The following are profiles of my main skating friends and me.
If your not on it don't get offended because it's probably due to the fact that you suck. SORRY.
Alex is a great all round skater, from his huge kick flips to his fluctuating voice, probably the best skater in the school. He likes skating street and kicks on ledges, boxes and gaps.

 The manual KING. Loads of style and balanced with a slight lack of skill.

FUTURE AMBITIONS: To drop in switch in both the pipe and the roll-in. To drop in on Snakeboard, and not bail, and turn round at the other side.
 The Zimbabwian guy. James can only be described as a nice guy all round with a alterative style. (Has a slight tendency to ride through poo in down hill jams, maybe he's just unlucky)

 A good all rounder, this guy can do a bit of anything. This ability to ride just about everything stems from when he skated constantly, but things change and recently he hasn't skated that much due to work on saturdays, but I persuaded him to quit his job and since the end of the summer holidays he's been skating pretty much every week.
