Modes of Transportation

I went online looking for skate shops in London as I only know of Slam City which has been around ever since I was a teen. I have been meaning to get another board for a while. I did discover that you can buy a board complete online now. No fussing with choosing bearings and wheels and trucks. I looked up about 200 before I found one. Most of the designs are so garish and awful and as the man over the telephone said, 'juvenile'. When I was a juvenile I didn't really have £100 to spend on a board so I got a cheap one which was fine. This time I just got it over the telephone.

Today I was asked by a friend who is directing a car commercial next month if I had 'car stuff' on my reel. Sadly i have shot many interior cars but very little exteriors. It's a four day international shoot with a 160k budget. If I had any decent 'car stuff' on my reel, he would have put me up for it.

I guess I will have to stick with the skateboard for now and work on the car stuff in the mean time.
