Good luck, bad luck

So yeah, someone took my Dropspeed from outside mah hoose last night. BIG SAD FACE. Anyone in soton sees the board on the right of the picture (orange otang inheat wheels, '09 dropspeed (snake) bear grizzlys and the obvious IoW grip), ask the guy about it etc get him to at least come see me about it or tail him home or something.
Also it's raining. DOUBLE BIG SAD FACE.

The new conundrum is: what's next? What random board will I pick out to ride around on next?
Mindless creeper (or maverick?)?
Lush Lopez or Elevator?
The latest dropspeed?
A homemade boarderX / skyhook'd commuter board?
Place bets now!

Additionally, after a really nice chat to Steve from Reskue Skate Store we are looking at support for the outlaw from our local! With any luck we're talking business over lunch on Monday, and we have a few teeshirts, whatever crap is in the dusty corners of the store cupboard and some mega stencils for the ramps. Talking of ramps, progress has been slow but things are getting there. Both kickers are up and the roll for the top is going to be started (regardless of weather) approximately 10 minutes after I publish this waffle of a post. Other items will happen as the rain clears as the glue's going to take some time to dry and it's going to be a bitch working on some of the big low elements while it's raining. Ikea's stash of £1 chipboard, although heavy, will probably be well used for rib structures, while the University has some promising looking heavy machinery boxes which I may try to pilfer over the weekend.

One last bit of news, Evans cycles are currently doing Bullet helmets at mega cheap so go check 'em out here:

Until next time, which will probably have pictures of ramps, Have fun and stay safe.
