I can’t seem to remember my body being turned into a vibrator over the last few sessions, although I am looking forward to a cobble sesh this weekend. At least the presenter didn’t push mongo.
There’s no doubt that if a list of the best British skaters ever to grace UK spots was to be drawn up, Chris Oliver‘s name would sit amongst the finest. Lovely geezer, amazing skateboarder and creative with everything he touches.
