Next level vert domination from our 10yr old ripper @georgeoneilll
Hell yer smashing it 👊👊👊👊
The 900 is something that you are going to achieve. You are such a rad skater at such a young age. Full respect. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Great to see George doing handplants...starting with one of the hardest to do FS...ripping it up George. The lad is getting more power👊👊👊💥
I've thrown my hat away. I can't get it on. Amazing. Respect to the max

Anyone fancy running a 2020 comp at Taunton?
We'd need to do it properly and go through the council. I'm not having 100 people turn up only to get kicked out, I'm just not that punk rock anymore 😅 It can sometimes mean a bit of red tape and documentation for safety regulations and insurance (like St Neots) so you'll need to be committed and it may help if you're fairly local but not essential.
It’s a rad ramp definitely a good idea
Do it that ramp is sick I wanna excuse tongo up there again

What an amazing end to an amazing year! Thanks to everyone who skated, organised, judged, hosted, MC'd, watched, cheered, filmed, photographed, sponsored, merchandised, scored, registered and drove.
That list gives you an idea of how many people are involved in this thing and 2020 will probably see a few more people helping behind the scenes as we move into a slightly more media heavy era which should help with sponsorship and funding. Any help offered is always appreciated as are the lovely messages of thanks we've enjoyed 😊❤️
