Jake and I went to the Louisville park on a crisp, but nice night. Bikers were in the snake run and after a few cruises around doing nothing I noticed Jake headed to the deep pool and we ended up skating that for awhile. Jake killed it as usual. Backside grinds around the corner, front rock, back rock (both decked), maybe even a front 5-0 in the shallow. Jake was surprised that I landed a back rock in the shallow and even offered a beer for landing it. Unfortunately I would lose it later on by not landing a front 50. Anyways I had a fun run going with a carve in the deep end followed by a f\/s carve in the shallow and managed a scratch grind in the shallow at one point. We moved on to the street area where I had a lot of fun grinding around a corner and then not ollieing. Jake front 50’d the hubba in a few tries then worked on front 5-0 and put it down. So sick. I tried a few ollies here and there and my knee worked, but I can’t describe how bad it hurt. Ugh. Then I started trying front 50s on a qpipe for awhile and took so long to land it that it wasn’t fun.Then we went over to the hockey rink. \u00a0Jake did like an eight trick line with a bunch of 180s, fakie flip, kickflip and tried to end it with a treflip. \u00a0I cruised around and did a few no complies and they felt ok. \u00a0Ollieing still hurt and I settled in to kickflips. \u00a0Over and over I wanted to land them again. \u00a0It’s funny I’ve only been hurt for like a week but I feel like a bruise shouldn’t hold me back as bad as it has. \u00a0Especially after seeing how badly some of my friends fall and don’t complain. \u00a0But it hurt like hell and I just wanted to do 5 kickflips in a row. \u00a0It took awhile but I finally did. \u00a0The knee somewhat loosened up, but ended up stinging in pain the rest of the night. \u00a0Ugh. \u00a0It feels like I only have a few more days of using the knee as an excuse. \u00a0At least I hope so. \u00a0I only felt like I was in my 60s today. \u00a0That’s way better than the 80s I guess.To all my fans out there (yes I’m joking) I apologize for the depressing updates. \u00a0I get bummed out on injuries real quick. \u00a0It hurts like hell to ollie, but tranny really doesn’t. \u00a0I guess that’s why so many old skaters stop skating street. \u00a0Hopefully I’m not there yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
