Awesome news, now confirmed! There’s going to be another JOGLE (John O’ Groats - Land’s End)! This summer, Plymouth skaters Matt Elver (recently sponsored), Lee Renshaw and Charlie Mason are doing the 900+ plus mile trip for The Gogo Trust. Check out their site, and good luck guys! Skate Further is going to keep y’all posted on this one, as Laura’s crewing for a large wedge of the trip

Ahaha!!!! The wait is over! Last night a new distance adventure was finally revealed by the Long Treks on Skate Decks guys. Here’s what they had to say:

That’s right the crazy rumors are becoming increasingly true with each day! Aaron Enevoldsen, Paul Kent and Adam Colton are teaming up again to take on the beautiful country of Morocco. This time we will be bring much more advanced photography and video equipment to capture the best and worst the country has for us. Also keep your eyes open for a surprise ending!

Check out the existing Long Treks websites here, and hang in the for the new one. Skate Further’s Laura has to build it first!

Jim and Maria are still going! Follow their 3000km adventure in Asia here!

Check this out - distance skating record holder Jo Coles has organised an AMAZING event! An opportunity not to be missed, and boy are we all excited. Raising money for Shelterbox, skaters of all kinds are invited to come and skate the TOP GEAR track. There will be some BIG miles skated that weekend! Follow Jo’s thread here on the Skate Further forum, or the Lush Forum, and visit the site here! GO JO!

FROM PARIS: Bustin Boards are kicking off their Euro domination with a push race in a secret Paris car park this Sunday. Log in to Facebook and then hit up this link to find out more…

This just in from our man in Europe, Chris Vallender (official welcome coming soon!):

“…Tonight 13/02/10 rollerbladers and longboarders (around 15ish) will gather on the Trocadero for a torchlight procession. Then the message Toronto 2010 will be written in torchlight and the procession will continue down the Champs Elyses. All this is happening from around 9 till midnight and it should be picked up on all major TV channels.”

We’ve seen quite a few happy beginnings recently for the distance skaters of the world, and it seems like there’s just something about New Zealand! Congratulations to Mr Rob Thomson, Distance Skating’s World Record Holder, on his marriage to his sweetheart Haidee. That’s another one sorted, who’s next then?

Well, he might have made it to within a whisker of Land’s End, in surely one of the most ramshackle yet glorious attempts to break the British distance skating record, but man, that boy really knows how to blog! Check this out!

This is probably one of the most long-awaited distance skating films of all time! Produced by Paul Kent and Aaron Enevoldsen, edited by Adam Colton, with logistical support from Skate Further’s Laura, this was a multinational skate project of epic proportions.

Here’s a little excerpt from Jim’s blog to keep you warm on these cold winter nights the Northern hemisphere is currently suffering:

“When it gets dark in Thailand it gets dark fast. When it was seven o’clock we had to use our headlamps. When then were 5km from Lampang which was the days final destination. In all misery we had some luck and a Brittish guy on a motorbike stoped and offered a ride to a guesthouse. So Maria and I jumped up on the bike with all our gear and his bag. It was pretty cosy but Maria was sceared as hell. Maria was the hotdog and we were the bread. He dropped us at a really nice guesthouse and we will stay here for two more nights to heal my foot.”
