Some great stories here.
I’ve gone hardcore with my quads. Bauer boots, Sims Street Snake wheels with MVM Hoodoo Race bearings. Toe stops are shite need to replace those. Otherwise great purchase from Skate Attack in Finsbury Park.
I grew up on a huge council estate in Gospel Oak NW5 aka ‘the flats’, mostly asphalt surface was a dream to skate on.
Our mis-spent youth going to the south bank around the undercroft in the early 80s mixing it up with the bmx and skateboard crews.. zooming up and down Waterloo station concourse before heading to the underground, sliding down escalator handrails at speed, to land on our feet. No protection pads, gloves or helmets.
