Joslin is becoming one of my favorite skaters because he is such a skate rat. It rules seeing someone so motivated to skate.

Still feeling motivated I met Dave at the dog park for a short one. I quickly realized I should not be skating. My knee was done, I couldn’t ollie or kickflip (although I still beat Dave to a kickflip! ha ha). So I just skated switch a little and somehow trying switch heels didn’t hurt so I just did that for 30 minutes. It was pretty cool actually and a few were the closest I’ve ever gotten. Dave had some nice bigspins, cabs, shoves and tried heelflip for awhile. He couldn’t quite get one. Then we filmed each other doing stand still tricks for all the rage. Well, Dave actually did a trick. I just walked up and flipped the board with my toe. Maybe I’ll post it, but I hate how I walk in it. Ha ha.

Went to Louisville park feeling very motivated even though my left knee had started hurting more. My chiropractor said it didn’t look like anything serious so I went skating. Initially I thought I would not be able to skate at all, any attempt to ollie was met with knee pain and resistance. I should have left, but I’m stubborn. Took a couple runs in the snake run, tried some no ollie tricks on the little ledge, then eventually kind of skated normal. There was a crew of teenagers when I first got there mostly just lurking which was annoying. At least a couple actually skated. I tried a couple lines. Switch noseslide 270 the little ledge, fakie flip on flat, halfcab noseslide the main ledge. Never got a halfcab noseslide even though I got into so many of them. It was weird. Going the other way I tried front 50 shove the main ledge for awhile then gave up to just switch noseslide (going back to fakie was fun and I was getting better at them), switch front 180 on flat then back 50 the tiny ledge going over the corner. It took me forever. I did a few other tricks in between. Nothing special, some ollies over the hip, bean plant on the flat bank, crooks the ledge. But once I finally got the line I left. Oh and of course I accidentally did a 5-0 instead of 50. Oh well.

I’m writing this way after it happened so bear with me. A crew of us assembled at Valmont area. I was first and started on the bank. Jack and Carleigh were next, Fuzz, Dave, Ed, Damian, Jake followed shortly. We were kind of all over the place initially. It was cool seeing everyone skate it some silly street spot differently. Lines there are fun. It’s impossible to remember what everyone was trying. I saw Fuzz and Dave trying manuals. Carleigh no complying the tall curb. Ed with the curb stalls. I don’t know. After awhile I saw Dave doing a beanplant off the little drop and joined him. Then Jack, Fuzz, Dave and I were trying lines in around there. Ollies up the little gap unless you were Jack and then it was heelflips and bigspins trying to end in wallride. I had a fun line of ollie the little gap, bean plant the drop then varial flip to fakie on the bank (although I think I bailed out in the run out). After awhile everyone skated the bank. Jack had a gnarly frontside wallride and a crazy front nose jib (stubborns/null alert). Carleigh with the boardslide down, then adding a kickflip then adding a no comply before it too. Putting the ‘gnar’ in Gnarly Carleigh. Jake got 360 flip to fakie. Dave went over to the manual pads. Ed tail bock and steezy slides. Damian kickflip to fakie. Fuzz did a crazy powerslide to kickflip (stubborns alert). My knee had started hurting in a weird way. It sucked. I kept skating though. Well, I attempted to. I couldn’t get 360 flips to fakie, fakie 360 flips, fakie flip or varial flip. Luckily I was 2-2 on halfcab flips. Rad crew. I had to leave first to go see Bob Dylan.
