Gone Skateboarding?

Really want to go Vivarium, looks so good

Took Lizzy (daughter) to the local indoor this morning. She skated for almost an hour then got her roller boots on and skated for just over an hour. I took my set up so got some flatground in whilst making sure she was ok. First time I’ve seen her properly smiling since her ASD diagnosis last November.

Got a grumble from the wife about skating lots and not decorating. Should be able to fit it all in now I’m not pickling my liver every night…might pop back out later anyhow.

Our house is a state and needs fully decorating haha

Quick hour earlier - again. Daughter in tow on her new roller boots - again.

Got phone out to film, for no real reason really and did some unremarkable stuff but landed a front 180 over the little grey bench first go which was great as I didnt have the legs to try more than once. Need to back 180 it next which will either come easy or be a battle. Hoping the former…Maybe next week.

It was good to get out on saturday. Felt a spark to get out more in the sunshine as its been a long winter.

Always a pleasure @Mike

First proper trundle of the year today. Took things easy (as if I have any other option) on my old Gonzarelli reissue.

Sun shone and I saw a Red Kite, Sparrow Hawk and a few Buzzards all in the space of about 10 minutes.

Take that Bill Oddie.

Out tonight even though yesterdays events (not to mention drama with my kids this week) made me want to stay at home. Ended up having a much better skate than I’d anticipated and my ankle is, whilst not 100%, feeling a lot better. Pretty happy.

Went out today and had fun.

Really struggling to get my fat arse off the ground since mostly skating mini ramps for the last 10 years.

Saw @Dent_Face and the other Nottingham cool guys.

Had a chat with an old friend about how skating was pretty dead in my home town. Called in the local on the way home and there were loads of people out. Was rad. I want chips now.

Rad to see you dude. I’d, shamefully, never skated Rollersnakes before. They have a sick setup going there.

Over the last 2 days, I must have skated for 8 hours or so! What a rad weekend. Spring has sprung.

Skated on Friday, ate shit trying a trick I usually don’t miss, mad wax on the coping, didn’t see that coming, kids don’t know what they’re doing. Half my body still hurts but it’s not that bad.

Had an ok skate the other day, didn’t strain anything or injure myself but later in the day I was wrecked, my knee had blown up and felt like I’d done ligament damage, could barely get up off my seat.

Fast forward to Friday and it was about 70% better so thought I’d try it again but this time take it super easy. Just do laps and pump and maybe the odd slappy for 30 mins.

Nope, knee didn’t like that at all, back to the drawing board. Blew up huge again and in agony. Think I’ll be about for a good month or two at least.

Ouch. Hope you’re gonna be alright soon man.

Twice today with my daughter on her quad skate thingies. Sun morning is sort of a novice session so I just followed her around really. This evening I was tired and lacking a little but she was cruising about on her skates. She now jumping off small ledges on her skates :smile:

Mis-flipped a heel flip on a flatbank and ran the rail of my deck down my inner ankle. Nice!
