This was taken at the Heston comprehensive school fete skateboarding competition where I came second.  Justifiably pipped to the post by my friend Carl Potter who could do a handstand on his skateboard.  He could also run across the playground doing double somersualts, and dance better than me, and he had girlfriends.
