Today I'm in the Drakensberg mountains attending a wedding (this has to be one of the most beautiful spots in the world to tie the knot), watching the clouds change the incredible mountain vista in front of me. This is also the final day of the 2009 Dusi Canoe marathon, set in the same provence, [...]

I went on another skate mission tonight.. I meant to go straight to Alexandra Palace and back, but somehow managed to get a bit lost and do an entire loop, which in the end was worth it to bomb down Muswell Hill Well, I say it was worth it, but the route was a [...]

They handle wonderfully and I'm particuarly chuffed about the liners, which are a perfect [...]

New wheels and bearings. The old ones were completely shagged, so this felt super smooth. I swear you need a lot less energy with a good setup.

Another self-present this weekend. Been after some of these badboys (the gloves) for ages for surf-style inline skating, but it was also so much fun on a skateboard, I went right back to the shop and bought carve trucks.
I had never heard of anyone using slide gloves with inlines; they're born out of [...]
