Skateboarder report on London Critical Mass.

[Doug[_10_]]

"Just finished what was probably the best critical mass EVER. One of
the best
skates of my entire life. So so so good. I feel ALIVE! Tonight I fell
in love
with Thoria (my new board). I hadn’t mentioned her much before because
we were
still feeling each other out. She was a stranger, the perfect
stranger, but a
stranger all the same – but one with whom I was destined to fall in
love with.
And tonight, after a rather public and tumultuous consummation of our
union –
I am unashamedly and wildly in love.

Nothing, absolutely NOTHING feels better than when you progress,
growth of
your skate balls feels amazing. And I owe it all to my new baby (and
skating
lots). Critical mass is a rather gentle monthly push through our city
with
about 1,000 participants, it happens all over the world and we have
been
welcomed with open arms by London’s cyclists..."

Are skateboarders going to start campaigning for skateboard lanes,
advanced skateboard boxes, cheap skateboard hire, Govmint subsidised
'buy a skateboard' schemes etc?

Just like a push bike really. Just another child's toy being used by an
idiot as transport.

Space hoppers next no doubt.

Sounds like a sensible, well-balanced chap. I wonder when the wedding is?
