The most freaking awesome skate video I’ve seen all week. I’ve been talking about wanting to get back into skating, which I stopped doing about 5 years ago, and this video has just given me that little boost I needed to get my deck out the shed and go shred some park.

FUCK FUCK FUCK!!! I just wrote a whole god damned blog post about these stupid fucking skate decks and didn’t arsing press save! Fucking hell I’m an idiot. So here’s a shortened version (because I can’t be bothered with writing out the whole bloody thing again) of what I wrote before…

The other day I found these old boards in my house from when I used to skate about 5 years ago (do you like my spotty socks?). I remember wanting to keep them because I was going to paint them all up good and turn them into book shelves to fix onto the wall.

I never actually got round to doing that and as these one’s are so chipped, worn and scratched I probably never will. I might do it in the future with nice new decks and do them properly to go in a nice house. Also, I might put my trucks onto that Element board as it’s still in pretty good condition and I want to get back into skating because I miss it and because I want to keep fit.

I just had a look around for some ideas for skateboard designs and found these awesome ones by Space Invader, an awesome tile street artist. I was recently reminded about Space Invaders awesomeness when I went to see Banksy’s film ‘Exit Through The Gift Shop’ at a secret screening in a tunnel underneath Waterloo Station.

Anyway, so what you’ve learned from this blog post is three things…

- Space Invader is awesome

- I’m going to get RAD at skating again

- I have spotty socks

There, well done. You can get back to whatever it was you were doing before, but happier than when you were doing it before.
