And when its attached to my camera, it looks a lot like this;

 

 Pretty cool huh!?

So Nai got her skates the other day, so we figured we'd brave a bit of the cold/wet and headed to the arcade to skate for an hour or so...

Turned out pretty dry, got a few nollie biggies down, and Nai seemed pretty content in rolling about.

All in, it was pretty cool, I think  I should skate more often when its raining, considering how good the arcade actually is.

                                                           
     

I'm not sure how to adjust photos on Bloger yet, so please just disregard the cildlike placement, and enjoy the sheer brilliance that is a fisheye lens.

I cant wait to get some proper skate shots with it :D

So Ed Taylor has set up a Cov uni skateboarding society.
Its pretty awesome to see people doing things like this, trying to keep the scene alive and fresh. There are so many skaters in Cov, and so few of them are really willing to put back into the scene which continually flounders and ultimately, never prevails.
I think the level of energy and love that Ed has committed to his new project deserves a well earned pat on the back. He has jumped in at the deep end and is giving it his all.

You should check it out, if you haven't already; http://cuskate.wordpress.com/

We're working on footage and I'm taking plenty of stills for him, so hopefully the site will flourish as time passes.
Its a shame that Im moving to Bristol in the summer really. Seeing this kind of thing going on in my hometown really gets me stoked about the scene and gives me the chance to get some stuff documented in a valid setting.

I'll keep you posted.
