My arthritis has been really bad the last few days. My right ankle was pretty locked up. I was kinda bored and went out and swept/mopped Rampy then decided to hang up some boards I’ve been meaning to hang up. I started with the Lee Bender/Dinosaur Jr boards then grabbed some of my old favorites from the Null pile. During the process I decided I wanted to try skating and Carleigh wanted in. Neither of us exactly ripped it, but there was some highlights for us. Carleigh put down quite a few front slashers which are new for her. Almost got a line of feeble, feeble fakie then fakie feebles. That would have been pretty cool. For some reason she struggled with front d’s though. My highlight would be a first try front d to sugarcane like I’ve had the trick for years. I was unable to land it again though. Doh. I slammed pretty hard on a front feeble attempt and that trick felt foreign the rest of the night too. I put together a little line of back 50, back 50 fakie, tailstall, front smith, rock fakie, fakie hurricane, rock fakie, fakie pivot fakie. At the end I tried front tails for awhile and failed then backsmiths and did one that I wasn’t sure about, but Carleigh said it counted so we wrapped it up. Fun night, thanks for skating Carl.
