  • This thing is complicated...i only wanted to say, good on you for keeping skateboarding alive in Portrush. My friend Alys and I spent our entire summer there, and we nearly saw this skateboarder get beaten to a pulp by a huge group of drunken old men who'd been marching in a 'band'. We were so gutted and we couldn't find the skateboarders for the rest of the summer=probably hiding out.everytime we saw a boy with long hair we got all excited-no more shaven heads and happy hardcore music from the chavs! Why is there such a problem with being different!! Skateboarding and surfing are amazing and keep up with this site :) w. bye!
