Bristol Slide Day Event Post

The Bristol Slide Day event aimed to break down the barriers of learning to slide and I think even if on a small scale we’ve started to do that 🙌

Beginner & intermediate lessons were sold out & teachers alongside Danielle came from different parts of the country to impart their knowledge (thank you @powerpufftravel @bigbenlongboard @jpattenphoto 🙏). The most impressive achievement was the age diversity with little guys and gals as young as 7 learning their first slides.


📍 Bridge Valley Road is closed to cars once or twice a year for the Great Bristol Run and the Lush Longoards crew have been skating BVR every time it's closed for almost 20 years. It was amazing to introduce beginners to the spot and simultaneously have them inspired, watching these legends bomb the hill!



There are video clips here and here, as well as tons of photos - check out Ross from Skatography's work here as well as easypeelers photos on insta.



Some of the wonderful comments from students on the day make everything worthwhile!
