UK Downhill Skateboard Champs










Wearing leathers and a full face helmet and going over 40 mph.
I was in the annual UK championships at Bude for 5 years 2002-2006.
I crashed as much as I finished in the top ten.

One year I was reaching for the line and the second place guy
fell onto me and rugby tackled my legs.
I was disqualified for crossing the finish line in mid air?


















2006 I hit the fence at 45mph.
It was real painful and I never raced again after that.

SUPER SIXTIES





There is a lot of LIFE magazine photos whizzing around blogs at the moment.
This is one of my favourites

Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.



















My favourite film ever.

Greedy Americans in some cool cars
chase after 350 thousand G’s
buried under a big “W”
Just Mad
