How much fun was THAT!!??! The best weekend of the year for me without doubt. I want to thank absolutely eveybody that was there. Thank you, thank you, thank you etc. Far too many people made it great to name you all because it's was everyone there that made it special. Too many stories to remember! (but getting the crowd to do a mexican wave all around the hairpin was great!) Top marks to Tom, Norman, Kris, Marcus and Eimer and EVERYONE else involved - we all love you dudes!! Peace - see you next time or sooner hippyneil. PS ache...ache...ache...ow...hurty...ache...ache etc

YESSSS!
This surely has to have been the BIGGEST, BEST organized and most inclusive event downhill event EVER held in the UK - - - to quote the dreadhead-northern-carver-dude (who i'm sorry I don't know the name of) who was on the mike on Sunday....
THIS IS DOWNHILL YEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
A lot of folk must have bust their balls working to make this HAPPEN - so THANK YOU the awesome Tom W and UKGSA, Eastbourne council uber-dude Norman (I heard the council put in £11,000!!!!?), LUSH, Eimer, and the sponsers GO FAST, and ANYONE else who lifted a finger to help the common cause.
Was good to see folk from all over the place - LOngy, Wookie, Pete, Muzz, Gravity KIng and BUmp, Brizzle Team Smash, Rich + RIvers, Ade's LOndon skaters, Max basejumpin Hurd, Stridey, Cess+son Duncan, BOS, JA, HOlden, Hippy Neil, Casper etc etc etc etc etc ...
and to be honest it was just fukin full on great to be skating downwhill again.
HIghlight for me was the tailwind on Sunday which spiced the right hander up a treat!
Not that it's about winning but we had to leave before podium time so WHO WON???!!!!
(PS anyone local wanna hit up the hill soon? I gotta a skate-on!!)
