    Oh dude! It’s so rad to find your channel and see you skating Dawlish and Teignmouth - I have so many childhood memories going on holiday down there with my family many times so this hits me. I remember this Dawlish park and the Teignmouth one suddenly being built by the time one of the trips rolled around and I always thought how sick that was for both of the towns themselves and sick for me considering my history with those locations.
    I remember learning to Ollie that oval 3 set into the rough blue pool in Teign where the park is built because the bandstand stage in Dawlish centre was too big (at the time). Ahhhh, memories!
    Anyway rad channel and videos dude, fully subscribed to you back! So rad to see ‘older’ dudes setting the bar, keep killing it!

      @@CallMeRB Thanks Ryan! Appreciate you taking the time to check out my channel and also what a great comment!
      I never did see the old area at teignmouth before the park was built as I only moved to Dawlish in 2013 and both parks were already here by then.
      I know what you mean about the 3 set on Dawlish bandstand located in the middle of the Strand green. I’m eyeing them up but currently there’s a huge Christmas tree lit up there and it’ll make a right spectacle, grey bearded old guy skating by the town’s Christmas tree….🤣
      Dawlish has one of the last outdoor wooden minis in the area although it’s on its last legs even with its annual patching up.
      Dawlish skatepark has a cool 3 set that I love skating and a 7 that i consider from time to time as I would have nailed them in my youth but am more cautious nowadays.
      I spent my teen years skating Milton Keynes and all its blocks and steps.
      Where you based and when’s the last time you visited Dawlish! The sea wall area has changed so much since the storm of 2014 destroyed the Train line.
      Look forward to following your skate channel and thanks again dude! 👊🏻
