thrasher

I'm injured. Feel off my silly wooden toy and smased up my left knee. Bad news. So I'll be out a bit, not long, but a couple weeks or so. It already feels much better and the range of motion has come back a great deal so people will stop asing me "Are you hurt?" I was getting tired of answering the question to people in the office. "Nope, not hurt, I just thinking limping around makes me look cool." Then of course you get the randoms telling me I'm old and maybe I should think about stopping the skateboard riding. Um, thanks but you might as well tell me to stop breathing.
I quit for almost six years when I moved to AZ and when I started again I thought that somewhere down the road I'd hang it up again. I really don't think that's the case anymore. It's pretty much a lock that I'll be rolling until I'm dead.

So I bought myself some new pads. in order to celebrate me riding for the rest of my life.

I'm looking at picking up a slalom board. I never really tried it but I'm thinking it could be a whole hell of a lot of fun.
I keep looking at this one.

I need to pull the trigger on it then make mothra & handsomejoe pick up some slalom boards so we can have Saturday night races out front of jupes.

Well that's it and it's more then I written in here in months so I have a good feeling this entry is going to hang around awhile.
I leave you with a photo of Kevin Staab taken by my friend Lester.









oh and the beard is gone, it lasted one month and two weeks
