Hello, it's been a long time.
Basically, I thought I'd give you guys an update. Sorry, that sounded sexist. I'll give our fans (cough) an update. We're still skating in Ipplepen, but we've gone further afield to places such as Flowerpot in Exeter, that has a great layout, with an excellent mini ramp and concrete drops etc. Everyone's pretty confident now, hundreds of new lines have been discovered to skate, adding to the enjoyment and enlightening our days. Blair is wowing the Coombesheadians with his mental rock to fakies, axel stalls and tricks that have never been done before (mainly because he mucks up and old one and somehow invents a new one XD). Jack Baker is shredding the mini as well, with Axel stalls, and VERY dodgy tail stalls his new favourites, and he's still landing the old favourite, the pop shuv it, but on angled slopes. Zach, as the best in the beginning, has had to cope with us catching up, but he's added new tricks to his trick arsenal on the quarter pipe, including a fakie pivot (turning the board 180 into a rock fakie) and was the first to master rock and rolls. I personally, still enjoy riding the ramps, pumping as much as possible to unlock new lines, and utilizing the parks layout to its full, and adding some tricks such as Rock fakies, fakie rocks, fakie pivots and very sketchy axel stalls into the mix. George seemed to go off skating for a while, but we're trying to coax him back in. We haven't seen Porchy and Hinks for a while, (I miss Tom's camera, it was the best we've had lol) but on the last visit Tom was still pulling off pop shuv its, and some very impressive and long manuals. Hinks is pulling off some high ollies as well, and generally getting to know the park. Well, that's basically the story. Hopefully we'll remember this corner of the interweb and keep you posted.
