Halfpipe Asda - Bexleyheath
We arrived at the halfpipe in good time, all the locals where out sitting on the grass, some skating flat in a nearby tennis court and a few sitting eating munch on the top of the halfpipe. Must say that the locals all where friendly chaps at Bexleyheath and welcomed us instantly. Which ended with them showing us an impressive perfect undercover 7 stair set. Perfect run up and perfect landing. Arni was the first to land it. Then a game of skate started.

Cineworld car-park 7 set -Bexleyheath.
We where just rounding off when Kelly, Robin and the gang heard about all the fun, they decided to bring a car full of cronies from Faversham to Dartford park. We decided to then meet up with them and arrived to greet them.

Into the car and off we go. We arrived at the park around 3:30pm. There to meet us was Kelly, Robin, Brandon, Dom, Kyle and the girls some skating and some grazing on the surrounding grass and the rather impressive Dartford Locals. That had the feel to the park, unlike us.
The park is a bit small, but compared to Faversham it's giant. I will admit that with the skaters and BMX riders combined, it does get a bit tight and seems to be more dominated by the bikes especially the bowl areas, leaving just the small street section to skate. Only Arni would have the brass enough to just drop in that bowl and go for it, she definitely doesn’t let anything get in her way of a good skate.

It took a while to get warmed up and getting the basic feel of the park, however after time everyone was busting out some tricks and landing them. Including some lovely Rock to fakies by Arni.
After a while, the groups belly's started to give a little rumble, we all decided that the best place was to head to the traditional McD. As we made our way through town, the market was packing down, Fruit and vegetables everywhere. Squashed on the floor. Almost like a big street fruit cocktail.
Arni and callum decided to sod off to Subway. Finally getting to the golden arches, most where rather disappointed that there where no Big Tasty's with Bacon.
The weather for the day was surprisingly beautiful for England. The Sunset was defiantly worth seeing. Everyone skated in the warm glow of orange sun and skating till the very end. till the Sun was out of sight, another day
One other thing we need to mention is the awesome little boys that gave us a good show that night, they were like little dynamite. They were great!! Robin and Kelly even had a go on the boards, but Robin was more daring and actually tried dropping in, not a great success story to be told there. Lol.Just goes to show it doesn’t matter how old, young, a boy or a girl it is all about skating and loving it.
