So the Lincoln City 2012 trip hasn’t been finished yet. We made a stupid trailer yet we still haven’t worked on the actual video. We’ve talked about it. We made shirts and hoodies. We even went to see the Bones Brigade documentary.
The movie was a lot of fun…
We even though about having an excuses for why we didn’t get our video done like the Creature team did. But that didn’t come off either. So… here’s the Creature excuses video and while watching it you can think of us. Because we didn’t have time to make one.
Bad insoles from 2 nameless companies covered up by a pair of good aftermarket ones
With the amount of money that skaters spend on shoes the least you could do is out a decent insole in the shoes. Generally the only way to be comfortable is to tear out the crappy ones that don’t work for after market ones that do. That way even walking feels OK. Thanks for listening…
Three years is a long time not being able to jump off of my right leg very well. In May this year it will be the third anniversary of my knee injury. A complete rupture of the patellar tendon is no joke. It took a year of rehab before I felt comfortable skating and another year to feel mostly normal. But I still couldn’t jump. Three weeks ago I started a short bicycle commute and I think it’s doing wonders. Some weight loss but also knee strength. I noticed last night that I jumped off my board differently and just tried to jump up off the ground and got actual height. So I tried the flatland ollie and to my surprise I could do it. So I taped it for a couple of tries. I am stoked beyond measure to be able to do this again and at 44 getting tricks back is a slow process.
