Nice parks. I'd ride around all day long if I had that.

Heh. I'm a US skater, but I know one of those parks- I was just there last month. The one with all the graffiti at :39 is Stockwell skatepark.. Losthobos, sorry I didn't catch you there, man; I wouldn't have been such an oddball. I was riding an Original Derringer with Orangatangs, the local ollieflippers didn't quite know what to make of it, or the way I just kept carving all over without doing any tricks. The depth of it doesn't really show properly in the video, but that snakerun/deep bowl combo was a hoot! I'd have played there all day if I could. Got anymore footage?
If anybody's in London, head out to Brixton, exit Stockwell station and go right- it's quite a ways down. Brixton cycles is right next to the park, and they're loaded with longboard and slalom gear, too! They had some Pavels and a beautiful red Turner on the wall that I really wanted to bring home with me.
