Sick to catch you briefly. Skated for about 4 hours today! Also feeling it. Stoked though.

Want to go skating later but it looks like I’ll be getting the mobile skatepark into the boot of my car and sloping off to a industrial estate instead.

Love the burrows, looks fun, keep on saying I’ll try and get up there 
Our new spot’s been wrecked by some lorries parking there. Went tonight now they’ve finally gone and swept the entire thing for over an hour. Anyone watching must have thought I was crazy. 
Gonna feel it in the morning.

Made a discovery after going skating today.
Last year I god diagnosed with high blood pressure. I got tablets and I started doing planks every day - they’re meant to bring your blood pressure down. That coincided with me feeling more confident on a board and getting back some of the tricks I’d lost over the years.
After a while I gave up on doing planks every day. This past fortnight I started up again, and in the last couple of days my balance and confidence on a board started improving. So I looked to see if there was a link. Turns out there is. By strengthening your core muscles, planks improve your balance. And I do literally 2.5 minutes a day: 30 seconds, 30 seconds and 90 seconds with a 30 second gap in between. It’s almost nothing- yet it’s actually making a measurable difference to my skating.

that’s cool. did you find they helped your blood pressure in the end?
this will sound incredibly jocky but I’ve found if I do some air squats before I go skating it warms up my legs really nicely. had my best skates in ages recently after doing that

Hard to tell - I also take a tablet a day and my blood pressure is back in the normal range. Could be a bit of both.

Couple of hours traditional Sunday morning sesh with the homies followed by an in-store mini gig at my mate’s shop just up the road from Serious Sam Barrett. Proper good Sunday.

2 sessions today - I always like to do that when my wife’s out for the day. I’m based near London so I went to the 1pm session at the Selfridges bowl and then went on to Baysixty6 for the rest of the afternoon. I just overlapped there with Stefani Nurding, who I follow on Instagram. Then I had a haircut and then I took my dog out for a walk. He also slept in my bed with me last night. A total self-care day.

Ah man I’ve loved Serious Sam Barrett ever since he was on the soundtrack to Baghead Flats and then I moved to Leeds for uni shortly after it came out. Some bloke with a 12 string guitar was supporting a band i went to see in my first few weeks there (First Aid Kit maybe), at the Brudenell. First few twangs on the thing and I’m like I recognize this music from somewhere. Very shyly fanned out at the merch table after. Good days

Banged out a 3.5 hour long session jumping about because I’m fucking fit. Been working most of the weekend, worked last weekend and I’m mentally fucked but still have loads of energy so had to get out of the house, much to the annoyance of my Mrs.
More importantly, cruised for a while then ended up smashing out a couple of hours pissing around on flat after a change of shoes. Landed my first ever switch frontside pop shuv and got something that I don’t land so much, so will have to have a think about that for bun this. Talking about that, no filming, I was enjoying myself too much.

Finally got out for a roll last night at the local park with friends that was much needed after a hectic few months and weeks. The hecticness should slow down after monday as gone fully adult and bought a house! First job, build a sweet pond.
