Gone Skateboarding?

I am like a tin man

Tonight I knew I could get a quick warm up in within 30 mins and the plan tonight was to try get one for BT and get maybe the first 5-10 in for my 48/48. Warmed up, went and grabbed the camera and by the time I’d faffed with it I’d cooled down and my legs had gone.

So I got fuck all lol

It does seem to struggle with a couple of things but I expect it is user error and I’ll be able to work around it. It does a good job of tracking me around the park, sometimes it seems to lose its mind though :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Went for a little roll around my local car park and thoroughly enjoyed it. Didn’t do anything apart from ollie up and down curbs. It was lovely.

Went to a not as early as it used to be Dawn Patrol as Newsham this morning.

Mackey , Ash Wilson and a bunch of other older guys turned up. Good amount of skaters had a really fun session.

Filmed a couple of bits with the new camera.

Now watching Dawn of the Nugget with my girls.

One hour, two street spots, three clips for my homie’s video.
Good for the soul.

Went skating again, so tired now but feel good, surprisingly. Warmed up, felt ok, park quiet and got 5 basics for my 48/48. Happy days, although knackered.

Went Newsham again today to try and get a trick on the slappy curb. 3 hours of trying. Did everything as close to it as you could possibly get but couldn"t roll one. Then ran out of time. Ah well bettervthan sitting about thinking too much.

Had an hour before I’d smacked my left big toe and then my right knee started to grind, felt like metal on metal…Must have blown the transaxle. Can’t win them all.

Did actually get a front pop shuv on the flatbank, second one ever, tonight.

Woke up with weird back pain, probably something wrong with my lungs, feel like I’ve been getting a cold (but not really getting it) since Sunday. Weird. Thought I wouldn’t skate, a mate texted me and hyped me up, we had a quick but really fun sesh and both did a trick we weren’t really comfortable with in the first place several times. 10/10.

Unofficial skate night at the local. Knee was alright once warmed up, thank goodness. Bit of a worry that was but I think it might have been me pushing it a little.

The Rollersnakes youngsters were ripping as well as the older heads. Which is amazing really - I think there’s a good 40 years between young Blye and myself. Generations!!!

Did a personal NBD of a back 180 heelflip on the flatbank. Twice.

Stoked in Stoke(on Trent).

Not skating but went out filming tonight, filmed one super good clip of a mate at a new spot :slight_smile:

Super fun getting the bus into town and just rolling about. To be doing this at 36 makes me so happy. Also no beers as well on the session.

EDIT: It was a manny clip, always a treat, at where an absolute classic Oxford spot used to be. Mouly Viewfinder 2 Switch Biggie Heel that 5 stair. Completely unrecognisable now.

I did but my knee crapped out again. Time to take a break for a few days and give it some TLC

You skate a lot mate!

Yeah, definitely overdone it recently though. Mrs is getting a bit grumpy being left with the kids loads so probably a good time to take a short break :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Also people putting up the congestion charge cameras in Oxford. Dead.

I get 100 trips a year for free. But there’s like a few roads I do use sometimes so could get long.

£5 a pop after those 100.

A couple of hours at BaySixty6 today, and then the evening session at Selfridges
