skate journal: patheticness (Sept 18, 2013)

Had a bad day at work. Wanted to be alone. Or so I thought. Went to the old Mike’s Camera manny pad, but it seems like the rains from the floods pretty much destroyed that parking lot. Went to a campus, but couldn’t deal with all the students so I left. Ended up at the research center ledge. I waxed it up then tried to skate. That spot is lit really well. It would be fun to do a couple tricks down the hill then pop up the curb, do a ledge trick then go around to the manny pad. I was sucking though. No motivation. No coordination. My arthritis has been sucking lately. It takes a lot of confidence out of me. It’s funny because I had a couple lines that might sound ok on paper (or in html), but I was skating so slow and disengaged. Got fakie bigflip, pop shove, kickflip up the curb, crooks. Also the slowest treflip ever followed by the worst back 50. I left. Argh.
