It's a nice looking afternoon, and I still need those teabags!

Definitely, you should get out. A Brit without tea is a dangerous combination 😂

Also, is that why the coffee is a 'good price' at your local bike shop?

Ha ha, yes the coffee is a good price, and the repairs cheap... But you come home with a strange looking bike 😂😂

You hit the nail on the head about skating. It's insane, pure and simple.

Once you learn how to Ollie and pop a few kickflips and grind blocks etc, it just sort of snowballs. The best way I can describe it is a bit like a drug experience if I'm honest. When you get to the point where you're advanced enough to go at rails etc, it is an extremely intense adrenaline high. I stopped when I was about 30 cause the doctor told me that I was risking permanent damage to my knees. But I can still remember the feeling of cruising about the city centre with music in my ears jumping on and off pavements, ledges, weaving through traffic even. That feeling of the city being like a playground is the best thing. The big tricks on rails etc, are something different. It's like pure adrenaline and buzzing off that with a bunch of other nutters, egging each other on to do more insane stuff. I don't miss that really, but the cruising through town creatively using the cityscape, I miss that big time. I still have dreams where I'm crusing about from spot to spot, never falling off my board no matter what I attempt. Ha ha, the dream is smoother than what the reality was.
