Yeah not very successful work wise today. All this skating chatter hasn’t helped and some new trainers arrived which always requires immediate unpacking and detailed analysis ---

Really tempted. Only the thought of a mid life crisis stopped me ordering the Templeton Cat deck 🙂 ---

Always been hopeless and terrified around skateboards, but a group of similarly aged mates of mine have got back into it over lockdown and have been loving it. So big up yourselves, sounds like a great thing physically, socially and mentally. ---

This video was a Game Changer. Saw the H-Street demo on a mini ramp and street set up in 1989 followed by the video premiere in a tiny room somewhere up north but can’t recall where. Whatever town it was they didn’t know what had hit them when the premier aftermath spilled onto the streets and everyone was skating like mad trying to recreate what they had just witnessed.

My son practically lives up there these days…has been a total lifesaver for him over the lockdown. He’s a bit too old now to have me in tow (bare embarrassing!), but seems like a pretty cool vibe whenever I have been up there, a great space Enjoy! ---

I watched that over lunch - he’s very creative which is always good, but he does crouch down a lot (like ye olde Frankie Hill). Also, not sure about grabbing out of board slides (also like Frankie Hill), but I’m being pedantic. ---

Been to Crystal Palace quite a lot but never actually went into the skatepark. It’s always mobbed so hopefully will be a bit quieter early doors. ---
