Stoked!

Still my preferred medium-distance transport.

I’m starting a mini-klunker trend. Just waiting for some tall BMX bars to put on. Coaster hub on the back. Chainguard means I can rock big trousers.

Why do they always carry such big bags?

Delivering Greggs to the lazy nowadays. I remember when it was all tubes with architects’ plans, now it’s pastries.

Is the video online yet? Hyped to see it!

What is this and why is it the best thing ever?

Help me find one!

I love a shopper - this is ace (although I’ll have to see it with BMX bars before I form an opinion on that. :thinking:)

Next week at some point I think

Nice board. TG is doing a gig in London in April I think. Come down!

Oh man that sounds good!

Got a mean cold last week, had to stay in bed during my 2 days off on Thursday and Friday then worked during the weekend. Was still feeling a bit weak this morning but had the day off, got up early and did loads of things. Got a bottle of Talisker (aged 10 years), Welsh cheese (Snowdonia Red Devil), got a very good phone call from one of my supervisors at work then went skating and did two tricks I had never done. Now having a cuppa with Jaffa cakes, chilling with my cats. Yeah yeah yeah.

Oh, saw this on Instagram and thought about the forum too:

My sons new school is right next to a ā€œskateparkā€ - a very loose description. As I pick him up at lunchtime (long story) I’ve been surprised to see that it is actually fairly well used considering how crap it is and how near it is to Stoke Plaza.

I’m probably older than the young lads parents so it’s likely be a bit weird rocking up like that Steve Buscemi meme!

Absolutely not at all. Everybody skateboards nowadays.

True. Might rock up one day a bit early, push like hell around the park for 5 mins without doing anything else then go grab my lad… :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

A few years back I was at a local park trying to have a quiet skate and ā€˜enjoying bants’ with a group of young lads - ā€œYou’re oldā€ ā€œAre you Tony Hawk?ā€ ā€œYou must be really good… oh. You’re notā€ etc - and when one of their Mums turned up to tell him it was tea time she was from my class at high school.

It’s fine.

Haha, that’s ace.

Probably going to Chuck my set up in my boot along with shoes and see what happens after I’ve dropped him off in the morning. Feels like the only time I’m going to get to skate at the minute.

Another one that still makes me lol…
(and while I’m waiting for a blue bar of progress on some work stuff)

Doing my best to ignore heckles from two teenage girls…

Girl1 ā€œyou don’t say much do you?ā€
Me ā€œmy mum told me not to talk to strangersā€
Girl1 ā€œmy mum told me to f*** ā€˜emā€
Me (lolling internally) ā€œI know your mumā€

The change in her personality was like flicking a switch. Instant butter wouldn’t melt.
