skate journal: too much pain for the curbs (may 15, 2019)

Posted in Skate Journal on May 17th, 2019 by corpo

On a gorgeous night I went over to the school. My arthritis was raging pretty hard. I started in the Westgates, did a few regular slappies, but the knee pain was just too much. So I switched shoes back to the 379s. It felt better, but still hurt. I got a fakie flip, but couldn’t get another one. Tried a line for a bit of front 5-0, back 180 into the curb cut, fakie bigspin out of the curb cut. Bailed the fakie big one too many times and called it a night.

(setup 8.75″ null valley deck, venture ftc 5.8s, doh dohs bushings (blue 88a barrel boardside one, yellow 92a roadside), spitfire f4 radials 52mm blue/yellow swirl wheels with 3 washers on the inside, new balance numeric 913 westgates b/w size 12 and brown 379s size 12, stock insoles)
(pain level 7/10 in the knees, ankles, wrist)
