skate journal: super painful flatground friday suck (march 3, 2017)
Feeling incredibly sore all day at work I met up with Dave at the Blue Skies rink. I had switched back to bulky PJs with Superfeet insoles to try and help the pain. But it was too late. I couldn’t even bend really. If Dave would have been later I would have just left, but he showed up and my stubborn self skated with him. I managed a few terrible kickflips, some incredibly slow fakie flips, a few shoves and bailed a bunch of treflips and nollie treflips. I was in so much pain, I never should have skated. Dave skated pretty good. He had some funny kickflips (photo) and then some good ones. Lots of solid front shoves and a bunch of treflip attempts. Some of which were very close. He’s gonna be legit some day! Ha ha.
