I never knew this http://rockriprollgirl.com/home/2010/04/sue-hazel-sk8-to-send/ about her http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/profile.php?id=13974.

I'm very impressed!

In reply to Tyler: Climbed with , or at least next to Sue in Dorset on several occaisions, was generally burnt off, but I had no idea about her skateboarding exploits. Respect Sue.

In reply to Tyler:

That is why I looked at the site in the first place - because she had done the interview... There is some very cool stuff around about her skating - hang on and I will have a look for it and embarrass her by posting it up here! <evil cackle>

In reply to tlm:

Here is a film of Sue skating - she is at about 24 minutes and 13 seconds in...

My god - some of those shorts are a real fashion crime!!!

In reply to tlm:

Great video. Go Sue!

In reply:

I hold my hands up - those shorts are indeed hideous! I think Dan Adams' narrative in the skate documentary 'Rollin through the Decades' summed it up rather nicely (when talking about skate fashion of the 80s) when he said embarrassingly, 'I wish we go back to the 80s and delete the clothes maan'. Lol

In reply to purple sue:

I have now decded that you are outstandingly cool! And there's nothing wrong with the clothes, actually I suspect that you changed to climbing because of the late 80's neon spandex scene. Go on admit it, skateboarding became grungy and boring so you moved on...

In reply to purple sue:

Timely, saved me having to search for it!

However, that sand wave would have been a bit more pressured with shouts of hand plant and the like.....
