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!

Forum members and Skate Further webbies Nat and Laura headed up to North Devon for one last adventure together. Gav, who makes Holey trucks (a favourite of distance skaters), also ran the first UK skateshop - Surrey Skates. He now has a warehouse in the middle of nowhere, stocked with some of the finest sights a skater eye could want to see. Check out the pictures to get an idea of how much we enjoyed our time there.

NOTE: Almost every Holey truck in the world has passed through the Cave!

Tomorrow, at lord only knows what time GMT, Swedish distance skater Jim Petersson and his partner Maria will begin an exciting-looking 3000km trip from Chiang-Mai in the north of Thailand all the way down to Singapore. Jim’s been giving us the low-down on the trip in the forum, and wow - just wow.

In true awesome distance spirit, they are raising funds for the Swedish Childhood Cancer Foundation. Hit up Jim’s website here!

Looking the photo above, it’s clear there are tigers involved! With Jim on longboard, and Maria on inlines, they are entirely self-supported, carrying tiny packs, and we wish them the best of luck.
