skate journal: I skated again whewoo. (Aug 24, 2009)

After running some boards up to MRKT I stopped by the new Spring Valley park with new shoes, a new deck AND new wheels.  Ultimate poser. With the fear of falling still pretty high I kept it mellow and just kinda skated slow mellow. Not much new there really right? I did a bunch of kickflips on flat and had to force myself to not clinch my fist to protect my thumb. Pretty funny. I got a couple board slide to nose manuals on the potato chip, but didn’t get the nosegrind out I wanted. Other then that it was a pretty basic pose fest for me. Felt really good to skate though and yes, even just one week off is too much.
