Skating again... I could get used to this..

Wahoo...again I get to skate. I am feeling realy good about how long I will be able to keep this up. The only thing that really holds me back when skating is the same thing that has always held me back..fear. But I am even overcoming that to do things I was never able to do or attempt even in my teenage years...weird.


Burt didnt show this time..I can t remember if he said he was going to a comic convention this weekend or what...


It's nice going at 10 or 11 because the really good people havent gotten tothe park yet and I can feel good about what I am doing...even when they do show I still have a great time. With everything going on in my life any second of skating I get in is wonderful. I doubt Ill get back to every day skating again but once a week would be great.


I got my confidence up on the mini again and disasters and going over the spine feel easy like they did at the Radnor park. the one thing that is odd is that Radnor had this supper smooth coating over the blacktop so you really didnt have to worry about losing speed.


Radnor also had a nice little curved jump ramp that was so much fon to ollie off. Oaks has big straight rams that put you really high to start off and no little curve that I was use to. Its still fun to do Old School method airs off of.


I did a couple "to-tail" spine transfers and maybe next time Ill get the board slide transfers going again. The one thing Radnor didnt have was the cool little fun box that you can ollie over. It is really easy to ollie over these I just havent yet done it again... man I have to get Burt down to FDR its something that any skater in the area should not miss...
