My journey started early on Friday after getting some last minute orders in the post, a 4.5 hour bus journey up to Manchester. There I met Xi and Big Tom, and we walked around Manchester getting some noms and having a chill warm up sesh (although warmup doesn't mean Xi cant throw down more techy weirdness than anyone else!). After meeting Danny and Colbert (one to keep an eye on) for a bit we went back to Callum's house where we'd stay the night. Pizza, smoothies, angry terrapins and bad TV later, and we finally fell asleep ready for the next morning.
Waking up/breakfast (left) and driving to the venue (right) went surprisingly on time compared to what normally happens trying to rally a bunch of lazy people up and out, haha.. Once we got there everyone said hello (below left) and everyone started having fun on the parks, with mad tricks from everyone (below right). Needless to say it was fun!
The big game of skate came first, where Michael R won, Thom came second, and I walked away with third place. After that a ton of food was provided (pizza, muffins/donuts, crisps, and pasties?! soo generous!) which was well received by everyone (I don't think you'll ever find me turn down pizza unless I'm seriously ill) and made for a nice stopgap between the events - although some fun little tricks went down inbetween (below left). Big mini run came next (below right) which Euan won, and later on in the day after a charity raffle the big run competition went down with Euan winning and Alex coming 2nd. (below bottom)
Overall an amazing event. Chill vibes, not huge so soo much fun for everyone involved, and honestly the effort put in by Harry and his mum to make it this fun was amazing. Huge props to them, all the winners, and everyone else who made it such a ridiculously fun day. Look out for the next UK event (Crossed Fingers Sessions - info very soon) in early April :)
