Rick was up in Aberdeen at the new park on Saturday galvanting around for Skateboard Scotland 😉 while I was hard at work in Dudhope burning off all the pies I ate during the week in the office. I also managed to take a few snaps. It’s a good thing I don’t pretend to be a proper skate-photographer…
Ok… this is a bail, but it’s a beast of a pocket to ollie into, and I like this angle on it.
Alan did eventually land a bunch of these, but never when I had a camera on him.
Here’s another angle on that ollie line. I did witness him landing them eventually so I can safely put these in.
Sorry… I wanted skate, not hang about taking photies. I can also truthfully say; my one battery is rubbish and ran out mercifully quickly…
Mr Casual – McCafferty on the 50 tip.
BTW… notice some extra slabbing up the slope in the background, 2 more rows of paving slabs (unasked for,) beautifully retaining the dirt at the top with a bonus curb, of sorts. Thanks to the hard working peeps at the Dundee City Council Parks Dept.
Hats off to the lads, please. Honestly. You have no idea. Park users be thankful.
Kohler rocks these ollies.
This is Freddy from the Czech Republic, blessing us with a hat-off layback slide in the keyhole. He’s a nice guy. Freddy lives and works in Kirkcaldy, and showed up with a bunch of other Czech guys (bladers /bikers) one of whom managed to break his shoulder right in front of me… wot a bummer. I hope he got to the hospital ok.
End of the Day. Job well done.
Eat more pies.
PS:If you are a regular skatepark user and would like to be able to use the place after dark; please feel free to write to the council,politelyrequestingsome lights…
