
