Repossessed to skate – Session 36

Repossessed to skate is the name I’ve given my activity of learning and practising how to skate (again), specifically in the context of ongoing sessions at local skateparks. I’m relearning how to skate so I can show my kids how to skate.

Repossessed to skate is about having fun, learning new-old tricks that interest me and persevering.

The ramp was in good condition. Again, strong fakies, kick turns and transfers over the roll-in to the other side of the ramp, but still below the coping. Still can’t commit to the drop-in. Another drop-in-dilemma, but I’m now less anxious. Just relaxed and enjoyed skating each transition in a fun low-key style.

The ramp was in pretty good condition. It only required a quick sweep before it was suitable for skating. Strong fakies, kick turns and transfers over the roll-in to the other side of the ramp, but still below the coping. Once again I thought I was ready to drop-in. Walked up the platform, placed my tail on the coping but chickened-out. No good. I call this the drop-in-dilemma.

Strong fakies and kick turns, but still below the coping. Once again I thought I was ready to drop-in. Walked up the platform, placed my tail on the coping but chickened-out. Just like yesterday. No good.
