An early morning start and probably the first Sunday in months I wasn’t nursing a hangover, go me. We all met up in Belfast to take the party on through to Donaghadee or the “Dee” as its preferred name. After some hours skating at a school we took our business elsewhere, 22 miles elsewhere… to the hidden gem of a town called Portaferry. On arrival we started skating this bank on the beach front in a seemingly dead town centre. All of a sudden we where getting all sorts of attention first from an angry pensioner who owned a sweet shop who wasn’t so sweet herself and protested she was phoning the police, thankfully she didn’t show her bitter face again after that. Next was the inevitable abuse that comes from cars when you’re trying to get your trick, but it wasn’t so bad, Jonny made some new friends when he was trying a wallride outside a quaint little pub and the boozed up lads went mental when he rolled one away. What I’m trying to say, I think, is Portaferry is a pretty rad place to skate which I honestly never imagined in the long car ride there, plenty of hills bombs, banks and lots of other things to get creative on, oh didn’t mention the view?
Yea the view too.
