Welcome to Of Sk8ers and Scooters!


Sunday July 3rd 2005: Long see no time

Its been a while since I updated here, mainly because I was updating my computer from windows 98 to xp. Also it took a while for the XP to realise that freewebs was not a spam site.

That said, I am thinking of  getting a geocities site to move this whole site to. It will allow me to have more than seven pages to get every bit of information I can on them all.

Final thing to say is, now that the summer is here, the skate team is starting to get back to practising. Rumour is that there will be a comedy movie based around the team, done by the team.

So untill the next update, see ya!

Thursday March 17th 2005: Paddys day

Since last update I caught the flu (fucking great).
It seems the main team site has had an update, since spring is coming up this might mean the teams video will be filmed soon. I'll keep you updated on that.

Lost my scooter again. I'm getting fed up of losing it. I may as well just buy a skateboard. But first I'll get a nintendo DS. Also, I'm planning on getting an animation program and making cartoons. Next time I see Listat I'll work with him on some ideas for cartoons.

Anyway thats all for this update.

Wednesday March 2nd 2005: Another update

Well its been over a month since the last update. I've talked to Listat since and it seems the team rarely meet up anymore. He did say that this will change once the weather here gets warmer and they can start on their new video.

Otherwise I fixed a typo error, the last update said it was on January 26th 2004, which didn't make sense since the one before was at the end of december 2004. I've changed the four to a five.

Anyway thats all I have to update on for now.

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt.

Wednesday January 26th 2005: What happened?

Its been a long time since I updated, and honestly there has nothing to update on. I've had no news from the team since mid december, and I really think they have forgotten about me here having to update.

You see, Listat is the one who tells me of all the changes and new things with the team, but he's lost his internet recently, and I don't have enough money in my mobile to call him, and so far he hasn't tried to come and see me at my house. So untill he(or I) try to get into contact there will be no more updates.

Also I've been very busy at sixth form(or to the americans out there reading this 'college') so the updates will be a bit less often now.

Anyway untill I have something to update, I'm signing off the net now.

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt

Monday December 20th 2004: Team name change

Well, this has not been new news for a long time, but I only just noticed, the team has cahnged their name so as not to be sued by a sofa company(damn those psychotic sofas!) so the team is now called Swansea Skate co.

Also all you kiddes getting excited for christmas? Hmm, maybe the fat guy will come down that chimney, break a few of your mums best china and leave you a new skateboard and trucks to try and fix your old one to sell. Aww who am I kidding? There is only one fat guy who leaves presents and it sure isn't Santa.

Anyway, Listat will be in the 'office' for of Sk8ers and scooters, so expect some major new news from behind the scenes of S.S.c and also expect some new news on the Band 'No Hope' and the possilbe first song 'When Death Comes Calling'.

So untill then, see ya!

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt.

P.S. who knows, maybe I'll be able to get a picture of me up tomorrow as well.

Thursday December 16th 2004: Updates

Well, since I've now finished for the holidays I've decided to start doing any updates to the site. I've added the places where the skate team have advised for you all to skate, and a disclaimer at the end of the list, so read that carefully before you go to those places and skate, as I will not repeat myself if you come to my guestbook to complain about an injury you got at those places!

I've also been talking to Listat, about the band he has started, and he has agreed to let me write something for them, so far all I can say is that the working title of it is 'When Death Comes Calling'.

More updates will occur during the holidays, as I don't get off holidays untill around January 5th 2005.

So untill the next updated, see ya!

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt

Saturday December 11th 2004: Updates will occur on the 17th onward

As the title suggests, updates to this site will occur only from the 17th on, this is due to me being very busy untill that time(so busy infact that I really shouldn't even be putting this up).

Sorry if you are waiting for great updates, but I really am too busy at the moment.

Also I found out who the hacker was the other day, it was my sister, who somehow found out my hotmail password and decided to spam everyone, how do I know? She was bragging to her friends that she had spammed some of my friends with a spamming e-mail to try and make them hate me. She will pay!

Anyway untill the 17th rolls around, see ya!

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt

Sunday December 5th 2004: Team's suggestion and hacker

Well today my hotmail was hacked. Don't ask how or why, as I'm not sure.

All I know is that the hacker went in, sent a few spam messages, and logged out again. How do I know? I was told by someone who had a copy of the spam sent to them.

Anyway Swansea City Skateboard team has put forward a few suggestions for places to skate, I will put these up by the weekend.

So untill the next update, see ya!

Tuesday November 23rd 2004: Bam has spoken!

