We skated a barrier. Hans and Armando killed it. This thing was tough to skate - all vert and no room for error. Be quick or be dead.
We then headed back to the Volcom office where Jebrane was ready and waiting with concrete to be laid.
Some organisation and debating was required.
Lean the barrier back and pack it out using the leftovers of the building site next door to the office...
...or watch, beer in hand.
Employ some cheap foreign labour to mix the 'crete.
Get the first slap of muck on there.
Vorsprung Durch Teknik. Micha had it. We all stood around quietly and noddingly approved as we are men and know this anyway. Right? Right? No.
It was a good lesson. I'll admit that. I now know the technique for laying decent 'crete.
Find a child to stick their handprint in there.
You know how you can tell that this isn't England? Nope - not the sun. There are girls near skateboarding. That never happens here.
Finish up...
Drink up...
..and cover up for the oncoming rain (Y'see...It IS like England!) leaving a little "Don't touch" message for the local kids.
Sadly I had to leave France...so updates are going to be localised here: http://rickysbarrier.blogspot.com/
I want to see some footage. Now.
I'll try to update it but I suck at blogs. How do you put pics in the center?
ReplyDeleteI put a bit of concrete on the barrier next to this one too...
