One of my favourite things I’ve ever written was that Nick Boserio skates like Indiana Jones running away from the giant boulder. Revisiting that story on account of this line, from Hayley Wilson’s new part, encapsulating it perfectly. — quartersnacks.com/2022/09/five...

Big up The House Skatepark in Sheffield. Over 25 years deep and one of the few remaining indoor parks in England (and that’s skatepark not “action sports academy”). A conscientious place in many ways but, most importantly, somewhere affordable to skate inside, hours on end, for less than a tenner.
