Keeping Focused: Typical Scenes in UKDH

2

In August of 2014 I sustained an injury that required surgery. I followed the rules but as any good skater would, later broke them only to find myself immersed in injury once again. This not only affected my ability to skate (there’s no way I can fall right now), but set my recovery back a few months. Keen to not make the same mistake twice (at least not in a row), I’ve carefully nursed my wounds and my aching skate soul until I am now finally back to doing pendies. If you’ve had an injury before you’ll know it sucks right? Best advice I can give is take time to heal proper and masturbate often.

In the meantime, I am enjoying some fresh employment that often gets compromised by the need to skate and travel. I am fortunate enough to work with these guys and have a handle on a quasi sport/things-I-know-and-enjoy style of life-work.

Even with an injury holding me back from skating, I have stayed tight with my downhill friends in the UK for the last few months, during which time they have pitted themselves against the worst the weather and ungrateful locals can throw at them. Here are some memorable moments from the experience.

Thanks for checking out the UKDH, I’m stoked to bring more posts from my scene and travels around skateboarding. Find my instagram here until next time!
