3 JUN: Skateboarding

I went skateboarding (skating) for 2 hours Sunday morning.  My feet, shins, and calves are toast!  My legs and groin are somewhat sore too.

I was able to work a few new skills on Sunday.
  • Pumping in bowls - where you pump your legs as you round the walls of a bowl to develop speed.
  • Ollies - I suck but I can get 1 of 25 or 40 tries
  • Drop in.  I can't drop in off a real ramp or 1/4 pipe, but I was practicing on a small slant.  My problem is committing - just do it and do it fast.  I fight against my instinct to pull back.  I was never scared as late as into my 20s.  But now at 36 (37 in Dec), I've got a few more hangups than I used to.
