Managed to get three sessions at the local kerb during the last few days - been a bit punishing! Been good to get a modicum of street legs back. Made a new one today too - 180 no-comply 5050. Was utterly stinking, but most of my skating is!

Went skating Monday to the new bit at Horsforth near Leeds. No energy sesh but still fun. Saw some people I’ve not seen in ages and landed a disgustingly bad frontside shove after not doing one for ages. Yeah paracetamol

For real. I skated tonight after a couple of nights off and was properly bushed after an hour and started getting a bit spacey and getting in a little lads way so called it quits.
I’m starting to struggle but I don’t know if thats just a phase or if age is catching up faster than expected.

Excellent skate today, my special bar was totally up. Love those days when everything clicks.

You seem to be out a fair bit though? Reckon it’s just regularity at this point. A service skate to keep up used to be every week for me, reckon I’d need at least twice that now. Really suffered in keeping up the enthusiasm and drive after losing the Boneyard.
Also, the two paracetamol. two ibuprofen trick is a godsend!

Yep, I’m 3-4 times per week, between 1-2 hours per session, sometimes longer. Most sessions are quite solid too, so it’ll be skating non-stop - the yoot (read 25-35 year olds!) keep me on my toes haha. I’m just lucky to have an indoor under 15 mins away so totally understandable regarding the Boneyard - I’d likely skate maybe once per week during the summer if that if I didn’t go to my local.

I got out tonight for a few hours and had a good time. Did a frontside nose slide and felt like a big man.
I did do something funny to my hip though. Twisted with my foot on the floor and sort of over rotated it. It felt like a big clunk then it all warm around it. No bruising or anything. And I hadn’t peed my pants either.

An hour or so in Southwold this morning making sure to hit all 30 items I’ve missed on [that Jenken list](https://ukskateforum.co.uk/t/50-things-to-do-in-skateboarding-before-you-quit/5607).
Going to sleep well tonight.

Swept the water of the park, drank beer and listened to music whilst it dried up, did some stunts with @gawkrodger and friends. Bosh.

Looks a great place. I should pop down sometime 👍
Did a couple of hours tonight. Bit of flatground, 50’d the little hubba and I still can’t get out of b/s crooks. Stand on them for a few feet? sure, pop out? Get fucked says my skateboard.

Yeah pretend you’re doing a crack nollie as @tbk11 said and also go faster and have all your weight over the ledge, you really want to sit on that crooked grind otherwise your board is gonna flip when you try to get out of the grind.

@franc @tbk11 - Cheers. I could go a curb and slappy then all day. On ledge? Nope. Speed is fine, lock in is fine, grind fine…

Fun little early doors skate at Newsham this morning.
No idea who they were but a couple of guys were front blunting and smithing rails pre 9 AM.
Also met Barry Wong.