Bam has told me that he has recogmended a skateboard over at the main skateboard team's site. I will transefer all this information over to this site, and offically add Bam to the staff list(just so yo can tell what information is from him).

Listat will be e-mailing me on Wednesday, so I'll be talking to him to see if I can get any information on the upcoming video 'Skating Tarts'

I'll be updating a lot of the site tomorrow when I actually have free time.

So untill then!

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt

Tuesday November 16th 2004: Its too quiet

For the past few days I have waited to hear anything new from Swansea city skateboard team. So far no new news has occured. This might be because the team is simply too buys at the moment with their upcoming video.

Otherwise, I finally rode my scooter after nearlly three years of not using it, and I nearlly did the rock star jump succesfully, if only a cat hadn't decided to run head first into the scooter(BTW the scooter is fine).

Anyway, nothing has really been updated, and I'm still waiting for comments in my guestbook.

Till next update

Friday November 12th 2004: Headache

I guess it wasn't such a good idea to go after my scooter last night, it resulted in me getting a headache today. Normally a headache wouldn't affect me, but this turned into a migrane very quickly which meant I couldn't do anything today.

But important thing is I got my scooter completely spider free, and I learnt a trick for it called the rock star jump, it only lasts a few seconds and requires all the weight of the person to be pushed to the wheels, but when done right it can look great. Basically, push all of your weight into the wheels and hold yourself up off the ground as high as possible before you put your feet back down(without practicing you can fall over with the scooter very easily).

Otherwise nothing much else is going on today, so I'll check in with Listat and the team sometime tomorrow.

Thursday November 11th 2004: Red flower day

Yeah, incase your all wondering, I am so fucking out of it that I can't remember that red flowers name, you know, the one you wear on remembrance day?

Anyway, there is word from Swansea City Skateboard Team, that there is another video planned(besides the Skating tarts video), all I can tell right now is that it should be about five hours long, and will be filmed in five diffrent locations: Neath, Port Talbot, Llanelli, Swansea and Cardiff. More on this when it is being filmed.

I am hoping that the Skating tarts video comes out soon, as I want a copy of it to review for this site(and also take pictures from it and put them up in the webalbum).

Also I have been thinking of changing this sites name from 'Of Sk8ers and Scooters' to something else. Not sure yet though.

Otherwise there is not much updated on the site, I haven't talked to anyone from the team for a while. And I don't plan to get my scooter out after all, mainly because a huge fucking spider has made the handle bars its home. The only updates I will do today is try and get more publicity for this site.

And one of the last things to mention today is that I succesfully got the join the staff form done, so I will now be taking the requests to join the staff.

Oh and the webalbum will be getting a counter soon.

Anyway later!

Wednesday November 10th 2004: Futher site updates

I tried to get some preview pictures of the Swansea City Skateboard Team's upcoming video, however I could only get one before the screen went blank.

Also, I got rid of the freewebs style websalbum, as the pictures were not showing up, so I replaced it with the page called webalbum. So far only one team member picture is up in it, and the only preview picture is up in there.

Anyway thats all the updates for now, I'll be back some other time to update more.

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt

Tuesday November 9th 2004: News update

Ok, its been up on the skateboard teams sites(one is in the sidebar) for a while now, but it is a preview video of the teams upcoming skateboarding video. Go take a look at it. I would put more up like screenshots of it, but however my computer will only load the beginning then stop althogether.

Hopefully I will get to go with the team when they go and practice, when I do I'll be taking a camera and hopefully taking some pictures of them.

Anyway, I may be busy for the next few days so don't expect to see any updates. Also don't forget to sign the guestbook.

And if anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong on the join the staff page please let me know in the guestbook!

And on the last notice for today, I MAY  be dusting off my scooter soon, and I will be practicing scooter tricks, so if any scooter users out there know any I can try just let me know in (you guessed it!) the guestbook!

And untill the next update, see ya!

Monday November 8th 2004: Bleh...

I seem to be having problems getting the join the staff form up properly, no matter what I do it keeps coming up on the submit bar rather than individual boxes. I'll keep trying to get it up, and in the meanwhile DO NOT try to join the staff.

Bam(the head of the swansea city skateboard team) has so far advertised this site, I'm still waiting for anything they may suggest to add to this site or any pictures they will allow me to use(like preview pictures of any videos they may make).

Anyway, I did succesfully get the guestbook up, so any comments will be appreciated, but please note I have reached an apparent limit to the pages I can have on this site, so I cannot have any more pages.

Untill tomorrow!

