Off My Biome - The Core and Fire Sesh by ..::sNOOk::..

"I wonder how long it would take to blow them up?" - Aaron on seeing the Eden Biome's inflatable appearance for the first time.

“You will recognise the bloke who does it, he’s the one with 1 f@*king
HUGE leg walking in circles” – Alex’s response to Aaron

www.skateparkpages.com and The Eden Project Sessions 2009 teamed up on Saturday 4th July 2009 for the first of 2 skateboard demo's at this world famous venue. This was the 2nd time we had organised an event at Eden, the first being a skateboard and BMX workshop a few months previously.

I had really been looking forward to this visit as this could be the start of something special and unique.

"Dreams can come true" (sung to the tune of Gabrielle's pop cringer) - Derek and Lucien on Lucien landing yet another savage variation on his wheelie stick

That pretty much summed up the day for me.

Imagine this....

Your sound a fook boss at work lets you build 4No 8ft x 2ft x 2ft grind boxes and then pays for them. Then he then lets you take them to the Eden Project in the work van and leave them there for you to use when ever you like. You then arrange for 10 mates to go skateboarding all afternoon (wearing their new fresh Prime apparel which was given to them FREE earlier in the day) at Eden in front of the very impressive Core building and even more impressive Biomes.
You arrive, given a staff wrist band, free entry, all to find out you get your own downhill Eden path lined with grind blocks, HD cameras and a live 9 Piece junk band - Big Beat fresh from Glastonbury to accompany your grind variations (more attractions are around every corner or should that be curve?) Like You sesh the blocks with your bro's, you witness sic manoeuvre after sic manoeuvre to a point your "blink mind camera"(patent pending) becomes close to saturation point, hours pass, bloody nice chips, blood, slides and beers pass you by like the moody clouds cloaking your fully surreal skate venue, you exit briefly to a blazin mini ramp sesh then back to Eden to collect your free beer tokens and rock out to a sell out Kasabian gig supported by The Hours, landing about 6 rows back surrounded by your revealing, smiling mates who are wearing green Mario like moustaches, obviously, and generally convulsing rhythmically / having it. On the way out the organiser of the Eden sessions says he really needs you come back on the 18th of July to do it all again but this time with the Kooks and Lady Hawke.

WTF!

Exactly.

I could list all the day's amazing trickery here but i will let the video do the talking when it arrives soon at www.skateparkpages.com
For now enjoy these nuggets from Dan P (pics) and Kristian (sketches).
