UrbanSkaters

Earlier today I received an email from Buffalo Bill over at MovingTargetZine.com, he wanted to bring my attention to an article he’d written about an inline skater attacking cyclists. 

Some lunatic skater wearing a gorilla mask has been threatening and attacking couriers (and probably other cyclists as well).  – Read The Full Story Here.

I can confirm that on further google-investigation, that there is a mystery inline skater on the rampage attacking cyclists in London.  All the reports are clear on two things. 
1) The skater wears a gorilla mask, 2) The skater only seems to be attacking cyclists.

I’m sure I speak on behalf of the inline skating community here in London when I say, that we do not condone this type of behaviour.  I hope the gorilla is caught and dealt with quickly!

A 71-year-old inline skater from Southport has been taken to court by his local council, for what they claim is dangerous skating.  They are bringing the case against Geoff Dornan under the Good Rule and Government Act of 2005.  Apparently this will be his second time appearing in court for his dangerous skating. (why do I hear the “Bad Boys” theme-tune?!?)

You can read more about this story @SouthportVisitor and be sure to watch the video report above.  The ignorant comments made by the disapproving public leaves me with just one more thing to say – “Science has proven that people who stay active in their old age, live longer.  I hope that when I reach my 70th birthday, that I’m still rollerblading recklessly too!”
