	Yeah thats right, the little one is finally moving up in the skate world. I dropped in the deep end! Woo-hoo! Yeah, noone was there and I had my lame egg crate. Which I'm sure did nothing in reality but was my security blanket. I figured I had to do it then so I could look stupid in my own privacy. I stepped up and when I was on the coping, kinda figured out that the crate would go in with me so I just went. And DID it!! Then I did it like 50 more times cause there was this mom there with this toddler and he kept yelling "again!" So I had to amuse the little kid til my legs and lungs fell off lol. So no crate, just go on in now. The speed/height was scary but thrilling at the same time. And no, didnt wet my diapers lol Getting better on the stalls too. Just the coping is so low, if I dont put my feet together, I go over lol, did a split one time too. I need my bloopers on film lol! It was an exciting day for me. The fears are coming down and I can enjoy skating again like I remember before the broken arm. I want to do a monkey plant next. :-D By end of summer, should have a decent vid I hope of me doing some tricks. Nothing big but for me it will be cool. Esp. if I can get an invert in there!! That will be a monstrous accomplishment for me.

claudine: Thanks Biff! and MORE! (5. Jul. 2009 19:38)
	I'm incredibly happy today. I was doing the monkey plants. I landed them, even on the 4 1/2 foot kiddie halfpipe. So now will work on the handplants. Even if they dont look impressive, this is a BIG deal for me considering I thought these were out forever. My arm did OK, so stoked!! : FANTASTIC!!! : : : Yeah thats right, the little one is finally moving up in the skate world. I dropped in the deep end! Woo-hoo!

My arm did OK, so stoked!! : : Isn't that wonderful when you can get back in there and enjoy life?! :D This is probably the first weekend in a LONG time that I could skate and really enjoy it. Instead of fearing the bowl, it felt like my friend again. I hope to get some pic/footage soon even of a really bad invert just because I never got one before my accident. To me its not important to be great, but to achieve my goals. And I seriously thought my arm would never gain this type of function back ever. I was just hoping to be able to open the door and eat with my hand norma loll. Fuck, I have recovered!! I was stoked, I was even jumping off a decent sized curb with my unicycle today first time and riding off like it was easy as pie. My muscles were relaxing, FINALLY. Yep, much better the 2nd time around!!

	: : : maybe I meant milk crate? Its a plastic cubical thing they use to carry milk jugs, eggs, um maybe just milk lol. : : : : Hm, I'm still not quite sure how you used this milk crate ... : I just put it upside down like a ledge to lean on. Nope, didnt do much. Just felt like I could grab onto it so gave me confidence lol. Whaddo I know? I thought I needed my shoulder cracked or popped. Its an impinged nerve/frozen shoulder my new PT said. I told her my shoulder was fine lol, always something wrong. I'm glad to hear you're back on the horse again! Big upps! Dropping Monkeys, eh? Stoked on it all. Good to make up with an old friend. Stay loose and stretching, ya

Don't be so self-depricating! You're one of how many women skating pools on skates?!? 5,6 maybe 10 in the World on a regular basis? That's something, Girl! And dropping in on anything with coping is psychologically impossible for most people,so don't be so hard on yourself. You're kicking ass! And, trust me, when I skate with Duke (& I suspect it'll be the same with Biff!) I'm well aware I'm not the Alpha Dog on deck, but I could care less. I'm having a Blast, skating with friends & doing My Thing. What more could anyone want?!?! Wanna see some video soon. But know what you mean about the groms. Don't trust anyone UNDER 30!!

I'm just happy I can sk8 as I started very old and had a major injury, plus Ima woman which around here is very, very, VERY rare in any action sport period. So I'm quite proud of my accomplishments, but figured compared to you guys that been at it for decades, its not much. I'll try to get a video. The kiddie park is kinda hard. I dont go to the bowls but 1-2 a week cause of money and its a 50-50 chance I'll be alone. But I'll get one. Just dont expect anything polished. More like humorous as flailing is my favorite thing to do lol. The guys here respect me so I guess I do OK. But I'm sure I still look like a frog having a spaz on rollerskates lol. ;-D
