skate journal: brief southern hills suck (jan 22, 2017 day 13)
Went to Southern Hills somewhat early wanting to get some skating in before I might turn into filmer Glen. I swept up a bit again. Then went on to suck. It’s so hard to skate during an arthritis flare up. I should just skate transition, it’s easier on me. But I really want to get better at ledges this year. I got some noseslides and crooks. That’s it. Tried a line of noseslide, heelflip, crooks for awhile. Never got all of them. Got pretty frustrated. Found out that people weren’t going to meet up anyway so went to Denver to spend more money on trucks I don’t truly need.
