He’s quite a character
Haven’t seen him for over 20 years and could still tell it wad him straight away
Yes big time, heard a few stories on the way back I won’t repeat here haha. Shreds though
Has anyone skated Doncaster recently?
Going to check here out tomorrow but was wondering about street spots?
Earlier today, doubles with a mate and a filmer testing out his tapeless VX1000
Earlier today, -3°C, me, myself and I.
…and no gloves??
I actually had some but forgot them in the car and couldn’t be bothered going back to get them. I was ok with a good puffa jacket and trekking socks.
I was at Selfridges bowl this evening and they say they’re discussing putting one of those bungee cord rail and harness systems in. Which will be great for beginners learning to drop in and for older skaters starting up again after a long break. Could even work for learning blunts and disasters. I’m all for stuff like this.
Was mental battling blunt fakies last night. Fucking annoying when I used to have flip ins
Cambridge was a very good time last night, definitely going to the next one. Decided I’d skate and try and ignore the ankle pain, lots of wincing but fucking lovely to do a couple tricks again.
Even bumped into Joxa
I get that so much with tricks I used to be able to do and know I could still do if I could do it just once fully committed, and fear stops me. I wish skateparks had crash mats you could use. You’d only need one or two goes and then you’d be able to take it away.
Ace, looked fun. And cold. I was contemplating car parking it this morning but it is cold and damp so I’ll head out to the local tonight.
Yeah nice meeting you man! Was a rad time last night.
Met @sk8arrog8 and crew at the ledges in town this morning then onto The House for a sub zero micro sesh (all 15 minutes of it) with her indoors.
Will shout you next time @cleam.clackers
On bus back from skating today. Super cold but found the newish tunnel block spot in Liverpool then popped into Lost Art got chatting to VMFJ who very kindly told me exactly where the bank to curb type spot was from his insta vid the other day and he was right way better looking than it is. Still super rad of him to share the knowledge.
Got stoked on the new Free mag cover photo ( I didnt know he had started a photography course in London ) going where did he put the flash ? ) and then went for a chilly pierhead session and then some curb action at Kaplan as every block run up was gritted to hell.
Rad day.
Didn’t go on Sat night but managed just over 2 hours last night. Still not 100% after the slams a couple of weeks back but did ok, getting there and healing faster than expected.
I landed my first ever frontside 180 heel flip. That felt amazing.
Can you post pics of where you skate?
I should really try and get over to stoke one evening for a skate. Its only an hour for me and i need to pull my finger out.
