Dropping-In For The First Time

Saturday, April 22, 2006

Well, the short video of the rollerblader slamming seemed quite popular - so I thought it would be worthwhile posting something similar: Grant's first ever attempt to drop-in on a skateboard.

For those of you that don't know, Grant is one of my good friends; I work with him and we snowboard together with our other mates. Grant has started to skate a little - mainly for fun, but maybe also to keep fit too. I hope he doesn't get mad at me for posting this :-)

"What a Trooper"...

Mmmmm that bring back memories....mainly of pain and a big fat black bingo wing arm for the next three weeks.

Word of advice kids - when dropping in it is much less painful to fall forwards than backwards....DO NOT put your arm down like I did else...well visit SkidmarkCharlie.co.uk and look at the War Wounds photo album
