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?

When ya gotta go you gotta go

A short blog this morning, but a happy one. A good bit of strapping, a couple of homemade butterfly stitches and a constantly bitten lip shoud see us on the road in about three hours! I'll be leaving Adelaide from the lay-by beside Mitcham Cemetary on Old Belair Road at 10:30am (2am GMT) this morning, and aim to scale the hills (what a test for someone who hasn't ridden for two weeks!) before riding out the flats to Strathalbyn, some 50km south of Adelaide.

Only a day on the board is going to tell me how well the foot has healed, despite all that has gone before this is the most important day of BoardFree Australia so far.

Smiles all round this morning, we're getting back on the road.

PS. Thanks so much to everyone who has emailed their best wishes and made donations on www.justgiving.com/boardfree. If you've stumbled across this blog accidentally but it has still caught your interest, then visit www.boardfree.org.au for the full story.
