Went up to Corby as usual last Tuesday… Lima sends these curved wall rides both ways. I guess they are pretty small compared to the old Empire ones.

Not sure what this chap’s name is, but he goes pretty damn high.

Lima with a proper no-hander this time. The gallery works a bit better now, so click on a thumbnail below to see so more pictures. I spent the weekend in Cardiff, went to Newport indoor which has had more work done on it. Jim properly wrecked his ankle and is now on crutches for a week or more. Get well soon. I will put a video up of the new layout tomorrow.

Went up to Corby training facility to practice for the Simple sessions in Estonia and that. Lima wanted to fly there so tried to do it out of the quarter/flatbank thing. He got there in the end, cheaper than flying.

This quarter is small and pretty bad to air, but Liam got it done anyway.

Pipe got on the vert wall thing, even pulled it too. The foam pit is the most dangerous thing in Corby skatepark, I always wreck myself in it. Had about 3 runs into it and got some pretty good whiplash going on now. Trails aren’t running anymore, but there is blue sky outside and the days are slowly getting longer.

this is will doing a good 360.

went to the new skatepark at corby, near kettering today.absalute mission to find the damn place. drove aroudn trading estates for about an hour, then went into town and asked the police where it was. they gave us some more directions but at least in the right area so we found it in the end.costs ?11 all day which is a bit steep, i thought newport was bad. it is actually a pretty good park though.the jump boxes are like a badly built set of trails which are still fun, a bit different from just a quater and a jump box though i guess.

didn’t get many photos, didn’t have camera out for long so photos aren’t great. this guy was a shredder. dunno who he was though, arrived just as we were leaving.

this guy was from bury st. edmunds i think and was also a shredder, i think he 360ed the jump before this as well.probably the best thing about corby is the foam pit, didn’t ride it but looked fun i guess if you like that kinda thing, better than newport foam so go and learn tailwhips there. oh and will landed a flair into it which is rad.

was playing around on photoshop, came up with this. also just had to upgrade hosting on the site so click on some adverts on here to help pay that. xxxx. oh said i would put up something for locals too. check out the head angle, look and learn
