The last few weeks of term are always the most hectic. Reports, parent's evenings, summer performances, assemblies, moving-up days and to top it of everyone is getting stressy and the kids are acting bonkers. So when last Friday rolled around I was a happy bunny.
The basement, or Unit19 as it's called is up and running. been skating it loads. it really is the most perfect mini ive ever skated. And I have a key. That's 24 hours a day enrty if I want it.
The BeatsWalkin crew stayed on Friday night en route from Barnstaple to Dover. They are skating across europe to raise money for the Boardfree charities. I treated them to pizza and we skated at the new ramp till 1 in the morning. t'was a jolly good night. They are a top group of lads and have the right approach to this longdistance skating malarkey - not taking it/themselves too seriously. Meeting Bam made me re-assess the rollsrolls I'm riding. He is riding a LBL deck and it seems a lot more suitable.. watch this space.
Then yesterday the annual Lush Summer Jam happened at Slades. Slades isn't really my cup of tea, but the longboarders had a great day. There were loads of people there and the sun shone. Met up with rich from lush and had a good old chinwag and compared T4s! After lunch we decided to go and find a hill for a slide/bomb and drove round for a while till we hooked up with a few locals in the know. I'm new to sliding but they were killing it.
I cracked open the leathers and had a good old blast.
Been getting on the case with the NZ route today and went to look at video cameras. Getting excited now!!
