After a day of rest and trying basically everything to reduce my knee pain I felt a little better. Warming up went alright. The intense knee pain wasn’t there. Eric showed, he heelflipped a parking block second try. I was still timid of pain, but I got a lot of my normal basics there. I had put the Nike SB insoles in again and had a bigger right shoe, new left shoe (yes I hope this confuses you). I was happy that I got on the cinder block ledges pretty easily, front 50 and front 50 shove. Eric had front and back 50s, front 5-0, front tail. We both got crooks. My flip tricks went alright. Kickflip, fakie flip, halfcab flip, b/s flip, f/s halfcab flip, fakie bigflip. Tried a few tres, but not really. Eric had a back heel. Another dude was there charging and slamming really hard. He f/s flipped off the kicker over the barrier so good and I tried to get his back with an ollie. I almost had it, but couldn’t really handle the impact and it hurt my knee some. I took too long to get a line of heelflip, slappy front crook, back 50 over the corner of the little guy. I hucked some at the end with some slow kick back 50s, switch front nose shove, but didn’t get either. I wasn’t in as much pain, but it was there and keeping me timid and unable to progress so I ended up leaving. It sucks hurting so much, makes it really hard to enjoy and try hard.
