Esk8 confessional

100 posts were merged into an existing topic: Welcome to Derail Jail

Haven’t done much since surgery on Monday. Like, have only been out of the house to grab something out of my car at night.

Got my shit together and got some decent sleep to wake up today to be able to skate most of it.

It’s motherfucking 15F and snowing. Under 32F the entire week it looks like.

Fuck Ohio. I’m wrapping derp arm in something and skating tomorrow.

Man today is shit. The wind penetrates all of my layers plus one.

Just snow if you’re going to be annoyingly cold.

I dripped a metric fuck ton of green lock tight in new bearings at Barrett junction and nothing bad happened. I had time to change them that night but didn’t.

I have a confession. Sometimes I grab my dirty TB110’s and squeeze 'em just to feel the sweet urethane flexing.

Then I go wash my filthy whore hands in the sink…

Vesc 75/300 x 4 have been sitting my cart for 2 months because I am waiting for a certain news
Event to happen. Skatan forgive me, I do wish the U.K. the best.

For penance, I’ll continue to live under the rule of a man-child dunce.
