Friday seemed to be the best day of the week. I woke up early feeling great so I decided to go surf for an hour then I had a delicious breakfast with my Love and Ben. It was 8.30 at this time so I headed to Pasadena to work. On my way there, I was so stoked, some great dancehall in my hears from Switzerland (check it out KyaBamba sound system). As it was early, I decided to check Pasadena skatepark. The spot is sick and they have a mini ramp the only thing that really matters for me. Then all day at work, I was waiting for the time i'll be riding the mini. By the way, I'm a novice. I learnt how to drop in at the Vans skatepark in Orange while I was there for the Free Flow Tour 07/18. After Orange, I went to 3rd Lair last weekend where I learn rock to fakie. I can hear you guys making fun of me but tell me who knows how to skateboard before trying it. Anyway, let's get back to my Friday. At the end of the day, I went to Pasadena skatepark for a really short time...I am 6'4 so you can imagine when I walked in how the kids were staring at me. I stopped near the mini and then I started questioning myself : should I get on the ramp because if I get up there, there is no way I bail and walk down. Also, I had sleepers on because I forgot my shoes. I was really looking for an excuse to get back in my car and leave. BUT A ssam is not a pu#$*e so I went for it. All good until I twisted my ankle and then the best day became a nightmare. I had to drive an hour to get home. Not only that I had to cancel a trip to Denver for the FFT. Now, I am using crutches to walk but I swear to Jahsus, Pasadena skatepark will see me again.
