This was going to be the first of many distance rider profiles with lots of information on one particular skater, what they have done, where they have been etc. etc.

But it looks like the Alberta Primetime channel has beaten us to it. Ladies and Gentlemen. Paul Kent.

Forum member Laura is honing her video editing skills…

In a meeting of downhill racers and distance pacers, a deserted business park near Plymouth saw forum members Laura, Matt, and JJ along with good friend Charlie and Rich get on down with their bad selves. This video is the result. Please excuse the quality - it was shot on Laura’s 5MP digital camera, and well, it was night time…enjoy! And hey, the new Skate Further banner even got its first night out on the town!

Seeing as we have finally got off our butt to enable videos (same goes for all the Skatefurther journals too!!) we would start with what is probably our most favourite. Rob, we salute you and all that you have done for distance skating.
