Stumbled on a DIY skate spot in Prague today. It seems to be mostly on its last legs but still in use. Coming across such a spot by surprise is a real joy. It makes me feel like a modern antiquarian. Couldn’t help but think of Richard Gilligan’s book as like many of the locations he depicts, this was empty of life. I was on my bike and had no board to enjoy the terrain. This made it feel even more like some old ritual space that I could not quite bring to life. I was however able to dig out a photo of the spot when it was in its prime. Brightly coloured with a mermaid pattern.
