AGE:-??
such as it is. started back in 75/76......old roller skate bolted to hunks a wood. went on to get a supa skuda ,blue plexi glass or summat. open bearings. a whole buncha ve us used to skate doen the smoothest streets in ma neighbourhood. first decent board was an Alva 30/8(?)ACS trucks and wee green kryptonics(still have em) many boards came and went. got into slalom for a while...........went the usual....cheap deck.......g+s slalom deck..santa cruz slalom deck...ick stick. (also have a sims racing/turner summer ski). i enjoyed it more than i was good at it. managed a third in the scottish nationals,but as there was barely double figures competing,as i say doin it for fun. edinburgh had a bit of a scene with Dee and Ian Urquhart. we used to slalom round the back of the sports centre,happy days. Sadly Ian passed when i was 19/20.(1984/85?)..........pretty much stopped.i think Kenny Omond in Livi kept things going,but it was over for me. skated off and on since then,mainly off.dunno why but i feel like havin another blast...possibly a sad attempt to regain youth. getting a board set up via the moar excellent Surey Skates?via Focus in edinburgh. i will almost certainly fall and crack a hip or summat,but i could not give a flying fuck. the thot of that magic rolling board beckons again...
