Skateboarding

I think a similar thread may already exist? Anyway, i'm sure alot of people skate or used to skate on this forum. I really want to get back into it, we should organise a night skate session??

Drunkenly at my family do on Sat I agreed to take my 13 yr old cousin skating in the new year. I think he will school me :(

oooo! haven't skated for about 4 years! all i could do back then was ollie, grind and fakie ollie. heh! would love a skate session, hopefully with equally lame riders. hahahah! :D

isn't this a bike forum? :P

Don't go there Richey...

where did i put that fixed skate vid.... oh. wait.....

would be well up for a skate session.
hadn't skated for years, but skated a few bowls over the summer...
there's one in a youth centre just past camberwell art college (on the way to peckham), its pretty mellow and nice - there are rails all round the edges and a little fun box + plus basketball courts etc.

Oh def, it's always fun to get wrapped up and go for a skate at this time of year. Would 100% be up for this - suggest any dates?

Im up for a skate meet as well, anytime between xmas and NY's?

I'm well in to skating

I think I live near that one, is it down commercial way?

im definetly on a night skate session, i havent been skating in ages, would be good to get back on the board.

i know loads of spots around central london too, would be a good idea to bring bike and boards in bags so we can go from spot to spot

Id consider coming down for a skate, easier to get a board on the coach than a bike. Might bring both if I find a cheap train ticket.

Also a one trick pony (heelflip) havent ridden in 5 years or something..!

Hells yeah.

The plan is to head down to Playstation in the new year with a few friends for the first time in years. Should be a laugh...

Do people wanna go indoor parks then?

Oh that wasn't me announcing a plan for everyone else...that's just a plan I had with some other friends from a while back.

if anyone is willing to fork out for PlayStation i'd be on a session because i love that place so very much.

@ daveypants
i know, you just threw me onto the question of where people want to go

ye playstation is good, but best to wait until the holidays are over becase during school holidays its a mad house. it called baysixty6 now or xbox 360 and its completley changed from past years now including a room just to play xbox and it comes up to 1.50 an hour so a full session is 7 quid or something. but definetly a good idea to go sometime soon

I'm up for a session too, it's been ages since I was last on my board. playstation is good, or even cantelowes which also has the benefit of being free!

i refuse to ever call it baysixty6 though! i had a spat of going there this summer holidays... fucking love it there.

also has the benefit of a bunch of trampy portuguese cunts snaking you.

i skated almost every day from 12 - 26... last time i skated in south bank i stacked coming back fakie on the bank and it took me ages to be able to stand up, i value my wrists (& knees) way too much to skate anymore... since then skate one in milan with crabtrees mate, i was so crap all i could do was ollie, and then not always, very depressing...

so if anyone want's to buy a complete set up, will a blueprint deck, very little use, hit me up, will check what trucks and wheels tonight...

bottom looks like this top looks a bit like this

=)

Ive never been able to skate well enough to warrant going to a indoor park with ramps. Always wanted to have a roll around some concrete bowly type things, london has a few places right?

Meanwhile gardens in Ladbrooke grove is lovely for that - not sure if its still there though, last time I heard it was sinking into the ground or something :s
