Pointless Topics

Didn’t know where to post this and hope it’s ok to post here, as I’m not sure where to go forwards with this issue, but does anyone know how to get hold of Zach McAdam (VXMedic)?

All comms have gone quiet in the past year (only had emails between him and Insta messages to liaise with him). I know he’s deleted his insta a few months ago and a few people have asked about how to get hold of him because of that. He had some mental health issues and ended up probably taking on too much of a work load a year or so ago and I understand and all, but I’ve left it almost over a year now to wait for my shit to come back.

I totally get it if anyone doesn’t wish give me his details, but if they could reach out to him, that’d be cool.

Skated Prissick Plaza today as my mum had an appointment at the nearby hospital and needed a lift.

£3 to skate it, otherwise the nearby leisure centre keep it locked up. The park cost £450,000 back in the early ‘00s and is still really skateable. It was mainly (entirely?) funded by public money. Seems massively underused.

Yeah prissick is sick. Went there yeeears ago and always wanted to go back.

Sorry you’re in the same boat as many, many people. He owes Chris (one of the Decimal crew) his camera(s) and also a good few hundred quid back for not completing the work that he was meant to do. I’ve tried over the last couple of years alongside Chris to get it sorted for him, but every time we end up at a brick wall.

Last I heard he worked at Slugger, which is how someone else I know managed to get their VX1 back after a long battle. Such a shitty situation.

I understand that he’s had troubles, but he could at the very least do the right thing and send people their equipment back and return their money. He definitely would know who’s equipment he has.

Is it worth speaking to Kennelly?

This is what gets me, me and Ben (Man With a Movie Camera) were off about it the other day.

I’ll do some digging after work to find out more deets.

That’s why you always use the original and the best, the vx doc

Yep! TBH at the time IIRC he wasn’t dealing with anything from the UK, as he had some bullshit arise from Brexit related docs with a few people. However always used VX Doc for anything VX related, good egg.

Also gave me back my main board when my camera had nowt wrong with it, so I used that to fix another VX I fixed recently. Most would probably keep that for themselves but he was honest and just said it was fine, so he gave it back just in case. Legend.

Nearly hit my bday and I’m at 32 tricks…

These last ones are getting really, really hard.

I will say I’ve been proper enjoying actually going out and skating flatland with my mates for a few hours rather than hitting actual spots.

Feels like when I first started!

Last night I went to three different undercover spots throughout the Toon just so I could skate flat!

Pics of it being the moon and the earth are cool.

2 billion mins you.

Sons uni graduation next week, has to do the cap and gown and all that.
Question is how fancy does he need to get dressed up.
Fully suited?
Office casual?
Jeans and tshirt?

depends on the uni. if it’s hatfield might as well just go in flip flops. if it’s a decent uni then a suit is generally appropriate

This is what they want to build in Stratford, 10 minutes from my flat. Absolutely bonkers to think this is suitable for a residential area in a city

I just went in jeans and a formal shirt, no tie. The ceremony didn’t matter that much to me. Felt like they made sure everyone got a 2.1 anyway to keep people happy. Even leaked questions to us so we could prepare before final exams. Maybe I’m cynical but it felt like big business rather than a serious academic institution.

I forgot to go to mine.

That’s fucked. Another certificate factory. Might as well have just paid for the degree and not done any learning
