War of the Thistles 2012...

This year for our yearly big competition, The War of the Thistles, we had a slight change to our second venue. Most years, it has been done across in Dumbarton but this year we went for the slightly closer to home, Transgression Park on the east side of Edinburgh.

Slightly smaller park but it seemed to work okay and there was plenty of stonking skating going down. It was a bit of a pity that it was one of the hottest weekends of the year with the sun blazing in the sky that we had arranged to be indoors in what turned into a bit of an oven. Still, fun time was had by all.

This is Manhead who actually won our trophy last year. I'm fiarly sure his wallet was fattened by some of the skating his was doing but he didn't win the big prize this year. This year the second half of the trophy went to a Jake Collins who in the good tradition of the winner, threw down brilliant skating consistently throughout the day.
