If you timed it right you could make the jump, get the landing purposefully wrong, flip arse over tit and go crashing through the fire escape door into the street for some great laughs.<br />I jumped a wheelie bin on the school grounds too.<br /><br />I still have the boots, I wonder if I still have the ability?Buckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169970711606515445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7099099432720184584.post-3460977439982938902011-05-07T21:22:23.919+01:002011-05-07T21:22:23.919+01:00The only rollerblader wearing high-viz in the area...The only rollerblader wearing high-viz in the area?
