☹️
No-accidents streak : 0 days
No-death streak : 4 days !
☹️
Welp...
I'm no longer the "Incredible Zero Falls Guy" ☹️
😒
Still, 3 days without falling, not too bad, right ?
And I did some dumb shit already !
Guess I was overdue.
And yeah, I know, the picture isn't impressive at all, but it was still a full fall. I guess I was just very lucky. Bruised my hand, arm and entire left side. Can't even sit properly right now cause my side hurts. It's amazing !
So yeah, I crashed down, immediately jumped back on my feet, laughed it off and went back on the board - all that whilst hoping nobody had seen it.
...
Though... I wish someone had filmed it, cause it must have been really funny and stupid, but probably also very interesting. I don't really know what I did wrong.
It happened on a longer run where I practiced my pushing again. I realized that one of my difficulties with pushing came from the fact that I pushed too quickly... and I identified the reason for this : I don't have enough confidence/strength in my left leg yet, the one that stays on the board.
Ideally, I should be able to keep balance on that leg alone whilst the other one does the pushing. And this is where I need practice : strengthening my left leg and my balance.
So I tried to practice this, aaaaaaaand... that's why I fell.
It was very interesting, and I think I improved a bit doing it. It's a bit more exhausting though as I need to contract that left leg a bit more. Not used to do it naturally yet. I think I'll dig out my bike too, and do some leg training again to help improve this.
Besides that, I'm again quite proud of my day. I really became better in turning whilst leaning, even good, so I tried to turn faster whilst lifting the nose of the board. Buuuut, I'm not there yet XD
I also managed to go down the border 1-2 times, where I used to get stuck each time. So yay for that too.
I timed my session too : 41:16 minutes.
It is NOT a lot, and I couldn't do more after that. It was too hot, and I was also drained.
Hopefully I'll improve here too.
And maybe I shouldn't do it at the warmest hour of the day, lol.
And : I'm really not fond of those shoes. Dunno why yet, maybe cause the toes are too compressed ? It's just not comfortable at all. Let's hope this will get better in the coming days.
After that I did some quick shopping, I needed that sun-blocker and some bread for the evening. This was another funny moment.
I walked into the store... and everybody was wearing that dumb face mask. And then, enters Kat : drenched, bruised, sunburned, scruffy, maskless. It was hilarious XD All those people trying to fight off some invisible foe, and I walked in, the embodiment of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, not giving a single fuck.
Also, on that note... guys, if you wear a mask : if you don't cover your nose, you might as well not wear it at all lol.
I counted 5-6 people keeping the nose outside of it, even some of the store employees.
So much for "safety" and that Covid bullshit.
People take it really seriously, lol.