Sunday November 7th 2004: The team answer

It seems I was a bit rushed into putting up the last two news entries. Today I got confirmation that the team has deicded to help out. This mean that there will be lots of more intresting things to do. Two of those will be the guestbook(which goes up soon I hope if I don't get that pop up message again) and the staff request form(which should go up soon if not then read above).

Also, with the teams help more pages will be added soon.

So keep checking back,

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt

P.S. 12 pageviews so far on this page, I think I'll add pageview counters to the bottom of every page I can just to see which is more popular.

Saturday November 6th 2004: The day after

Well, it seems that the Swansea city skateboard team really don't want to know about this site. Even my own friend didn't seem to notice that it was up. And without some help I can't keep this site running the way I want it to. So don't be suprised if tomorrows topic is 'Of Sk8ers and Scooters is now closed'.

I really have done all I could without annoying the team to make them even glance at the site, but I got nothing. If I still don't get any help within the next 24 hours, I may have no choice but to actually close down this site, as unlike the team's websites, I can't run one on my own.

But what will happen if I do get some help? Well, I'll be putting up a page for archived news(i.e. things from this page), the guestbook will go up(read yesterday on that) and so will the page where you can offer to help with this site.

Also a counter has been added to the site, and should now appear above every new news entry.

So untill tomorrow's judgement day for this site,

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt

Friday November 5th 2004: Happy Guy fawlks night!

So, its close to a week of this site being up and running. Problem is Swansea city skateboard team are ignoring the exsitance of this site, and have now changed their plans on Saturday to go somewhere else. I'm sure they would rather go anywhere but a crime filled place to skate, but I really would like their help with running this site.

Anyway in a day or two the guestbook will be up, and so will the page I said I'd do on Wednesday. When the guest book is up, no comments where every other word is a swear word, or you will be IP banned from this site(moderate swearing will be allowed, but anything from Ozzy Osbourne style on will not be tollerated).

So, ending todays update I will just say to all skaters to just becareful tonight, otherwise you'll end up in hospital with burns(or worse) and you won't be able to go out skating for a while.

Wednesday November 3rd 2004: E-mail

You know what really pisses me off? Getting porn e-mail from people who claim to be me. I don't know who has been sending them, but if they ever meet me in real life their next bed will be six foot underground, as I don't want to know what they've been doing in their own time behind closed doors! Anyway, this is a regular problem for me, as all I have done to them is try and run a site for skateboarders and they feel the need to send me porn stuff.

Anyway enough about that. So if your a skater and want to help with this site get in contact with me(serious contacts only!), there is a new page to do so on the navibar. Unfortunally I keep getting that same shitty pop up saying I've had to have this site up for seven days before I can add this as well. Those pop up messages are begining to piss me off more than the porn e-mails.

Also, I am still awaiting a reply from the Swansea City Skateboard Team about if they want to help with this site, and also from Listat, a friend from the team.

And untill the next update, see ya! And don't send me porn e-mails or you shall writhe in the lowest pits of hell for it!

Tuesday November 2nd 2004: New additions to the site

Well this is the third day of this site being running. I have notified the Swansea City Skate Team of this sites exsistence, and I am hoping that they will endorse the site in some way.

Today, since I have had a migrane, I decided it would be best to add a buying guide for skateboards, basically this will help you all , the reader, to decide which skateboard to buy while not risking buying a cheap crappy board that will break before you get a chance to use it.

Also, within a day or two I will be adding an offical logo for this site. If anyone wants to try their hand at doing on for the site do so(e-mail to contact me should be somewhere on the site, if not then I will add it in the next update).

Anyway thats all for now, keep a lookout for any information that the swansea city skateboard team may give.

So untill the next update!

Jason 'Cmiri' Barratt

P.S. Four days untill I am allowed to add the guestbook(some shitty pop up message keeps saying I have to have the site up for seven days).

Sunday October 31st 2004: Of Sk8ers and Scooters grand opening.

Welcome to the site! While this site may seem a bit crap at the moment, that is only because I started it just as my dinner was being served and I am bloody hungry!

Anyway, this site will have all the information a beginner(or for that matter experianced) skateboards and(for those few) scooter users around the Swansea area(for anyone not in Wales, Swansea is a city in the south of Wales), from the best skateboard that you can afford, right up to the best places(besides a skate park) to go and use it.

And how will this information be accurate? Well the information will come from the Swansea city skateboarding team! One of the team will be helping out with this site and his name is Richard 'Listat' Jenkins.

So, for now, all you can see is this, and as soon as I can learn how to do diffrent things(or get my bloody computer to work properly for once!), this site will be worth bookmarking!

So until then
