Gone Skateboarding?

Ahh no. Not tried my legs since last week. Went for a walk the other night and it hurt. Mine feels like its got absolutely no strength in it at the minute.

Busy afternoon doing the front garden in the sun but managed to get out from 17:30 and kept going for 3 hours by which time I was absolutely done. A really, really productive, positive and fun skate for me personally. Stoked.

Good day at the Raemers jam at New Bird yesterday. Multiple hammers being um hammered. Managed to shoot a couple of photos. Nearly didn’t go. Got myself a new Lost Art tee and bumped into a buch of people I knew. Didnt really skate as my hip still didn’t feel quite right.

Start of a week off now so went down the DIY.
Am there now, just had a quick skate hip seems to be holding up OK so far.

Edit : figured I might as well upload a couple of pics.

Working on crooks today - think the last time I did one of these was about 2018, so stoked I managed to get at least one that wasn’t completely sketch. Also the 6th time I’ve been skating since start of March, which is 1 more than the entirety of last year.

Awesome!

Do as many crooks as you can, you’ll have solid ones soon. They always feel good.

Skated for a couple of hours this evening, mainly hacking about on flat whilst my daughter chilled with the rollerboot crew.

Landed a double varial flip for the shits and the giggles, first and likely last one ever. It’s a matter of staying tasteful. Landed a few other bits that I’d neglected for some time which was nice.

Since the suns returned I’ve started skating a curb for 20 minutes everyday on my lunch break and it’s just the right amount of time to have fun before breaking a sweat or getting locked into a battle. There’s always other people there too which is nice

Ah yeah, I used to do that during my lunch break when I was working in Geneva, perfect floor and a DIY ledge seconds away from my workplace, good memories.

Had a quick skate last night, found a new line at this small local park I love, always a good feeling.

Hour and a half down the local. There was a weird stormy front coming through when I got there - likely the same weather that hit you @KeithBeef ! Got smacked on my left ankle by a stray set up just after arriving, less than a week from my right ankle getting smacked. Maybe the young ones are trying to tell Grandad something? :smile:

Finally got a 3 trick line in quick succession, clean enough with no push on flat - half cab, ollie, b/s 180 - on flat that I want to take to the 3_3_3 at Stoke Plaza. Yes, it is basic but as long as I can get it done down the steps I’ll be happy. Almost stuck a varial heel on the flat bank, maybe next time.
