skate journal: heel was a bit better, but not much (Oct 4, 2009)
Started my day off feeling better. Heel felt good, side felt ok. Went outside to skate and realize I hadn’t put my shoe on yet so the heel started hurting more. Ugh. Side went kinda numb too. Man getting old sucks. I could barely kickflip to save my life. I dorked around in front of the house for awhile and posed out switch f/s flips which still somehow feel doable. Everyone showed up and after a viewing of Inhabitants we went over to Valmont because Carleigh wanted to get a noseslide shove. I wasn’t complaining as I had a trick for that spot on my list. Lists lists lists, film film film. Looking forward to a couple weeks from now when there is no filming again. But it is what it is and it’s almost kinda cool trying to get everything on film. I started trying front 180 fakie 50 bigspin out and eventually landed a couple. Lazer ski’d off the dock. Fuzz did 20 warmup tricks I would film for my part. Neil got a lipslide. Carleigh did not get the noseslide shove. Then we went over to this bush gap and Brian ollied it. It was ridiculous. That’s one of the list for me and one off the list for Brian. Rad.
