skate journal: more rain and parking garage pain (may 23, 2015 day 139)
I’m getting so sick of the rain and have hit a wall with parking garages. It’s May, I want to be skating outside! Ollie and I met Rob at Blank Curbs. He was already doing pivot shoves on the curb. Rob was doing variations of the run above. He also did manny around the corner shove out and manny around the corner back 180 out. Ollie’s line above pretty much covers what he did. I had a line with a kickflip over Ollie’s board, ollie onto the curved sidewalk from the opposite side of Rob, little gap to front tail stall with a shove out.
Then we went to the other garage across the way. Rob and I did some slappy crooks. Rob had some rad lines with ollie up the curb then ride into the abyss, back 50s on the red median and bean plants over parking blocks. I was kinda lazy then started trying the run above. Well I was trying it with a kickflip to fakie first, then decided to just kickflip on and ride into the abyss. I’ve rode down that thing a bunch of times before without problems, but this one totally caught me off guard. I slammed. I sprained both wrists, but somehow the right one get it bad. I don’t even get it. We stopped then as Ollie was bored and drove through the puddle a few times.
