Shockwaves

Its the start of the boarding season this week. Starting to prepare, getting some hardcore practice in before that 4 hour drive to the centre, you'd think I'd have it pretty well panned out. Unfortunately not, I decided to go to the woods up my road to play around in as it's my first time out in about a month, it was chilly. Buff up, check pads, feet in, straps in, quick glance down the hill and Bang! drop in and start riding. Its a bit sketchy, some corners and possibilities of dog walkers but it makes it more exciting. I see a little verge, i go to ride up it catching my truck on a root pointing upwards, turns me to the side, I'm airborne off my board, right foot down, bends, wrists down and face in dirt. I lay there pumping with adrenaline still smiling, heart rushing. I stand up, left foot, then right foot. Shit. The pains pretty immense and travels straight up my right side of my body. The smiles gone as the thought of doing well at the weekends competition goes to. Hopefully it's just muscle, I'm sticking it out till I cant take any more, then I may get it checked out. Never giving up xxx
