here in peterborough in about 2 years, but i dont go to the skateparks anymore... most you see are boarders and bmxers. they piss me off. Blading is so much cooler.

yeah me too - i live in the sticks (scottish borders) but you hardly see anyone (in edinburgh etc)
i like bmx - looks really good and is fucking hard - as is boarding but no-one ever lands anything. skating is so much more accessable and the tricks are a lot more impressive. much better for street stuff too because you can use anything - more variety than boarding.
ah those were the days - breaking into factory carparks because they had one small rail that was low enough to jump onto ;)

we went into an abandoned warehouse where they had old machinery around, and down to the riverside, they had a HUUUGEEEEEEE handrail there, i was first to grind and land it :D!
was crazy tho, cos the guy after me, Danny, went straight into the river :P The Idiot tried a Kind Grind down it and didnt notice the water edge was so close :D

i'm skint.
i built a fuckoff big beast of a launch when i was about 15 - so big you had to go full pelt down a slope to get any kind of lift off it and it chucked you to fuck. not the best so we cut it in half and it was class.
still sitting in front of my garage, rotting slowly ;)
got to go now - i'm making a pixel ninja animation
but keep the spirit alive..
and enjoy your new shit!
