Nice one Gazza.
I had a few hours on a local mini today. Learnt 2 new tricks!

I had an unexpected skate at a very sunny Clitheroe today. The car exhaust went mental last night so I booked an hour or two off work to have it fixed. The job was done in twenty minutes but I thought 'f*ck it' and told work I needed the whole day off to have it fixed.
I did phone Sam to see if he fancied joining me but he was off with his wife and she had tied him up or something like that.

Skated Lake Cunningham, San Jose, today. WOW!

Holy shit Stu, you are living the dream!
First Granite, now this monster.
How high did you get on the 'monolith'?

How high did you get on the 'monolith'?

Not that high, rolled in off the big roll-in opposite and got a little way up the vert. Couldn't work out how to climb up to drop in of it.

Skated the Potrero park in San Francisco today. My brother lives two blocks away from it. Shame he's a bmexican, they don't allow bikes.

Yes, just off to DSP. The sun is shinning and my hair looks fab.

Whoopee.

Had a nice hour-ish down the bottom of my garden tonight - just before it got dark. Managed to do a few semi tricks.. Axle pivots, half arsed tail taps and whatever you call bs early grab airy things that stay bolow the coping..

Brilliant.

Topped it off with a beer. Now gonna top that off with a beer [repeat to fade].

....and don't forget to wash it all down with another beer.

Those parks look amazing Stu , but with no graffiti , or tab ends in the flat I'd really struggle. Any video footage??

Burton yesterday. Great session at a great park. Can't wait until I can get back there.

Any video footage??

Yeah, bought a new HD camcorder when over there. Will post some up when I work out how to edit HD footage.

Good skate at Crawley this morning. The park was not very busy, two of us skating the bowl with a few others having a quick run while we had a rest, then going back to the street bit. Left just after 12 completely knackered.

Popped into Mount Hawke today-Sunday, the vert has all gone. Just a big open space at the moment but new lights are up.
I skated Tuckingmill for an hour, it was fun. Today is my birthday I am 46 yrs old. shittin hell!

46?! Happy birthday you old fart!

Skated yesterday at cantalowes for the first time, a few hours just pumping and carving around getting used to it, then onto finsbury.
Finsbury again today, had a real good weekend, feels like its all coming back now, why the hell did I ever stop...

p.s. happy birthday trawler!

Pool . Scary little football shaped thing(american football),barely got coping (3 1/2' of vert).
Does that count ??

The past four days have been great, apart from Saturday when I had a stotting headache all day. Three hours at Clitheroe on Thursday, four hours at Runcorn on Friday, and four hours at Clithers again today. Plus the weather's been great cause of that Indian summer that I predicted, even though people poured scorn on me for saying so.
Didn't really do much new but every day was just so much fun and everything flowed nicely. Even falling off was a laugh. Brilliant!

(And my youngest, Amelia, finally got over her fear of busy skatparks by bombing round the place sat on my Bahari. That opens up more skating possibilities for yours truly, albiet with daughter in tow. Just need to teach her to stand on the thing now.)

Ciltheroe & Burnley.....I'm knackered

figured out that shinpads are a great idea for freestyle

Sadly not for a few days now.
My wife's Mum died of Lung/Liver Cancer- really sad & terrible time.

Be back soon

Managed to get a skate today at Bay66.Just 1 kid there when we turned up.
Rock'n'rolls are definitely back in my quiver now and I also threw in a nose grab to my fronside stand-ups.

Got a good session in at the "Black Metal!" mini Trawler mentioned a while back. Review and footage in "skate spots".

just read your review trevenen,a good cure for waxed coping is to "scrub" it with old offcuts of griptape,afterwards you really have to push your grinds-plus it pisses off the fruitbooters,they can't grind without wax they just slam a lot

Had a few lunch time sessions at yate this week.
look likes the council have started repainting the place.
fruit booters waxing the place to death yesterday

2 hours this morning at Stoke Plaza just rolling and practising ollies. Had the whole place to myself. Lovely, and knackering.

Had quite an enjoyable skate at Kings Park today, even though there were a few bandits about....

I told you what would happen if you went to watch that ballet.

Session at Skaterham for me.

Secret Mini ramp....slammed lots.

Skated a few times last week for about an hour or two, and skated today for a while, all undergrounds, truying to pefect my ollie to 50/50 and my nollie to tailstall but thay always seems to allude me.

for some reason, the weather out here in ontario has been almost spring-like for the past week or so...unfortunately, things will be reverting back to winter this week...but fortunately, i was able to get a few runs in at waterdown skatepark (albeit navigating between piles of snow). still too cold to skate for long, but it was good to hit the concrete again.

Skated Dartford for about 15mins.Damp floor and rusty coping.Went on to Crawley.The seepage from the seems in the main bowl are a bit of a problem.Got a decent skate out of the rest of the park though.Roll on summer.
