What an amazing day. Almost lost for words.
Please find below some utterly rubbish photos and even more rubbish reporting (newspaper article and my captions).
Dunno whether the mistiness of some of these pics is due to my rubbish camera, the weather, or the sheer joy of the day. Yes thesephotos areawful as ‘skate journalism’ but I don’t care. I was too busy having a good time.
I’m not even going to put words to all of these. I’ll explain a few, but mostly you can make it up for yourself.
Some slightly less than accurate reporting. Never mind, it’s positive.
Some community shots:
Mr Frontside.
Mr Creature – S.G., Good to see you.
Benson = great shadow
BS 360 slide from Adrian
Jamie’s air-to-sit-down (attempt number 8 or so)
Warren’s roll-up, turn-around and sit on board-and-roll-down-backwards trick. A class act.
AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!! Adrian wields his stroke-of-genius-board.
Gordon with something big.

Loads of people and action I totally failed to get a photo of. Sorry to anyone who isn’t pictured here.
Esp thanks to Colin Adam who destroyed himself as usual for the sake of a damn good show.
This is a man who definitely earns his professional status, time after time. Sorry, I didn’t get any shots of you… or many other folk for that matter.
Thanks to everyone that came!!!!! Come again. You don’t need an excuse of a fun-day / jam.
Please feel free to email us some photos (which are doubtlessly going to be better than these) and we’ll try and get them uploaded.

BTW: We never actually managed to have anything resembling a “serious” competition, it was far too nice a day to worry about stuff like that.
There is still ‘product’ and THE TROPHY BOLT to hand over… Stay tuned for details of an upcoming “Serious” (Ha!) “proper comp.”
