After a fun day of hanging with the family, a couple naps and some cleaning I went out for a quick solo session around the golden hour. I pushed around the parking lot a few times for warmup (once switch), did a couple ollies up curbs. I’m still so hesitant to ollie initially in fear of knee pain. But the knee brace seems to be working so far. I was sucking really bad for awhile. Really really bad. It was depressing. But after awhile I started at least trying harder tricks. Sometimes that’s all I need. I had a line going I was trying. Back crooks the little part of the ledge, front smith stall kickflip out on the curb then tailslide. The crooks started out really bad, but after awhile I was doing them pretty good for me. I never got the smith kickflip out, but I did land on it a few times. I never got a tailslide on the ledge either. I did get one front noseslide to fakie which felt good even though I didn’t slide it much and pivoted the landing like champ. I posed some front smith grinds, landed on nollie varial flip and got a really bad treflip with all hands on the ground. My arthritis didn’t feel very good and flip tricks still hurt. Ugh. It seems to help if I dress warm and sweat it out. Kickflips feel different. It might be because the knee brace sets my kneecap a certain way. Kind of feels like I’m relearning them and mobbing them a little. Great. The only good that can come from that is if I somehow lose the annoying reverse superman I do when I kickflip. Oh well, I skated hard, tried some stuff I don’t normally do and that feels okay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
