Sneaking in some fun.

The last few weeks have been busy enough with work and family that there has been little time for any extended opportunities for fun.

Did get down to the Skatepark at Upjohn park here in Kalamazoo. During this session i got to watch some rugby matches and some pretty nice skating from this other fella. This session was notable only because i finally pulled off some frontside carves.  This opened up a number of lines that were unavailable.

Also practiced popping out on a hip....speed seems to be my biggest hold back right now.

 But since this session a week ago...I have had to sneak it in and find it in odd places.  The first odd space was the compost heap.  I have been an avid composter for a long time, and the heap i have going here has been very productive I harvest quite a bit of soil from it every year. The picture above is a nice example of the material that i get to add to the garden every year.

I have started to do regular pull ups on the outdoor bar i stuck up behind my garden gate.  The other gate has chains and concrete that I use as a slack line anchor.  If i expect to be able to lead the upper diagonal...i will need to do a lot more pull ups.

I stepped out to pick up a pizza and some food from Rasa Ria ( excellent Malaysian food) and quickly stopped being a pedestrian and jumped on the Loaded.  After getting the pizza, i misjudged a speed bump and totally went heels over head. I misread the bump..but i landed the fall- rolled with it, and came out relatively unscathed.  Some bloody knuckles...pizza cheeze shifted- a small price for radness i figure.
