The following month sees us back on home shores. In fact, as shared organiser of the Hog Hill race, its a chance to give something back. Well, that's what the public face prefers to believe. The real agenda is to give British skaters a taste of good competition and encourage them to try the odd race abroad. More drinking partners, see.

International level credibility was brought by the Gang of Germany doing the fully-laden drive-by thang, with the Hookers of Holland ramped up on the bonnet of Donald's truck as he'd taken on roadkill in the lower countries. Pavel Race Team in full effect. Not bad considering that the Grenoble race was on the same day with wads of cash available to the victors.

We took them training. English style:

There was racing. I'm sure of it. Loads. And a fast GS. And a Dutch surfer who swept the boards.

Have I finished yet?

We camped overnight on top of a slab of cheap beer and crushed eidelwiss.

Ouch, my head. Even the tinies were fast that day.

1st place in the B group after qualifying low. My reaction times in the start gate were non existent, so the trucks and deck carried me though:

Great showing in Zurich of Team GB!

Those shorts. Well, Pelle had gone home. Someone had to handcuff down standards.

He was sent back to Sweden for going too quickly and wearing too much.

To paraphrase a line from "Snatch":
"Well, f*ck me, Sammy, what have you been eating?"
Well done, mate!

I said, "Oi Damien, No! You can stick your crazy artworks where the sun don't shine, but my G.O.Gs are staying one inch off the ground on a skateboard where they belong, in amongst the grit and plastic!"

Good for you, Sam. I doubt the formaldehyde would be good for the bushings, anyway.

I'm pretty sure that girl's a professional. Probably in a union. Definitely making more than minimum wage.

Sell my G.O.G.s Carsten??? Never!

Besides, the Virage trucks have a pack mentality.
