Fell on my head skating a handrail in Paris during the heat wave in 2003. Gnarly concussion, got taken to a hospital by ambulance. Arrived at the hospital, was told to go back to Switzerland to get sorted out as the hospitals were full! I could barley walk. Ended being thrown on a bed in a massive dorm where loads of seniors were dying. It wasnāt cool.
TLDR: if you get hurt in France, well, do not get hurt in France, or die straight away.

Yeah, a friend broke his pelvis skating in France, some other mates had to hire a van, stick a mattress in the back and drive him back to the UK.

Itās very horrible. I broke mine about 10 years ago when I came off my board. I had internal bleeding and I needed a blood transfusion. In intensive care for a week and couldnāt walk for 3 months. But you do make a complete recovery in the end.
Found a Dictaphone in one of our office clear outs (alongside some tidy Sony heaphones). I know you could use a phone, but I wanted a separate device for doing voice recordings out and about.
I got of my rut of anxiety/confidence with recording some stuff Iāve wrote down and sent off the recordings to my mate, who Iām hoping can work out a track or two with what I sent. Been on about doing this for months and I didnāt want him thinking it was one of those things youād say you do for someone and never do, when youāre a few bevvies deep haha.
If not I donāt mind, as Iām just glad to have finally recorded them and can use them for something else if not.

Went skating. Waxed a curb. Filmed myself doing some horrid looking stunts, but whatever, had a good time and also landed a sketchy 5-0 which was pleasing. If Iām feeling brave might actually plonk something on Instagram.
Heading towards 45 Iāll take what I fucking canā¦
