Crystal Palace Slalom Session 17th April 2006
Bank Holiday Monday and a session was definately going down
approx 15 people hooked up for some sunny slalom time on the hallowed slopes of Crystal Palace
Sam Gordon was tearing it apart running some super fast offset courses
you could hear the urethane barking as his back wheels slid around the offsets
The Stride was fast as usual although a big bail in the 1st 10 mins of skating
which made him see stars did slow him down a bit (but only a bit, he was still fast,have no doubt about that)
Mog from Brixton Cycles, riding one of the new Skaterbuilt wood & Formica slalom decks
was stylin, making his fast times look totally effortless and silky smooth
Fran was even seen skating.
i laid down some quicker runs than i had previously managed working on my pumping technique (fran will thank me for that)
I even manage to let loose on a few surrender 360 slides on the steeper slopes of the Park
So next Session Hyde Park on thursday
ONLY 3 WEEKS TILL WASTELAND 2
