Morning folks, long time no writing....My apologies - I moved house last Wednesday but as yet do not have a working BT phone line, nor did I feel inclined to nip into work to use their connection. Shame really, as loads has been going on.
Firstly, you don't have to be an eagle-eyed viewer to spot our new fantastic graphics, lovingly created by *WiL* of Decreate and Remolition. A big, big thank you for your hard work and talent!
A couple of freeride meets in the pipeline, depending on how far you wish to travel - Hemlock Stone this weekend (originally planned for weekend just gone but postponed). The link takes you to the Surfing Dirt discussion thread.
Alternatively, if you wish for something bigger, Sunday 20th March sees the monthly freeride meet moving to Llantrisant forest, South Wales with good interest already. The SD discussion thread is here. If interested sign up on the FB page here.
In the more distant future is the large Allestreee Park meet up with information here, and then not long after, the 2011 ATBA comps start. It really is quite busy busy!
Back to now though and a quick word about my garage. In a nutshell, I'm quite excited by the possibilities and potential of the space. Rough dimensions are 15' x 9' wide with a nice, high ceiling with the only limitations that one corner has to accommodate the washing machine and that I have to leave room to allow the wife's car occasional access.
The jobs to do in no particular order then are to:
- add in extra power points to allow the use of tools in all areas;
- build a workbench for some of the heavier jobs;
- build a rack to keep the boards out of the way / display;
- build worktop space for various repair / maintenance tasks.
- generally have some sort of system to keep everything tidy whilst being accessible....
Last, but not least is news that the Derby Skatepark has started already with plenty of digger action taking place right now. Plenty of news and pictures up on the Derby Skateboard Project blog.
That's all for now...back soon!

nice 1 Ade ;)
Recommend 3 or 4 deep shelves up to the ceiling above the washing machine, bottom shelf slatted, lovingly crafted out of 2be1. Or maybe a wall-mounted cupboard, leaving plenty of space on top of the machine itself for dumping sweaty pads etc. Boom!
really with dimensions like that you have got to thinking can I fit a mini (of the skateboarding kind not the car) car in and will my wife mind?
