The Why Not? Blog

At the tender age of 25 Dave started skateboarding. 14 months later he became the first person to skate the length of Britain. Another 8 months on he had crossed Australia on his board, breaking a world record & raising over £20,000 for three charities. Now, at 27, he's writing his first book, is a motivational speaker and a businessman, and he's only just gotten started on a lifetime of challenges which from the outside look just darn crazy. So, why? You know the answer, don't you. Why not?

Clocking up the miles

Miles Skated Friday: 24

Miles Skated Monday: 3

Miles Skated Today: 24
Pasta Meals Eaten: 1
Groin Strains: 1

This Thursday I'm inviting skaters from all over Swansea to join me on a twelve mile skate. The headwinds around the bay at the moment are killer, need to get some gasping boys and girls on film.

The weekend in London was awesome. Joined the Sunday Stroll, which involved myself, one other longboarder and at least a hundred inline skaters rolling around the streets of London. (see http://www.urbanskaters.com/photogallery/index.php?level=album&id=11) Amazing experience, everyone was really friendly to me and my immobile yellow board. Seriously, every city in the world should have a regular group skate, I've never seen anything like it. Roll on next time.
