OK, I'm writing this on Sunday morning (ish) and I must say I'm aching. Snowboarding on Friday night was excellent; a quick drink and bite to eat afterwards meant I fell into bed around 2am Saturday morning - with the prospect of leaving the house at 9am to go skating at the R-Kade skatepark in Redcar...
It was worth it. I'm not quite sure what it was about the session but it was brilliant. Maybe it was the McDonald's breakfast the Mike, James and I had on the way there? Was it the slush puppy afterwards? Or was it just the craic that three mates enjoyed on a skating trip...
The weird thing was that we were all tired. And rusty. It seemed like ages since we had last skated. But - after a sketchy warm-up things started to come together. We ended up playing around on the mini ramps and it was so much fun.
The mini ramps at R-Kade are so good. They're excellent for learning new stuff. I started to rock and roll with some consistency and also learned to axlestall. Sick! Check out two little clips of Mike and myself...
The day was hepled by glorious weather. It was really hot inside the skatepark - so at the end of the session we decided we'd earned a slush puppy and a rest on the beach. Throwing around what turned out to be the most poorly constructed frisbee ever, for 15 minutes topped off a great morning. When are we going next?

OI!!!
That is a proper competition weight frisbee - i know cos its mine!!
Give it to me and I will show you how it works - I can make that thing fly upside down and come back of the deck. The fact it has been used as an ashtry and the top is coming off doesnt matter.
...and it glows in the dark...
Grant, the only way I'm gonna let you show me how to throw that frisbee is if you get off you ass and come skating! :-)
