Longboarders in London

Today...

2008-05-05T14:30:00.000-07:00

Today we hit the road from Marble Arch, all the way to Kensington gardens; then, Portobello Road and West Kennsington: all the way down, in the middle of the council states, till Shepherds Bush.
The only obstacles, as usual (that u need to slalom carefully!) were the (thousands of) rollerbladers
, the children wid all sorts of acessoires (like balls or small bikes) and also some old ppl (god bless them!).
It was Damm good! :-)

For those who dont know her, Peggy Oki was (the only) girl from the Dogtown crew. She is also a environmentalist, an artist and a surfer :-)
I recogn a good inspiration for all the sk8r grls around the world (at least for me)!
Peace PeggyX

Friday Night Sk8n

2008-04-24T05:34:00.000-07:00

Hello, for anybody who is interested, this is my propposal for friday night =:->:
We meet at Holland Park Tube Station at 18:30h, and then we go down to Holland Park (through the cycle lane, past the side), to end up in the big downhill that comes to high street kensington. Past that, we just sk8 till South Kennsington, and then hit the underground tunnel, which hopefully will be empty around that time...
After that, its open. We can go for instance to Soho (and stop for a drink), and then ride back home (or anywhere else u wanna go).
Here is the map (sort of):

Happy Christmas, etc

Sk8 season and the Carnival

2007-08-23T09:48:00.000-07:00

Despite the sk8 season seems to go to a close end this weekend it's the notting hill carnival.
No sk8 because of the crowd but definitely a lot of fun.

I am seriously thinking about surfing..but that's another story.

Have fun and be careful with GHB...

2007-08-05T16:27:00.000-07:00

Finally it stoped continously raining and the streets are dry and sunny, all ready for sk8boardin! :-)
These are my top five sk8in spots at the mo:
- Oxford Street pavement between Oxford Circus and Marble Arch (oustide rush hours)
- High Street Kensington pavement (all the way!) , also outside rush hours.
- Car park underneath Marble Arch.
- Green Park downhill
- Pentoville road downhill

World Naked Bike Ride UK Part 3

2007-06-11T13:44:00.000-07:00

The saga continues

World Naked Bike Ride UK Part 2

2007-06-11T13:36:00.000-07:00

Here are some other pics. After the ride Julian went to Bonnington Cafe for some good veggie food. I reached him later and we skated to Romfort (road, street) for the a weird party in a squat.
After this, I lost Julian because he was chatting with a nice lady...
I skated to a reclaim the beach party near london bridge, thanks Mark for towing me.
You can see the mixed skate and bike crew that join the party after the ride...

World Naked Bike Ride UK

2007-06-11T13:10:00.000-07:00

On Saturday we joined the World Naked Bike Ride UK!!!
Well, actually we were not into protest thing but more into the "open streets free to ride"...

It was amazing! Especially at the end from Marble Arch to Hyde Park riding on empty streets and all downhill!

Here are some pics I took during the day. You can see two riders we met that day, I guess their names are Will and Amish but not sure...Guys if you see this get in contact with us!

Best trick of the day: Julian falling on Westminster Bridge. Note: Julian was totally naked as you can see him from the picture above.

Jo was missing...partying (naked?) somewhere else in England.

Skate Electric

2007-05-27T06:40:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I saw some guys with electric skateboards hanging around Notting Hill...
Uhmm sounds good for lazy people..but where is the fun about longboarding then?
The website is a bit odd and poorly designed...
Take a look if you want

Yesterday night and today

2007-05-16T04:34:00.000-07:00

The weather is better today...so I am bringin' my board with me.
Hopefully after work I could ride around Covent Garden.

Last night a lot of fun in Tesco...

Maybe tomorrow

2007-05-15T03:40:00.000-07:00

Today the weather doesn't seem to allow for any ride at all..
I was thinking of doing some indoor skateboarding with my flowboard

Aahh another idea... Why don't we play dodgeball?
Remember the five rules:
dodge
duck
dip
dive
and dodge

Beginning of a new week

New Board

2007-05-12T10:10:00.000-07:00

So Im thinkin bout buying dis board:

Its got 46 inches, a slightly convex deck and kriptonic wheels. What do u think?

P.S.: U wont imagine how EXPENSIVE are the slalom boards!

Riding today

2007-05-12T07:56:00.000-07:00

Although I woke up now...(jee yesterday night was hard!)
In four minutes I am supposed to be to a green bowling party (!?)
Today no riding :( too much water around
But maybe it's worth a try...
Uhmm I have never been an angel...

Hi :-)

2007-05-12T06:49:00.000-07:00

I was just thinkin that we should get ourselves a name...
after a lot of thoughts, I decided to baptize us as:

Mindless Angels

It sounds slightly religious, but it also as (I think) a lot of good karma!
Let me know what u think...

Mindless Jo

P.S.: I think one day, we're probably get the mindless sponsorship... ;-) its worth to try!

Hello Board!

2007-05-11T09:32:00.000-07:00

Hello everyone!
This is the first for the new born blog of three lazy and cool longboarders in london...
We will try to show you some nice places where you can have fun with your longboard.
Maybe some serious downhill or just a nice smooth pavement where you can carve and have that amazing surf feeling...
You will also learn a bit more about us: who we are, what we do and what we like.
If you fancy that why don't you join us for a ride?
So...let's rock on roll
