skate journal: research ledge sucking (oct 12, 2014)

Worked all morning. Was finally free to go skate a little and it was raining. Ugh. Kicked a soccer ball with Ollie for awhile in a covered section at the school until the rain stopped. Then went to research center feeling pretty tired. Just a couple days after saying my arthritis has benefitted from my new diet it flared up something fierce. It was pretty chilly out. Hoodie weather. I am as stubborn as it gets and tried to skate through it. Had a couple fun boardslides to start the session. A noseslide or two, one to fakie. Couldn’t get halfcab noseslide, but at least I was getting some poorly popped fakie flips before hand. Crookie grinds went pretty good. Got one back 50 that was kind of an accident. I tried to bail at the last second, but it turned out I was already grinding. I took that as a sign that I did not belong on my skateboard and left very bummed. Arthritis truly sucks.
