100% remember this. It felt like we weren’t far off a kickflip being a switch fakie nollie flip at one point. Really confusing for a young grom just trying to learn the basics.

Interesting looking at the size of the wheels. Most of the riders in the women’s street final had wheels that looked tall to me, like 60mm or something.

I think they would have to have pretty big wheels, being light teen-agers trying to get any speed in those massive obstacles.

…and somehow I went from cycling to the local for a skate/coffee/lurk to getting a call and now being in Paris for a couple of nights for the Mens finals.
Debbie Downer was that I was travelling with awful Eurostar wifi so haven’t seen any of the womens contest today.
Looking forward to tomorrow.

Something delightfully horrifying seeing skaters in one brand of “uniform” and different shoes.
Liz Akama, Asics shoes, Nike outfit.
Chloe, Nike shoes, Asics outfit. etc

the chinese team having fila skate shoes and the dutch having Cariuma uniform sponsors (assume only for skateboarding) was pretty interesting.

And then to collect their medals they all had to wear the official sponsors shoes. Rayssa not wearing her own dunk c’way and wear some skecher looking numbers I’m sure Mary in accounts was wearing the other day.

Put money on yuto (nothing extravagant, price of a fancy sandwich in central London) turns out I had £1 in my account so put that on Andy Mac to win. I’ll get an £81 payout.
It’s coming home.

Kelvin Honker is on one already.
Anyway to watch that for free?
I can get euro sport but it’s not on that
Have the French guys gone already?
Interested to see Garbaccio.
Only just started. Still on the runs of heat 1.
There’s not many interesting skaters in this heat.
Snapped board = end of run
Surprised the riders don’t have set ups ready to go.
Love the coach just slowly finding his bag for him.
Gonna be quite tight to be ready for best trick if he has to swap trucks to a new board.
Judges:
Garrett Hill
Vanessa Torres
JB Gillet
Daniel lebron
And another woman…
Rofl the non skater commentator losing his mind about the Argentinian skater snapping his deck a few times. He landed so badly on the tail it’s gonna snap bro
