Was wondering whether things are slowing down here in the UK shore-wise. There was a huge boom and the scene seemed to be rapidly progressing here but it seems to have gone quiet recently. Was it a craze for a while and where do you think is it all heading now?

Yeah was nice to suddenly have lots of new spots to ride but hope with the slowdown these pay-to-ride venues can still afford to stay open!
