Had a tough week, my arthritis came back. Not debilitating like last fall, but bad enough to prevent me from skating or having much of any energy. It seems like this is a response to being sick awhile ago. So that’s probably how my life will be for awhile. Anytime I get sick I can expect an arthritis flare up a few days after. Ugh, but, could be a lot worse.

Anyways, I met Jack and Bernie at Casey Middle School and we dorked around on these rocks for awhile. All I did was an axle stall. Bernie is just starting to skate again after recovering from a knee injury so he’s keeping it mellow and having fun. After a bit we went on to film Jack work on hot pocketing his back foot. He succeeded. Ouch.

We went to this gem of a spot next. I spent about an hour trying nose manual front 180 out on the curb. I came close, but did not succeed. I’m gonna partly blame the excessive wheel bite bumming me out. Bernie did some neat manual tricks and giggled a bunch and ruled it. Carleigh showed up and also had to keep it mellow due to her back. Man, we are geezers. Ha, Jack isn’t though and he put together a rad little line which I pointed the camera at without even shaking it too much.
