Trucks and everything?
No, just left my board, not my set up.
Could have left my wheels too, they’re done. Same with the bearings. But either way I have enough here for a new complete including trucks, but well worn in trucks are valuable and need keeping.

Ah - that makes sense.
Did the mellow break in session with new board. Then did a bit with new board and - the horror - new shoes. 440s break in so fast. Happy days until I pulled my back on a nollie 360 shuv 
That’ll go well with the bruised arse and mashed knee/shin. Bedtime I think.

First proper skate in 18 months since hurting my ankle, even got a clip!
Had a steroid injection in my ankle two weeks ago, creating scar tissue to fill in where I chipped a bit of bone off the joint which has been causing me hassle ever since. So nice to be able to ollie again!

Went for skate. Slammed on my wrist on a backside nollie fakie over the tiny hip. Felt sick but no swelling so can’t be broke. Really hurts, can’t grip anything tightly, just a pathetic withery half-grip. Maybe it’ll be a better tomorrow.
Thought no swelling meant more likely to be a break, not less. I’ve got pins in both my wrists from skating. One’s still fucked but that’s another story. Wasn’t any swelling when I broke them. Might be worth getting an x-ray?
urgh I know you’re right. Seems a bit better this morning, at least I can grip. I’m still going to be stubborn though and leave it another day!
Quick morning skate before the park got crowded. It was windy and kinda cold but I was feeling good and filmed a few clips for the sake of it. Love doing that.
Morning skates are what’s up, they make your whole day so much better. Yes.

I took a last-minute decision to go to London for a quick hour at Selfridges but found it booked out for a beginners’ event. Should have checked first!
Magpie is right. I knacked my left wrist, thought I’d broken it given the pain, swelled right up but just a sprain. Four weeks later knacked my right wrist, no swelling at all, clean break through the top of the ulna. That was six weeks ago and it’s still not right…
Why would someone have a full set up ready to go?
Eldest had football training yesterday. It’s in a pretty dull part of town, so decided to take the opportunity and take my board.
Haven’t skated properly in months after going into hibernation awaiting my wife’s surgery and the expected stress and pressure around her recovery.
Almost got rained out, but managed to have a roll around a car park nearby and did a few ollies, did some turns, had a nice time. Scoped out some potential spots to wax up etc.
Feeling motivated again.

Good shit @nav hope Mrs Nav is doing well
Solo one hour skate, tried a trick I’ve been trying for 30 years, no dice. Made up for that recreating a line Rattray did in WFTW. Not a bad way to end the sesh.

Was lucky enough to get a quick roll in at the new park indoor park in Derby. I imagine some heavy shit is going to go off in that bowl in the near future, but it certainly won’t be from me. Joxa was ripping it though!

Yeah, it’s a shame I won’t be getting anywhere near that pool coping 
It’s a lot bigger in person. I was really intimidated by it, especially as the wood is still very fast and the coping super slidey. I’m hoping to spend a long weekend down there at some point and get my vert legs back, but it’s going to be a proper struggle.
