Awesome news, now confirmed! There’s going to be another JOGLE (John O’ Groats - Land’s End)!

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!

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!

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?
