Having driven through torrential rain and ridiculous traffic to catch the final 5 minutes of the inline AMs comp it is now time to get a few drinks in and see what the evening brings.
I’m afraid it will only be iPhone photos uploaded this weekend. Proper shots will be posted later but for now it’s all about the skating, parties and jumping in puddles…
As you can tell from the floods it’s the summer again and next weekend is one of the UK’s biggest events of the summer. It’s NASS again. I have my tickets and transport sorted. All my batteries are charged and ready to spend 3 days capturing the event for all.
So, get hyped and check out the galleries from last year:
A quick trip up to the Unit 23 Open last weekend with the camera and I grabbed a few photos:

So, X-fest happened (admittedly a while ago now) at a rather wet Santa Pod. I will admit that it was a rather subdued second event in the Laced series, definitely not helped by the appauling weather at hand. When the sun did eventually break through, and even without coping on the ramps the mix of adrenaline and high octane made it one to put back on the calendar for next year. Next time though, I’m taking a liferaft instead of a tent…

Another gallery is up (finally). Last month Rampworx hosted one of their ever-popular Inline Only nights. After skating for a few hours I got the caerma out to grab a few shots of what was going down on the famous ramps. Here’s what resulted…

So, where did it go? Well as a reminder of those great days in the sun from 2012 here’s another small gallery. An evening after work, over at Platt Fields outdoor skatepark with a few skaters. Chilling, skating and just enjoying the great weather. Next time I’m definitely going to have to get some barbecue action on.

So it was raining when we got to the outdoor spot, so we decided to have a quick hour session at The Boneyard. I was only with camera due to a minor injury from Thursday, but we had a few people skating including the infamous John Goodman, and I was looking for some new and interesting angles on the park. Here’s what I managed to get…

Just some shots I hammered out at the end of the session at UKSkate Park. Usual Tuesday night skate. However, check out Leo Oppenheim skating on his bigwheelers (freeskates from Seba).

Finally got out for a skate outside on Friday. OK, it was only Plaza, followed by a mustly unsuccessful trip into Hanley, and return to Plaza, but it was great to have a few guys down to skate and to actually be outside without dying of cold. Didn’t spend much time behind the lens but grabbed a few shots when we returned to the Plaza:

Well with Winterclash now a couple of weeks back, I’ve finally have time to sort through the last of the images and upload them to the gallery. This includes what I saw go down at the park (Area 51) throughout the day and also the unofficial afterparty which was held at Effenaar, right in the centre of town.
