On my recent holiday to Wales skimboarding seem to be a big sport. Afer trying for myself I can see why. Its a really cheap sport to take up and hours of pure fun. First things first, you need a skimboard, costing about a tenner from somewhere (web, surf shop!!). Then a beach, its definitely gota be sand, and not pebbles. Hold the board to one side of your body. Start near the water and learn the timing of the waves Run, approaching the waves at a 45-degree angle.Throw the...

Check back soon for a step by step guide on skimboarding.

After a grueling 5 hour car journey we finally arrived in Tenby. The town of Tenby is situated in a dominant hilltop position in south wales by the coast. It's hilltop position led to its early settlement as a Welsh stronghold, which was replaced in medieval times by a Norman Castle and walled town. Part of the town walls survive to this day and are an attractive feature at the entrance to the old town. St Govans ChapelAfter watching an Episode of Coast on the BBC, we deci...

I've just come back from a weeks break in Tenby, South Wales. One of the main highlights (sporting) was learning how to skimboard. Unlike surfing, skimboarding starts on the beach. Skimboarding is a sport similar to surfing that takes place near the shore. The skimboarder stands about twenty feet from the ocean with skimboard in hand and waits for an approaching wave. When they see a wave they run towards it with their skimboard in hand. Upon reaching the wet sand they dro...

When Five Live said they were having boxing champ Joe Calzaghe on, there was only one question at the front of my mind. Would he step in the ring with Rocky Balboa? I emailed Simon Mayo (the presenter who was conducting the interview) and thought nothing else of it, that was till he read out the quesiton live to Joe, I could'nt believe it. Have a listen to the clip.

Finally I have repaired both of my mountain bikes. The one I'm always on in this blog (hard tail) had 2 flat tyres, while the other I cycled round Loch Lomond on (full suspension) was in pieces and had no inner tubes at all. I took a trip to Leisure Lakes bikes in Southport to get some new inner tubes and grips.The grips I decided to buy were Yeti grips, both because of the colour and the design, they offer really good grip and look nice on the bike.Because of the good wea...

Its been a while since I was last out on my mountain bike but easter brought good weather as well as lots of eggs.We headed for Yarrow Valley as Finnan had discovered a major downhill, alright for him on a full suspension bike. I was shaken to pieces. When we arrived at Yarrow Valley we followed a path which led round to Duxburry Woods. We had previously cycled this in winter when it was a mud bath. Today though the ground was good to firm (racing slang). On route Finnan ...

Me and a couple of mates where back on the rocky road this weekend in Astley Park Chorley. The weather was good after a week of rain. I had spent the morning cleaning the muck off my bike from the slate mine run a month back. I lubricated all my cables so they flowed easily (no puns intended stu - kathryn). Then retuned my gears so they didn't skip and jump.I met up with my mates then we had a blitz round Astley Park. Finnan wanted to get some film footage for his myspace ...
