Eastbourne Extreme - Saturday

Well it all started as a very much uphill struggle.

Firstly, the weather was very windy and quite wet till around 10am so the breakfast skate just didn’t happen!

Secondly, vandals had managed to pour sand on the basketball court arena, glass on the tennis courts and oil on the ramps at the skate park! It took me with some masterful sweeping with ESA Dave about an hour and a half to remove the glass. Dave had already been there hours sweeping sand before I arrived!

Once we’d dealt with all that, it was time for a few lessons and games, which was pretty much the order of the day from then on.

We managed a variety of skills, to a variety of people. Though almost everyone I taught (about 4 to 1) were already Sk8school customers and either knew we were teaching through the TXT event service or the newsletter bulletin!

So that all works then!

The rest of the skating side of the event kicked off properly by about 2p, with some half respectable crowds.

Max ran a splendid slalam competition and of course tonight is the highlight of the whole event…

The roller disco at the Redoubt fortress!

Roll on tomorrow!
