Skating a pool? No? Anyone?

So here goes..

I'm so shit. look at me 'I'm gonna blog all the time' Halliday.

Well it's been a while. But have I had an amazing week.

1stly i meet up with Paul and Mark from gravity parks. Looks like they are going ot build a park 2 minutes from my front door. Here are the designs they put forward to the council. Let's just say.. they have changed somewhat. Looks like we might have the best mini on the south coast to play with.

Then they only go and finish Verwood. This bowl is goddam perfect. It's like a mini Epic. 5 ft deep end, 4 ft shallow. Escalaltor, extension and 25 degree hip. Jumped the fence and have skated it loads. B.D.P. and the Brizzle Crew are coming for a skate this weekend - Session on!

THEN! Me and Hol went for a lush walk along the seaside this afternoon. Gran had to go for a Doctor's appointment and it turns out I have my board and Hol has her camera in the car!!
So I get to skate a POOL. No, infact I get to skate 'The pool that I have swam about in for the last 20 or so years'.
To be honest it was without doubt one of the highlights of my 30 years on this earth. To skate a transitioned pool, in the U.K. without having to barge it. I am still grinning. Yup 10 hours later, still grinning.



This evening at the Basement was heaving, 14 people. Mark and the London Crew came down so it was hectic. Madness. Every time you went to drop in there were 3 other decks ready to roll. Just like the old Southsea days. Ty got front and back smiths on the extension. madness.
I was doing my usual hooning around, tho I feel more into 50-50's than ever before.

oh and I scrawled on my deck this evening. Represent! Five Points Skates!

So thisweekend looks like a blinder. Verwood or Basement on Friday night. Hyde Park on Saturday (Meeting up with DaveBoardFree) Possible scoot on slalom. Then Verwood with the Brizzle massive on Sunday. Roll on the weekend.
