I tried the caribeaner key thing because hey, the cool kids are doing it. fuck me, 15 seconds and I was over it. Just put them in my pocket like a normal person.

Yeah most are 3-3.5. I only get stuff that’s 3.8 and above, seems to be ok.
Rather than help find the really really good stuff I use it to avoid the shit stuff, if that makes sense
There is a bit of a 1990 street revival with Joe Bloggs type long sleeves making kids look like they are in Jesus Jones and i’m sure I have seen a few dungarees in skating and if that catches on then it will cement this revival fully and skaters can double as raving backing dancers on TOTP

Dungarees have been spotted in the wild in skate edits for at least a year now

Imagine what the 80’s skaters were saying about us in the 90’s with our baggy trousers round our arses , puffy tongue moon boot trainers and huge t-shirts ?
Probably sound like you lot now .
I’ve loved nothing more than to get out the stonewash baggy jeans and white t-shirt after 20 years . Feels like me skating again.

It’s 100 times better than your daughter wanting you to go upstairs (or another room) so she can video call you for the 5th time today! Haha cries haha…

They’ve opened the local tip up this week with each day being allocated to different regions within the borough.
Today was for the area I live in so I was able to cart away loads of stuff that’s been sat around since I sorted out the shed.
I couldn’t believe how busy it was.
It took an hour to queue on the mile or so long road to get in.
Everywhere around town is much busier than we’ve been used to over the last couple of months.
An observation made while driving about.
You might have read that nothing has changed in Scotland, but that’s not true. Lockdown has been lifted for groups of junkies, and big groups of teenage boys on shitty mountain bikes are also, finally, allowed out. Haven’t seen it reported anywhere, but that’s definitely where we’re at.
The shit graffiti over all the boarded-up shops is getting ridiculous now. The city centre looks like a 10 year-old’s school desk.

Is that an official lifting?
And was it announced in exactly those terms?
That would be amazing.
Must be official, it’s happening everywhere.
if anyone wanted to use this time to get a bit more fit and healthy i wanted to give a plug for my mate who has set up a number of coaching programs that can be done without any equipment. i have known him for 20+ years and he has always been on the fitness tip but i personally have never had a gym membership or really done workouts . i cycled to work (avg 50 miles a week) for a number of years but thats basically the extent of my fitness regime and now i havent dont that for ages. i really struggled with basic press ups and sit ups and was doing them but soon got bored, and i couldnt be arsed with joe wickes. my mate did a 30 day challenge on his site and it has made quite a difference to me. i have lost over over half a stone and have a much better appreciation of what a decent workout should be like. i have some muscle definition in my arms and legs that was not there 3 weeks ago and the belly and moobs have definitley reduced in size a bit.
he is doing a free 10 day challenge so this could be a good starter for anyone that is thinking about it. I still drink a few beers and eat the odd chocolate bar so i have not totally gone for all the advice but it has really helped me and he is a great coach with loads of experience https://www.coachtomfitness.com/freetrainingcoachtom - check him out if you fancy giving it a try
One of the most retarded “trends” ever. Fall off your board and have those keys stab you in the hip or ass. Just leave them in that old half-chewed burger box on the side or something.
Handy on the bike though.
Pretty handy at work for me too. I would never skate with that though.
Brad Cromer said it was the worst trend ever in his Bunt interview. He mentioned Figgy having about 15 keys on his carabiner keychain during a road trip in Dubai, which made no sense at all, unless he runs 15 Airbnbs there.

I know we’re all trick-name pedants here and this one has been getting to me for a little while. I’m sure I saw Eniz Fazilov do one in a recent video and I’ve been racking my brains since as to what to call it. He did a switch 180 into what I can only describe as a switch-fakie krook. So grinding on an angle to the ledge but with the back truck in regular stance. Is that what a Suski grind is?
