Loughead Sequence
just finished putting this sequence of Loughead together. I got to try out his new camera and shoot the sequence as well. He forgot about the pics until now. love putting these together. click it to go big!
Sunday in the Burg.
Yesterday we had a long session through Harrisburg.
We hit up some spots that have been asking for a little TLC
Josh was really trying to get this over double to wall. It’s marinating
Plastic VS Metal? wardrobe malfunction? either way this is how Josh’s peg looked by the end of the day. Everyone was putting in some moves.
overall, I landed my first manual bar in months, possibly even a year. Sage was showing me how it’s done doing on the 3rd stair. Everyone was somehow getting their hop 3s in order. Sage got a gnarly shiner and took it easy for most of the night and then came back to destroy this one 7 stair. I wish I would of snapped a photo of the turndown he clicked. Ended the night with a sweet roof sesh. goodtimes.
Shredurday
Today Mclovin and I headed out for a casual cruise in Lebanon and ended up with some solid riding.

After taking a hit to the shoulder on our trip to Ohio/Pittsburgh I became curious as to why my bone sticks out the top of my shoulder.
When I first fell, I really thought I broke my shoulder. It felt like my shoulder was in a bra before and now it’s just hanging out all flat and pan cake titty like. It felt better even after a week. I can still use it. practically like normal. I found this little image as a guide from 1-6 of the severity of shoulder separations: 
I’m pretty sure I tore a tendon or two though. My guess is that I have a class 3 type separation. I can use it almost every way normal, however bringing my arm across my chest is where it starts to feel strained and painful. I read further through Wiki’s description of separations and it looks like since the tendons don’t work anymore you have to build up your muscles around them. Which could take up to 12 weeks for it to feel completely back to normal. Anything worse than a type 3 separation requires surgery. Some say that even a type 3 should get surgery to avoid chances of getting arthritis.
I’ve been trying to do push ups and pull ups whenever I’m not riding to ensure that my shoulder gets some kind of workout. I can’t sleep on my left side at all (which is my favorite) so I’ve forced myself into just sleeping on my right side, back, and stomach. I used to really toss and turn in sleep and this has kind of forced me to stay still. Which might be a good thing. I feel progress with the strength and reach of my shoulder every few days, I have a feeling I’ll be feeling close to 100% soon enough.
Solo sesh
Went for a solo sesh in the city last night after work. I get off at 6:30 now so I have time to cruise. Rode around for a bit and met up with Josh since he just got back from his Florida trip. He caught a couple parks clips while he was down there. Good stuff.
