i made this – Bicycle Seat Post Skateboard Rack
Skateboards are not the best mode of transport – getting around to skate spots is really better suited to a bike. The only problem is how to carry your board. I discovered the awesome Bicycle Seat Post Skateboard Rack intractable, and then made it. It worked pretty well for me, I reckon.
I got to skate, on my birthday
I got some toime today to head out in the cold and wet to skate. Lucky me.
I only get to skate at night, mostly
Skating during the day is a challenge, given WFH and the COVID-19 restrictions on skateparks here in Melbourne. Under the cover of darkness, I head out for a skate.

I got to skate today, sunday
Riding my new setup: Santa Cruz Tom Knox Discord 9.98″ Deck, OJ Team Rider 61mm, Indy 169. It’s silent, super-fast and a little scary.
Been caught streaming
I’ve started experimenting with streaming my skateboarding sessions via my Repossessed to Skate channel on Twitch – a streaming platform for game oriented content. Why do this? I was curious how the platform worked, explore streaming as a ‘thing’ (particularly as a streamer with no viewers) and find out how particular communities form and interact …
I got to skate yesterday
I got to skate for about one hour, yesterday. In full daylight, and everything. I worked on the slappy-inspired crooked grind, where I slightly lift the front truck and then place it on the edge of the small ledge. The goal is to grind the front truck while the rear of the board flails up …

It’s been a while…indeed
In November 2016, I was lucky enough to travel to Hong Kong for work. In the extremely limited time that I was there, I discovered @hkitskateboardshop squirelled away up a flight of stairs on #GRANVILLEROAD in #TSIMSHATSUI There, I bought some shoes, a shop t-shirt and shop board. The board is particularly unique, with the …
Trying to work it out
I’m just trying to work the ledges out, bit by bit.

Kerb rituals
Recommencing kerb abuse and switch rituals with sloth. You’re welcome.
My new favourite spot – Kerb abuse
It’s rough and raw. It’s not a skate park. It makes you work hard, for everything. I love it. It’s my new favourite place. I have this kerb all to myself (at night).
