How's everyone been? Winter updates?

[Mrock]

Hey all. First of all, happy (late) holidays, and a happy new years! I have been skimming the boards, and I don't feel like I've contributed, since the weather got cold, but I was out of town for a while, too. Anyways, I was curious to see if anyone's recently landed a trick they've been working on a while, how everyone's x-mas turned out (since I previously asked what they asked for)...and stuff like that. On my end...I just got back from Cleveland, Ohio, for a week. I skated new years eve with a friend for a while (we didn't get snow on new years eve)...and even had a best trick contest. My friend isn't the greatest skater, so I won, but I killed my knee trying a frontside heelflip over a statue thing. In mid air, the board nailed my knee, I guess..and I landed pretty funky..twisted it. I wasn't able to move my knee for a couple of days, and can finally walk on it a bit. I am planning on getting back to skating tomarrow, I think. If it gets worse, I guess it's time to see a doctor. The thing that blows is, It's really numb when I don't move it..which is just how my dislocated shoulder was. Anywho'...the TPH team has talked about making a video in a year or so, where all of us meet up for some nice street skating. We'll see how that goes. I was hoping to get some filming this summer, but I will be busy with a lot of traveling. So far the schedule for me is (in no order):

-St. Louis, Missouri
-Cleveland, Ohio (again)
- Tampa, Florida
- Red river/Taos/Eagle nest, New Mexico

Besides those places, I'm hoping to get to travel some other random place to meet up with a team member. Once again, we'll see how that goes. I've talked enough, what's been new with all of you?

you may have sprained your LCL ligament (i think that's what its called) the best thing you can do is not skate on it and take it easy. i've pulled that ligament a few times, and it hurt to walk. so i didn't walk and it got better.
anyway, i got a darkstar board, broke two others, been practicing my technique, etc., etc....

WEll thanks for asking :p well my winter has been crappy, First I sent ben the auntographed poster I got him when I met tony hawk and all those skaters and it got lost... but i got it back now. Also Haven't skated a lot I just hang around and "surf the streets".
As fat as winter goes its in between things... I'm happy with my g/f I've been trying to blunt slide a lot but I can't land and can't even lock the board so I'll luckily land it... I want to try and varial heelflip it seems cool. Well what else can I say... also I decided I'm going out of the country during summer and meet some old friends and family. well Like I was saying winter There isn't any snow in the streets which makes me mad. I miss snow I want some. I went snowboarding couple weeks ago and didn't do anything it was cool. I'll just stick to skateboarding since there is no snow.
Well winter has been rough on me in school I dropped a lot of my grades from straight A's I went to b's and C's I can't concentrate everything is just too weird. There is no time for anything these days. Well thats all I have to write hope some does read and pitty me.

winter was lazy. didnt really get much done cept a couple things for the FTS video

[Mrock]

Luckily, I've still been skating every day. I've missed a few because of my knee...and still physically can't today, but I think tomarrow I should be ready to go. Forget the 20 degree weather..hoodie solves all problems.
