An hour and a bit tonight. Usual shit really. Zoomed my board into once of the lads by accident on a switch front shuv which bummed me out a little šŸ˜‘ But also given a tip for backside kickflips which I followed then pretty much landed the next two I did afterwards. Then got a hanger straight to my knee which ended play. Hopefully back out tomorrow. Picked up a new board Iā€™d had ordered in for me, another Girl G023. Been a bit of a drought with crail G026/023 shapes so thought Iā€™d get one whilst they were about. ---

Back from a late night skate. First in months. Just reverts, power slides, a few ollies, shuvits and no complys. No complaint from my knee thankfully. Should do that more often. ---

I did it guys, I went skating this morning! There was a beginners skate class on which was cool to see but I bailed early as I didnā€™t want to get in the way. Not that I was doing any tricks anyway, complete jelly legs, plus new trucks to break in, but to echo James, it was fun to have a roll around again. ---

Managed a couple of hours. Decent skate, started getting my confidence back on the flatbank and got front shuv and a (held on to) 360 flip both first try - decided I didnā€™t need to do anything else after the 360 flip. Felt well pro for a fleeting millisecond šŸ¤£ How nice must it feel to have hard tricks on lockā€¦. ---

Dipped my toe into Norfolk (just about) and had a fun roll about the park in Beccles early on Friday. There are 3 ā€˜tricksā€™ Iā€™d like to learn at the moment.. 1. That almost a no-comply wrap around your foot - Strawberry Milkshake? 2. No comply flips - where the tail hits a curb etc. 3. Something Iā€™ve seen Tim Olson & a few others do on insta - a sproing? Edit: Of course.. canā€™t forget the king of these.. Avi. The problem with that plan is Iā€™m less brave about jumping back on my board now than ever.. and I never really have been. ĀÆ\_(惄)\_/ĀÆ ---

4ft high at a guess. Lovely quiet village never usually anyone there. Village is lacking a good pub mind but theres 2 five minutes drive away that are banging. Good swim spot too. ---

On holidays in Helsinki and hit up 4 skateparks todayā€¦ Had to roll by Suhvilahti, itā€™s the total opposite of what I like. The surface is so crusty and uneven (Iā€™d forgotten how bad), with tight, indimidating transitions all around. Itā€™s a real measure of a top tier skater to see them blaze around here at Helride or whatever, itā€™s really difficult to skate. The entire are has gradually been built up, a bit like Dublinā€™s docklands, but not as depressingly subserviant to corporations, and apparently the entire Suhvlahati cultural complex will be flattened and turned into new apartments or something. ![2026-07-20 12.34.35](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/c/e/cefddfb610eff3d5f85c598da82b01c855d82930.jpeg) ![2026-07-20 12.33.29](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/d/8/d8acf7ce218c5abc858e52e087914d5084e8afbb.jpeg) ![2026-07-20 12.31.59](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/3/e/3e6e78712c102028657c67b98346e9bc5c76b959.jpeg) ![2026-07-20 12.31.24](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/f/f/ff2423a74c245219c75f607fd4f5f6c354d837ff.jpeg) ---

Also went to [Wamma Park](https://www.skeittibetoni.com/wamma-park-helsinki), which is just curbs and ledges, with a little quarter thing too. Always good fun. At Elaintarhu/Micropolis, they have a skate school community thing going on (run by the same people who do Helride) and have a load of spare boards to loan/hire out to old skaters getting gnarlical with their kids. ![elaintarhu skatepark](https://uksf-media.lon1.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/original/3X/0/7/07457db8955a36300cb8cf25c0ea508148adc1b2.jpeg) Wrapped up at this other one [Pikku Huopladen](https://maps.app.goo.gl/J2Qp6CxYDkhde7zY7), nothing over 1.2m and a 5m long freestanding granite curb, buzzing. 25km of cycling around the city too, good times. ---

Couple of incredibly low level skateboarding tricks from the past few days. Annoying that Iā€™m back at a lower level than I was during the filming of Bun This, but thatā€™s what you get for taking 8 months off. Canā€™t complain about being shit if I donā€™t skate Finally got pop shoves back though, so thatā€™s something i guess ---
