skate journal: short dog park session realizing my knee is done (oct 26, 2023)
After work felt motivated to skate on a cool and cloudy day. My left knee didn’t feel good, but I thought it would loosen up again, nope. Basically hucked a few f/s halfcab boardslides on the skelly concrete tall curb and then tried to do f/s halfcab noseslides on the little ledge followed by nollie back tail on the bench. Never got the nollie back tail after. Doh. Hucked a few random tricks like fakie lazer that I need to try more because for some reason it seems doable. Anyway, the left knee pain was too much and luckily it started misting so I had no choice but to stop. Hopefully it’s not too long, but I’m not skating again until my knee pain and swelling goes down.
