Blackpool

I took local hotshoe skater and bmxer Jacob Roberts to Blackpool last Tuesday. Ive known him since he was a real nipper and he is still only 11!!
In fact ive been with him on his first drop ins (bike and board) and a lot of the real milestones in learning skateboarding and bmx!

Theres a jump box at Blackpool, bloody big un.
Jacob cant roll in yet off a 6ft quarter pipe but he clears the jump box with ease !!!!
check the footage, amazing stuff.

Ive been training more specifically now with the aid of Tim Buckle BCF sprint coach who had helped with some routines.
