Mad dogs and Cornishmen.

There are people out there who talk the talk and others who walk the walk.  I fall firmly in the first camp, but a little band of dedicated skaters have been working away on this little creation and I finally got down to check it out this weekend.

I'm pretty sure that the whole of the UK was covered in a thick blanket of wetness this weekend.  A few of us were employing some Positive Mental Attitude that turned out to be boarding on the delusional.  Having spent the best part of an hour removing puddles and mopping up it became apparent that the moisture was never going to let us win.

When faced with this reality Johners and I decided that there was only one thing for it.  Skate it anyway.  Johners wound up covered in wet concrete dust and both our boards are looking pretty ropey as a result, but you've got to take it where you can get it.

Here's a crappy bit of film evidence of the site visit.
