Anthem on eBay
Just letting people know that I’ve put my 158 Rome Anthem on eBay. It is an excellent board that’s worth a look… Oh, and there’s no reserve so you might just get a bargain
Protec Ankle Pads
My ankle was in a bit of a state after being hammered by the edge of my deck too many times – so I hooked myself up with some Protec ankle pads. Hopefully these will help a little… I wore the pads on Saturday night at the R-Kade skate park and they seemed pretty good. [...]
New Skate Shoes Bargain
It didn’t take long for my Vans to wear out. I didn’t buy them to skate in originally but that became their purpose. It was starting to get hard to ride in them because my foot was slipping forwards, and then out of the shoe… With a trip planned to the skate park in Redcar [...]

Riding with Music
A lot of people these days seem to ride with music playing. I hadn’t tried it until my recent trip to Chamonix… where I spent the last couple of days riding with some tunes playing. Beforehand I thought that it was going to be distracting, but it was actually not. There’s a little bit of [...]
