  • A brilliant time was had by all in Malaga. Expect a media onslaught over coming days. Whether or not sweet Malaga wine and an enthusiastic hostel owner ruined the skating component remains to be seen. Photo Milo Bragg.

    Topic#1
    Baker arrived halfway through the session and decided that he doesn’t need to skate more than every six months to put everyone else to shame. Ollie pop: 1/2 body height. Length of grind: N16 8JH.

    Good one. More of this.
