Today was the Maloof money cup (skateboard competition) at the OC Fair. It was a year ago today when my sister was practicing for that same competition where she fell going for a trick and tore her ACL and fractured her knee. She had to under go surgery and physical therapy and now a year later here we are. She was able to over come her fear of re-injuring her self and the fear of what if I'm not strong enough yet. I was so proud of her for the strength she has to face her fears. It takes a lot of courage to get on a skateboard and launch yourself down the handrails that these girls do and to stand up for women's skateboarding (they wanted to get rid of girls competitions all together). Lauren did well today she didn't place which I'm sure was a little disappointing for her, but she also did not give up which would have been a lot easier to justify.
