Gone Skateboarding?

bright sunny day yesterday, start heading out to skate and it hammers it down with snow and hail. regretfully head to the one covered spot in sunderland (which somehow manages to be damp all year round) and in an unexplainable twist of events it was actually dry, and then we get to the actual curb spot and it looks like neil buchanan flipped his car on it

still managed a good skate and somehow had fs slappies absolutely dialled which is odd considering the last time i tried them was at this same spot 3 months ago and barely managed 1/10 of them, then lastnight they just worked lol

That paint looks intentional to me. Might be my paranoia (from the 90’s) about everyone hating skateboarders though!

Another mini House session today with the family unit. Old man legs still work but fuck me, skateboarding gets harder as you age.

Popped to a real fun mini ramp just outside of Norwich Saturday. Hacked about for a bit then it got a bit to busy so went to check out the new park in Attleborough. Small but a good laugh and some one had brought their pet bunny to the park which i guess is the done thing in Norfolk.

Where abouts was that please?

Glad you posted this extra bit of info here. After I showed her the pic on Insta, my OH was getting ready to take a rabbit rescue kit up to Attleborough. :laughing:

Mini ramp was in Little Melton. Bunny rabbit was in Attleborough. Both in the county of Norfolk.

Oh it was well looked after and even had its own backpack transport! It wasnt phased by any of the noises so must make a regular appearance.

Went skateboarding for 2 hours. Landed nothing. Still feel pretty great as my ankle seems a bit more like it doesn’t hate the idea of me popping my board

Went skating last night. Managed to slip out of a switch bs pivot on a steep quarter and ended up hitting both wrists and somehow ended up winded on my back, in -3 weather so yeah, not a great skate yesterday.

Might leave it a couple weeks till it warms up, it’s too cold rn

Some clips of a day and evening shredding the local curbs from a while back.

Aye it’s good!
Gets a little greasy but it’s rare to find a nice undercover curb!
Also the manny pad is slightly downhill which is perfect!

Went to the local indoor with my daughter. 3rd skate this year! Didn’t do much but had fun. Nice to have someone to skate with for once haha

Had a really good couple of hours at an exeter park today, stoked having tried to go for a skate at the local indoor on Wednesday and leaving within an hour.

It’s a top spot - @Bish & a few others in this from a few months back

Did a North Manchester explore over last couple of days:

Spring feels like it’s nearly here…

Went for a quick blast yesterday, managed to learn 3 new tricks in 2 hours. Stoked. And it’s warming up here, it was above freezing!
