What’s the problem? That it doesn’t join the top of the circle?

it should be a circle but it kinks to rejoin…

We often talk about how we sit cross armed and hopefully the guests don’t think we’re mardy :joy:

the centre circle is too big, slightly smaller and it would join seamlessly.

Andy’s episode is live!
Hope y’all dudes are all well and have had a great new year so far :heart:

Good pod! I had no idea that he’d remained on Airwalk all that time, that was interesting to hear.

Someone had to :sweat_smile:

@Bobsomebody told me he was weird once years ago. Seems like a nice guy.

Dykie has had the wildest things happen to him. I remember me and Tommy bumping into him once at Spit, he brought up how he got caught in the automatic doors at his gym and was stuck there for nearly 30 mins.

Once we drove up to Liverpool for Owain’s vid prem + I think Rowley had a shoe launch at Lost Art. Dykie could stay an extra day and stay with us, but he found out he could get a dead cheap Megabus to London, but had to stay there for hours and then get to Cardiff. I just found it so funny, I think it was because it was like saving him a fiver haha. Instead of paying a little extra and go straight to Cardiff from Liverpool.

That’s Dykie for you haha. I’ll give this a good listen on my drive back from sunny Wrexham tomorrow.

You based in Wrexham? I think we might have skated together at the Boneyard in the past maybe?

Nah, I was up helping a friend out sort some stuff out with a move and ended up managing to fit a skate in. I got a friend who’s a filmer there and got some footy with him.

Rollersnakes making snarky comments about the skater owned shops Whatsapp group. Sad really because the group is mostly just one man bands doing it for the love of it not because they’re trying to make money. It’s pretty tone deaf to do this on Skate Shop Day.

Best comment Sam Barratt, “lol. Punching down”

Fucking lame. Type of shit you expect though. Just want people to comment for the engagement.

Don’t know much about how it operates now, but Snakes was the only place you could order so much stuff from for years. For those of us who didn’t have a local. They’d always have people visiting the ramp, they made two of the most important UK videos ever, and they managed to survive despite not being allowed to advertise in Sidewalk (because of HSC), survived HSC opening in Nottingham and survived the whole switch to online. Made a magazine too, and if they hadn’t done that, who knows if Sidewalk would have ever existed. Still having jams (or whatever the fuck it is) and actually having regular editorial output - outside their own site - seems pretty good.

Pretty shit if they sell Rip and Dip or whatever, but if all the shops to have a pop at, I don’t think Snakes is the one.

Also I have no idea of the politics of WhatsApp groups.

Edit: Oh yeah, also helped start one of the best UK companies ever.

No shade on Snakes as a shop but the actual insta post is lame. Click bait style shit that can cause divides rather than bringing stores together. Just kinda dumb.

Ps. I’m unaware of any WhatsApp group etc and don’t own a store. Just an annoying post.
