It’s always a gamble when travelling on a touch-and-go weather type of Sunday, always a bad sign when you’re halfway there and there are rain spots on the windscreen too. As it was this Sunday, on the way down to Southend-on-Sea, on a little trip to skate some new street spots. First spot was the new bank/manual/ledge setup, Ben’s new favourite spot. In attendance, Ben (our host and guide), Russ, Wiggy, Steve, Gonz, PJ and the Southend fellas. The rain soon decended, setting the theme of the afternoon, pull up at a spot and minutes later the heavens open up. Next spot was the new bus station. We got soaked and then after getting kicked off the pavement (!) by a security guard whilst waiting for it to dry we got the boot by the police. Trying times. The weather improved though, and so did the skateboarding. We hit up a load of different new spots, stairs, ledges, flatbars, even a roadgap. Russ got some footage in the bailgun and everyone managed to get some good skating in between the downpours and gales. A return trip needs to be soon, this time with textbook seaside weather, please.
