Story

To most of you this has probably come out of the blue. I did stop skateboarding for a while after I was hospitalised and told I shouldn't skateboard anymore. But I wanted to do something great before I truly packed it in. 

I've actually been training for months just like any normal sport. While it was light I used to go to PC world car park at 6 am before the staff got there to start at 7:30. I would do nothing but this one trick over and over. I must have done it 10,000x by now. I can even do it blind folded (which I have done as part of my training).  

Alzheimer's is a scary disease. All we really have in life is memories particularly as we get older. Yet for every 5 year age group the number of people with Alzheimer's doubles. I've seen first hand how it effects people and I think we need to do what we can for this currently underfunded effort. http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/statistics.

PS: Also if all goes well I might break 2 world records. 1 for regular heelflips and one for fakie (backwards) heelflips
