Monday 19 July 2010

A little while ago, I think it was June most of the crew, forming of Marcus, Alex, Aaron, Kev, Jeremy, Josh and new temporary lurker Ed found themselves in Amsterdam via a £38 return coach journey.

Aaron won it, 1st place. That's what happens when you get busy 24/7. Fair dues to him. Of course on here it's going to be biased, but 12 months ago Aaron was working as a street sweeper drawing in the same wage in a month as he'd get in 30 minutes in a contest. That's what happens when you've got bills to pay and suddenly the life of a sponsored/pro skateboarder seems less glamorous. Nonetheless, Aaron wasn't fazed and skated as if it were a session with his mates at his local park.

Our filmer Josh, lost the tape with the majority of the comp footage in Burger King in Amsterdam's Amstel coach station. I found some footage online with most of the comp footy in for you to check out.

I have photos of Aaron with a trophy being pissed somewhere and a few of us climbing the "I AMsterdam" statue somewhere, as well as photos of us in Burger King in Leidseplein when England drew with the USA in the worldcup elsewhere. But I doubt they'll make it up on here.
