Top day - super hot / busy - didn’t realise so many off here were there! Nice to see everyone I did chat with.

A few clips shoddily compiled on the train journey back:

Great to meet everyone I met, old and new, and I don’t think I actually missed anyone bar @anonymity who wasnt there anyway. Made a push on being more outgoing than previous years. Post covid was a bit weird for a while.

Felt like my wheels were melting!!

A lovely day.

My personal fsvourite was randomly finding myself queueing for the toilet with Mr Chis Ince. Got chatting asking what he does now he’s retired he was learning guitar and all these classsic bands he was lucky enough to have seen. Then came out and carried on the conversation saying with his pacemaker and knee replacements were keeping him feeling young with all these 50 year olds An absolute diamond. Fully made my life.
Was great to meet forum people in real life too.

Great day. Great people. Great vibe.

Roll on next year!

Dadlands was rad. Great to meet everyone. That mellow hip in the covered bit was rad, and the mini ramp.Shop was cool and enjoyed checking out the Adidas Aloha and NB Tom Knox in person and chatting about shoes. Skated for about 4 hours, so drained after ha. Yeah I’m definitely up for a forum meetup.

Great to meet everyone. No you didn’t waffle at all Mike. Was lovely to meet you. It’s inspiring and I definitely want those sober benefits. Off to skate a local hip at Sanders locally tomorrow I think or in the next few days.

It’s certainly got an interesting layout I’ll give you that, did enjoy the time I went before!

Was thinking somewhere more central like the house or hire out pioneer, would love a mission to spit and sawdust but it’s a bit far :smiling_face_with_tear:

Dadlands yesterday, mowing the lawn today! Both hot and sweaty :hot_face:

Im at a 4yr olds birthday party. Same volume, same number of questions.

Great day yesterday. We’re not doing it in July again. The wet dishclothes in the hats were a lifesaver. Stoked everyone seemed to have a good time.

Big up Dadlands, Groans and Snakes for putting it on purely because they want to and its a rad thing to do.

I came prepared with 10. Gave some out to hot goths on the day. Could have made a bit of money to be honest

Yeah, I’ve been meaning to go Spit for years, it is only two and a half hours from me but that’s because it is a straight motorway run from here in Newcastle (Lyme not Tyne :laughing:).

Rollersnakes is decent as we know and fairly central too. Busy but not overwhelming on a normal weekend. Goth sightings included for free!

Unit 1 (Si and Jess’ place in Stoke) is good fun because nothing is massive and I’m there a lot, usually 3-4 times per week depending upon how much I’m neglecting my family (joke…!).

Ramp 1 in Warrington is (from memory) decent and fairly close to the motorway network and they have good opening hours, but the baby room is a little small and the big room probably a bit too much for older legs. The granite ledge is over 1ft tall.

Thanks everyone who came, about to run Jason back to Heathrow-he said he has had a lovely time. BIG UPS.
