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.
