New year, new worry…
I went to the orthopedic doctor today and he told me “Taiko, you really shouldn’t be skating anymore…”
Its one thing to have your parents or non-skating friends telling you to give it up, but to hear it from a guy who’s just checked out both your damaged knees is something else. Apparently my long suffering niggling knee pains are due to some torn meniscus and some other bits of cartilage. They might not heal completely, even with surgery. His recommendation is: quit skating, take up minimal load bearing execises like swimming and biking and do knee exercises.
I wont quit skating, but I will be slowing down even more. Definately no gaps or high impact obstacles, just mellow trannies and low ledges from now on.
So boys and girls out there, get yourself checked if you have any kind of pain and please don’t over-do it.
Have fun at the end of the day and… oh yea… happy new year to you too.

Putrajaya Challenge Park update
For those who have not been to the park, it has been ready for nearly 2 months but my visit there last week was a shocker. Although not having the opportunity to skate the whole park yet, my heart sank when I saw ceilings being torn apart as I drove up the road.
Apparently, the ceiling was leaking whenever it rained so they had to strip all the plaster boards off but what puzzled me was the need to take off the aluminum braces.
A quick look around the park also finds problems with the drainage covers that has been stolen.
What was more disheartening is the lack of respect for the park. Graffiti was tagged by some dinky minded person sans cool factor.
Last we heard, the Putrajaya Challenge Park will only be officially open sometime mid 2009.
