Pala Full pipes, since andrew
or I had never been in a full pipe .. this was a blast .. more pics to follow...but
the bee hives were a little bit of a issue ... i will come back to that later
....
Clinton Keith Pool,
Due to Pala Pool being rammed we head over to Clinton Keith to have our trial
by fire and our first glimpses of a true pool, I know I just stared to smile
from ear to ear when I saw no fuckers was there and we had the place to ourselves,
while Huggins and I swept up and Mark Centre got the tunes wired up and blasting
out, (you can't skate without tunes dude)
We just couldn't believe that
we were finally in California and stood in a real life pool with real coping
and had once been full of water and the love seat / death box and would have
had people swim in.
Just where do you start, I guess
by seeing how the hell it rides and I seemed to always be the crash test dumb
on this trip went first (I will come back to that later)
20 minuets later and it was just
work out your lines and start pushing more and work the hips and attempt that
shallow end stuff.
We were really skating A POOL
..... Awesome Dude, (yes they talk like that out there in California).
The hours past and our progress
wasn't as slow as we expected, our time at ROM for Huggins and Stockport for
me had paid off .... phew, it was a great relief to me knowing I had not wasted
10 hours on a plane and 300 quid.
The is was time to go skate a
real ditch ....
Not as easy as we thought, but
this had been cleared and had some coping on, see second pic, mr Huggins axel
stailing on it, but id had a nice long curve that was great to carve around.
