Met up with Dean after a long saturday of trying to get stuff done, but failing. We met at Valmont. My knee felt pretty good and I was able to ollie up curbs without pain. I went nuts, just ollieing like crazy, trying manuals, etc. About 10 minutes of that and boom, intense pain in the knee. Ugh. Pushing doesn’t hurt it so i just cruised around while Dean did some manuals. Then he went over to the ledge so I folled. Ollies still hurt (bad) so I just did switch flip attempts over and over and over. Some were close. None hurt. After awhile I noticed that my knee was feeling better so I skated “for real” for a bit. I got a line of crooked jib grind, 360 flip 5 point landing (4 wheels and one hand). I did a few front tails without much slide and a front 5-0 shove out. Dean almost got a sick line of fakie ollie off the early part of the kicker then quick into frontside halfcab to front noseslide. Get that Dean! Happy I was able to skate after an hour of pain, but I’m wondering if I’m doing more damage then good.
