Skatemeet Number 1: London

Starting early in the afternoon at 5pm,Bay 66 Skatepark was packed out with rollerbladers from all over.Some had come from around an hr away for a sick session.The tricks starting coming fast and hard with the boys from Kent leading the way.



Dan tillet was throwing himself into 540 royals,then 540 kindgrinds and im sure i saw him try a 540 to ally-oop soul.When he was done with the ledge he starting ripping the vert ramp with true mizou’s and tech grinds.Rob Nunn was another standing out sessioning the ledge with Dan with tricks of his own including 360 sweatstance,fakie 360 to ally-oop soul and 540 topsouls.Seeing this pumped the kids up to try some stuff of thier own and pushing themselves to new hights within thier own ability surprising even themselves and juicing the session up.
Oli Short came also and gave everyone a lesson on how to ride the new section of the park including the spines and bowl area and showing us his unique mini skills and spins.Sean Cullen made time out of his busy schedule of his filming session just long enough to skate the park and get a wallride off the mini ramp over the door to 180 grab off..
Like always,the skating got the better of me and i didn’t end up shooting as many photo’s as i needed for this article but i guess thats what skatemeets are all about.Turning up and getting juiced to skate and having fun.Big thanks to everyone who came out and too all the skaters who made the effort and the sponsers who provided products out of thier own pockets for the event to make it a great day.Here’s some pics i took in between skating..

I hope to see everyone at the next one at Camden Skatepark
