On a lazy Friday night I went out into the garage for a minimum. Knees were still burning. Did a few basic manuals on the sheet of wood.

Dorked around in front of my house for a bit while waiting for Rob. It became apparent quickly that my legs were aching. It was 55 degrees, but a huge cold front was coming and my arthritis let me know about it. I could hardly bend my knees, they hurt so bad. Rob came and we went to the research ledge. It was quite windy there and there was a bunch of gravel near the ledge. Oh, the joys of winter skating. We went down the hill a few times doing little powerslides and stuff. My knees hurt to bad that even bending down for powerslides hurt. Luckily I’m stubborn and kept skating. We hit the top area for a bit. Rob did a far manual or two. He had a line of ollie up the curb, wallie nollie the wall then back 180 off. As well as the line above. I got a line of switch 180 up the curb, wallie nollie, back 180 off the curb. All done terribly. Tried to no comply up like Rob, but wasn’t committing right. Then we hit the ledge for a bit. Rob did some good boardslide pop outs. I got noseslide to fakie and crooks. Couldn’t do halfcab noseslide or back 50. Winter sucks.
