I've been off my board for over a week now. An unfortunate fall split my shin open and I had to get stitches. They came out yesterday so I'm itching to skate. A week off really lets me know how my sanity is entwined with being able to skateboard. Any day now and I'll be back.
On a gloomy Sunday we headed under a bridge to do some slappies. So satisfying.
I was having a blast on Monday. It was hot, but not too hot and Phil's yard is really fun to skate. It was a good, small crew and I posted up to take a few photos, then jumped back into the skate fun. But it didn't end well. I looped out of a carve grind and fell to the flat and caught my shins on the coping. It hurt, but not bad enough to stop skating. Until I saw my pant leg soaked in blood. My shin caught the coping just right and split open. It only took 3 stitches to patch it up.
Here are some of the photos before the bloodshed.

Steve 180s out of a 50-50.
Toby with the classic slappy.
Tight crew.

Ultimate Phil bluntslides down.
And switch boardslides up.
Slatky with the backlip.
And a textbook switch 5-0.
And a smith on the pool coping wall.
And Brandon pulled out the staple gun.
Then my shin exploded and it was off to get stitched up.
