I was planning to film a 40 years skating vid in time for next month, but then realised it’ll be 41 years!

Not been on the board for several months. Was doing some stuff in the garage today so picked the board up for a roll around. Did a switch pop shuv. This made me very happy.

Just having a coffee after a session in London . Just noticed a new kind of skate stopper on the granite bench I’m sitting on - instead of bolting a steel bar or stud on, they carved out a groove

It’s pretty common, Birmingham Centenary Square is a good example of tasteful skate stopping. 4th paragraph in.

Seen a lot of these round Birmingham. Aesthetically more pleasant but still skate stoppers none the less.

**Dragons**. I’ve tried pretty much every major brand and hardness, and on a smooth, tight indoor bowl with a tendency to collect dust and send you sliding out I find them the best - for me - by a very long way. Especially when they resurfaced the bowl a few months back, Dragons slide when you want them to, grip when you need it. The colour- yes. Some people think white is the only legal colour, but bollocks to that. Second choice wheels would be F4 99a.
**Pret**. Toasted cheese sandwich, coffee, chocolate almonds. Pretty damn good.

A rather splendid evening with the Brum boys and a couple of local lads.
I’d initially written a reply saying I wouldn’t be out but with everything going on thought it best to force myself out. Glad I did. Two and a half hours later my legs are fuckety fucked.

I had one of my best skates ever yesterday. Just me, my board and a water bottle. No camera, nobody around. Flow state. It was fantastic. I’ll never forget that session.

Been out for a couple of hours this morning.
Nothing much to report beyond relearning half cab flips which I’m stoked on.

Did a quick hour last night. Good fun. A 6 week break hasn’t done me too much good 🤣

Gave a skate lesson (holy shit, that sounds so weird) to a bunch of kids at my local indoor park then went for a solo skate outdoors yesterday. New board, new wheels, felt good right away. Awesome. Went skating by the lake in Lausanne which I hadn’t done in a while today. 24°C, sunny weather, some smiley chaps there, lovely sesh. 3 more days at work then 10 days off. Gonna skate loads. YES.

Fair play. These days I’m less ‘flow state’ more like ‘what a state’.
