Very terrible and sad! I twisted my knee Sunday night and it is all puffed and blue today. Hardly even tweaked it, I swear! Had some guests from Van out at the park. Went for all of three runs. Knee still hurt from ... too long now. Collected a grip of herbs and remedies, dialled up the greens, an called the acupuncturist today, this knee drama is ending. Before summer begins. SO. Not a thing to say about Monday skate night with the yutes. Didn't happen.
Watch this instead. Skatopia , yeahh!

the best
I love what I do.
haha, I was really not looking forward to this round of lessons. One of the higher needs guys from last round had told me that his mom had signed him up for the rest of the year's sessions, but he was over it. And if someone doesn't want to skate, I'm not going to make them. You fall, it hurts. It takes too much focus, motivation, determination, and persistence to learn to skate. You have to want to. Badly.
So I was happy to receive two classes of really motivated kids! It was rad, except for my knee, which I forgot was hurt, and did the 'how to use kneepads' running slide across the box and down the other side that nearly made me cry. Suck it up, yo.
I got three girls who love to skate, My little mini ripper, who skates in tutus and leggings, my tall girl getting taller, and dealing with the weird balance challenge, and my quiet girl who thought "skateboarding is very much fun" after taking some serious bails, is back from Taiwan for more!
I also have a gal in my boys class, and she is my hero. The boys are a riot. They are trying so hard to fly before figuring out walking, and just crashing all over the park. Its funny to me, since after having a few sit down talks about taking our time, and learning the steps, they are still sure they know whats up. I think next class I am going to have to show off a little so they see that I could have something to teach them. Right now they do not believe that.
Anyways, great first day. Hope I get my sticker paper soon.
Sun is shining, and I am out.
