skate journal: garage messing around with a hurting ankle (dec 6, 2018)
My left ankle/achilles was having a nice arthritis flare up. I went into the garage without many intentions. I did some manuals and stuff. I tried a mixture of shoes to see if they helped at all. Nothing really seemed to matter. I switched between DC Vestrey, 212s and Sucius. Since it was my front foot that hurt I tried nollie/switch flick tricks. Committed to nollie fs flip and got close, but never got both feet on it. Switch f/s flips didn’t feel close.
