I haven't skated in over 3 weeks. I hurt my leg really bad. I think I tore my hamstring or something. I still havent gotten it checked out by a doctor or anything. I think its healing but I need to do some physical therepy to make sure it stays strong.
I have compiled all my skate clips from the sessions leading up to Go Skate Day when I injured my leg. Everything happens for a reason, and this reason was probably yet just another lesson about listening to my intuition tell me not to do something.
Go skate day was cool though. There was a contest at one of the ice rinks in the video, and I won a $50 gift card to the skate shop for landing a backside noseblunt on that same step ledge.
It was super hot and humid on go skate day. Everyone else thought it was too hot but since I had been training in Brazil all winter, it was perfect for me.
These Ice Rink skateparks are so good. the cement they use to make the ground is super smooth, but not slippery, and its a type of cement that does not crack in below freezing tempuratures, so it's condition is always really nice.
I have been trying to get my homies to join the online skateboarding community that is Skatehive, but its not easy. The two people who i have gotten to join to make this place more fun are @trevorcarlson and @nagamemnon.
They havent posted since joining. making skatelife posts isnt for everyone, neither are online communities, but you gotta think that every time you post something on instagram, you are kinda participating in an online community there, too.
I want to thank @nagamemnon for filming me get after this ramp to ledge outside the Painter Skatepark one day. Maybe @theheshdotcom will show up on skatehive some day too.
Heres the edit, with music by Madonna. i like that madonna song because it sounds like a 60's psychedelic rock song.
Well, thats gonna be if for my skateboarding posts for a while. The leg is healing but Last time i went out to skate, i was limping again within minutes.
I guess i gotta just focus on other stuff and skateboarding will come back to me, hopefully before it starts to get cold. Untill then ill try to keep Spot-snappin, and working on the website and Gnar World yo!
Cheers!
