Super Summer Skates!


Awesome morning for me and my new wings.
I had a great time at the park. I did not fire up the hibachi, it was too hot out! I pushed around a few laps, and hung out in the shade next to the deep end of the bowl, back and forth, trying little tricks, laying on the cool cement, and hanging my body over the lip of the pocket.
I stayed for an hour...it felt like much longer. I had a fun time skating, but since the park was still all empty, I got bored...and hot, it was time to swim by 12.
I had a great week skating at the indoor while I worked, although I did get a few more achy parts from trying some new things! After last week's dumb slip on the coping and ensuing ass bruise, I rallied through the healing process quickly and then fell doing a wee backside 180 on the slippery floor. As I tried to save my butt the pain by using my lil hands as shock absorbers I hurt my wrist so now I can't use the thumb side of my hand to grab/turn/lift anything. Last night I was getting kickflips better, popping higher, but I nailed the inside of my sore ankle coming down fakie on a wallride I really think I'll get soon. I had a lot of fun skating with the younger kids, too. I put my jean vest down and we ollied it, just rocking back and forth, trying to ollie, then fakie ollie it on the way back. We all got it eventually.
A really great week!
