I Want To Get High - Cypress Hill

Today couldnt have been more of a let down. Jonny picked me up about 12 then we drove to Chilli Rd Metro station to meet Will. I picked my iPod up from Laff's and we drove to R-Kade Skatepark in Redcar. We stopped off at Dalton Park to check out some shops on the way, as we were doing pretty good for time. When we eventually got to the skatepark all the shutters were down, so I checked the internet and we found out R-Kade is shut on Mondays. We probably shouldve checked that before we left. So we drove down the sea front to go see the penguin statues, My original plan was to Ollie one. But when we pulled up I didnt actually realise how big they were. No way was I gonna even attempt it without a warm up. So I just took some photos on the Holga insted. We then decided to check out Prissick Plaza, hopefully it was gonna be dry. We stopped off to take some photos of the Transporter Bridge in Middlesborough on the way. I get really stoked everytime I see it since it was on "Auf Wiedersehen Pet" but iv never been so close to it. We were gonna take a ride across but didnt have a clue how much it was and we wanted to skate real bad. So we drove to Prissick only to find it soaking wet. Another complete let down. So we drove off again, We rang Neil and arranged to meet him at Ilva near the Metro Centre, An outdoor skate spot with a roof that was bound to be dry. We arrived had a bit of a session but I was over it before it started. Im sick of skating Ilva, Its such a bad spot and the pavement gaps aint fun at all. We only skated for the best part of an hour and a half before hitting up the Metro Centre to get some food. We opted for the Weatherspoons and I got a Cheese and Onion Pastie with Chips and Beans, Pretty standard but it hit the spot. We had a bit of a walk around the centre then Jonny dropped me back off home. I was only there for a few mins, Said hello to Sarah then caught the bus to Killingworth to go see my Dad. We had a good catch up and he'd fixed my record player. He dropped me back off in Heaton about half 9ish. Sarah and I watched Madagascar 2 (kids films rule!) and then crashed out.
