  • Seth and I skated on a super hot day in Knoxville TN. Not great flow at the park, but a lot of fun obstacles to skate. Got a few more jump on's on a DIY ledge, and fell on my sore hip yet again. Great day overall though!

    That fall really showed your progression. I feel like half of blading is learning how to fall and not injure yourself. You naturally rolled and distributed the energy across your hip to back like they do in parkour. Keep it up! 🤘

      I have done a lot of sports where falling is part of progression, and lets just say I have hit the deck way more times in my life than I would like. The old tuck and roll does get a lot harder when you get older though, but if I wore any more pads, I would look like the Michelin Man!

    Dude love the inline action! Those drop-ins and ride outs were particularly great. Great job on that session. 👍

      Thanks! Skateboard session will be out tomorrow, it was not so great. I was beat from the inlines and heat, and what little energy I did have got sucked up on the rough concrete.

    Now I feel like a lazy bum for not going rollerblading the last few days because it was "too hot" haha. It's so impressive seeing you and your son get out there so regularly. Makes me realize I need to stop making excuses about weather or feeling tired etc and go rollerblade/bike more.

      I have been a runner and biker all my life. We have a saying "there is no bad weather, only bad clothing" That always stopped the excuses.

    Awesome park! That session looked like real fight. Here gets close to 90 around 8AM. Got sunburns last session 😅 Thinking about going to skatepark at 7PM instead.

      Wow, where do you skate? Our issue is the heat/humidity combination, its just hard to cool down when the sweat won't evaporate. I generally skate in the late afternoon, I start work at 7 am and its hard to do anything in the mornings. Its been really hot and humid these past few weeks and we usually don't get this kind of weather until late July and August. I still exercise in it, but its not comfortable!

      @@Sure2Skate You guys are at about the same latitude we are, I didn't realize it was so hot there but it shouldn't be surprising at the latitude. Our heat stays around in the evening too, until it gets dark and starts to cool, but by then its too late to skate.

      @@Sure2Skate I was looking at my map wrong, you are much further North than me. I guess heat knows no boundaries.
