skate journal: depression arthritis session (june 19, 2013)

Posted in Skate Journal on June 21st, 2013 by corpo

My arthritis has gotten bad again. It makes my whole legs numb. I tried to skate with Ollie on campus, but basically I couldn’t. Ollie was hyped and skating hard. Had a nice front board transfer on a parking block. Showed me up with the tall ledge drop to shorter ledge near the tunnel to the hill. I was going to do it until some kook stopped and watched and said “Oh the little guy did it, you can do it!” I tried to ollie a weird gap for awhile over a tiny ledge while Ollie ollied a 3 stair behind the theater. That was about the extent of the session. I went home and cried. I was really hoping this would never happen again.
