Nollie FS 180 Double Heelflips Learnt

The trick names I learn keep getting longer and longer! The latest addition to my trick book is a unique one I've never seen be done by anyone before, that is a Nollie FS 180 Double Heelflip.

You may recall a couple of months ago that I had learnt these trick with a single heelflip consistant. I did for that day but have lost the high consistancy since, still managing to do the odd smooth one but landing and then falling off of the majority. Today I got a brainwave, "why not try it with a Double Heel?". So as you might be able to guess, I did! I've been skating long enough now to know when it's going to be possible for me to land a trick and sure enough after 5 minutes I had gotten one. So I called over Recardo and got him to film me for a bit. Here are the clips, 3 of them uploaded into 1 on Youtube.

Was also able to film a trick which I'll use for my 2009 video part. It's nothing amazing but I don't want to say as it'll be a cool suprise when you do see.

Etnies Team Coming To UK!

I'm really stoked, the Etnies team are heading to The Works in Leeds, Rollersnakes shop in Derby for a signing and Bay66 in London for a demo. The biggest reason why I'm excited isn't because it's Etnies, it's because Ryan Sheckler is. He gets a lot of stick from skaters and I know why, I just hope when I see him he skates his heart out and does some sick stuff.

Not sure where I'm going to go, depends on what my mates want to do. It's most likely going to be Bay66 in London as it's more easier but will cost £20 travelling instead of car to Leeds so I just don't know.

Also close to buying a ticket to NASS, it looks good this year!

Little Skate Today

Went down ramps to meet Dan for a minute to buy some shoes and then decided to stay for a bit and have a skate. After an hour or so I had landed most of the grinds I am able to do and just haven't done in months due to the bad weather so I was happy.

Wes was trying FS 5-0's and had a few good attempts but still has a a way to go. He doing his BS Crooks much faster and smoother though, great to see him landing them!

This weekend will hopefully bring more game of skate matches. Ellis is having difficulties with him computer and therefore no matches have been edited yet. A shame but I can wait.

Game of Skate Started

Okay so me and Ellis planned a Game of Skate tournament for the locals of St Neots during the week and it started off yesterday. 16 of us and hopefully £1 per entrance will give us a prize fund of £10 or so for the winner (some people won't pay I can gurentee).

2 games started yesterday and that was Ellis beating Wiggy and me beating Marcus who took the place of Skiddy as he resigned.

I can't be bothered to post more now but my dad got a scanner the other day so I can scan in the sheets I recorded the games on and show them on here at a later date. Ellis has the 2 videos of the games too so when he uploads them I'll be sure to post a link here so you can see.

Met Adamregskater

So it's been years but I finally managed to meet Adamregskater who I originally met on Sk8Uk. I don't go on Sk8Uk anymore but I became friends with Adam anyway and have played PS3 with him and chat on MSN. Was cool for him to come to St Neots park as it's built for him, one of those skaters that will be destroyed in a game of skate but will tear up any type of terrain thrown at him. He had some nice big sweet airs and Blunt Fakie's we lush, I do envy his ramp skills.

As for my skating I had some good Games of Skate against his mate, one time setting the smoothest Nollie Double Kickflip I have ever done as well as staying on a Nollie 360 Double Flip.

Not sure when I will next skate, probably at the weekend as skiddy wants me to film him ride again.
