I’m not sure if it’s the antibiotics I’m taking, the turmeric supplements, the arthritis drug or the large amount of ibuprofen I’m taking, but it’s taken it’s toll on my stomach. I’ve had the shits for days. It’s not fun. Hoping it would leave me alone for awhile I attempted skating. Carleigh and I met Dean, Jack, Fuzz and John at Crisis. Then Carleigh and I took the uncool car to northGLEN where we skated for awhile before the cool car showed up. Skating was awesome. For me I did a few ollie tricks. Got a boardslide and noseslide on the ledge. Tried a few noseslide 270 shoves, but didn’t get too close. John, Fuzz and I did miniramp lines on the narrow short qp and the flat bank. I find it pretty funny that John struggles with front 5-0s when he’s so good at everything else. Fuzz had some long front 5-0s and almost did front 5-0 to switch crooks. My best was a front d on the qp then a front 50 on the bank. Might have done front feeble on the bank too, but I slid out a few times. Jack was pretty much skating as good as he ever has. So in other words he was ripping and smiling too. I forget the lines, but tricks like crooks transfer the flat bar then back tail the ledge. Some 270s out too though and a first try crooks 270 shove out. Carleigh was doing ollies over the hip mixed in with a couple hang ups and slams. Ouch. Dean was eating a sub for awhile then cruising around. He committed to the somewhat downhill flat bar near the top, but him and John were unable to get it. I wanted in on it, but decided to pass on ollies and started cruising around the park trying not to ollie. Kind of hard to do there. I struggled with front tails on the little bank near the front of the park. Made me realize that I’m now at five months since I’ve been able to skate 100%. Wow, that’s a minute. Carleigh was trying kickflips up the euro. John was wondering how big it was. Jack said it was easy, I said it looked hard. Ha. John did it first try though. Jack had some monster b/s ollies over the hip. Carleigh almost tailsid the whole darn thing. We skated the big bowl for a bit. Dean had some good carves. Carleigh was getting skate coached from John on feeble grinds and posed up some grinds that were “a whole tile long” (John was saying how impressive that was when each tile is about 1″ long? ha he meant a section of pool block). John did some mean feeble grinds. Fuzz did back d fakie. Wowsers. Around now my ankles had started hurting pretty good (arthritis) so I sat down. Everyone else did flip tricks and stuff into the mellow bank. Man I wanted in on that session so bad. Argh. Fuzz did fakie flip first t. John did front shove. Dean fakie ollie. Carleigh nollie b/s and f/s halfcab. Jack first try tre. Some one footed dorking went down. John wins that with the 360 flip one foot then back bigspin to one foot front nose down the hubba. So funny. Jack tried front noses down the hubba. A few bails, slide outs, a head bonk and then he had them bolts every try. So sick. The lights shut off then we really dorked out with some sit down rides. Hilariously fun. It’s so slippery there so the speed wobbles would result in some funny slide outs. Dean killed it out the gates. It cracked me up that Fuzz may have struggled the most. Good thing he was never pro for sit down skating. Fun night. Hyped to skate with friends. Still miss flip tricks/ollies/ledges/ollies/flip tricks/flip tricks/flip tricks.
