Pointless Topics

I’d personally want to maximise skate time, and realistically I’d probably spend most of my time sat down gawping at Ishod, or whoever, cruising around. The open would obvs be a good craic, but you’d probably skate a lot less than if you went at another time.

Looks like a right laugh but def one I know once I get there I’d hate it and want to go home and then I realised that is literally every social interaction these days.

I think it’s quite a bit of this. The organisers have copped quite a bit of flack in the past, hence now not announcing the dates and doing a year in Berlin and another in locations outside of Copenhagen.

Yeah that’s how I understood it too - basically got too big too quickly for William/Keld and the dudes that organise hence why it’s never announced officially any more.

Probably more a consequence of the way my life has ‘evolved’ than of the event itself but it looks like the most God awful stag do/cringe fest that I have zero interest in being at but that’s as it should be, I’m a old Michael Fabricant.

But even then, it’s really weird chatting small talk with folk you only half know.
In the past I always skated more and talked less and now I can barely skate, at events etc I just find myself wandering for a bit then i’m done, ready for the safety of home.

I feel like you don’t necessarily need this disclaimer, there are plenty of older pros who go along too right? If it’s cringe it’s cringe.

Seeing Gino and Brandon Westgate (separately) just skating around having fun with no audience was a highlight.

I take it he didn’t push? Gutted.

I enjoyed Dadlands, but it was well packed and loads of the folks there definitely weren’t Dads (or Mums) in age terms.
