My body is a skate park!

Poppy was playing with a finger board on her legs, and we caught her catching some rad air, giving a running commentary, "wow! he's so high!", "look at the ollie!", fantastic.

Can you make me a...

Can you make me a pumpkin car please daddy?

Got some Lego out today, some limited stuff (all the good stuff is in the shed... must rectify!) - but, we built the worlds raddest skatepark, along with krazy german TV cameraman, looking to film "very rad footage, ze best zat German TV has evah seen!) - anyway, after a rad sesh with 2 skateboards (made from two twozer wheels) and a BMX (steering wheel, 2 mono wheels and a single 4zer...) we decided to make some "proper" vehicles.... pumpkin red mobiles, the way forwards (and back, they are so rad).

Now that's a lot of...

Now that's a lot of rope!

with my peacock visual arts exhibition coming up, I'm scurrying around picking up all my materials, and amazing! Tim rankin from transition extreme has kindly given me a load of old rope! No money needed! You are a toff tim!

Rad! Front side...

Rad! Front side slash grind!

props to craig barrowman and crew for the mobile shanty town and skate ramp - good times with some old school dudes. Happy peeps.

That's the best thing...

That's the best thing I've seen in ages!

Some very kind words from Joe Coleman (Transition Extreme, Skatepark manager) - when I dropped in to show him (and Ashley Bird) my interactive digital installation / image-maker... projecting the "image abstraction" from a webcam (real-time feeds of skaters / BMXers in the skate park). Here's to taking this a step further, and having an interactive digital art evening in Transition Extreme!... watch this space.

I'm spinning it with my body...

I'm spinning it with my body and I should be doing it with my feet

I keep over rotating a show it to disaster on the bank... I keep telling my body to stop traveling into it, but, it just won't listen - my feet...want to do all the work, but my torso keeps saying "weeeeee".

Oh! and the thumb...

Oh! and the thumb grabs the shoe and the tail!

After a very invigorating and positive day at work, I treat myself to a skate... and I've got tail grabs down out of the 5ft quarter pipe. A tricky sod to grab, I think I'm getting them down - finally!... something more than "just" a melanchollie!
