TJ touched down in London on crutches after getting hurt at the Dime Glory over the weekend. That’s the gamble of sending one skater on a world tour—but it’s also where the stories come from. And if you know TJ, you know he wasn’t about to stop.
Touching down in London
Louie Jones and TJ outside Slam City Skates
Hanging out at Southbank and signing posters with local crew
First stop was the Palace store, where our guy Louie Jones hooked up the crew before we made our way through the rain to Slam City Skates. After coffees, stories, and linking with more of the London crew, we headed to Southbank. Louie filmed a banger line while TJ signed posters, hung out, and caught up with everyone who came through.
That pen has been put to work over the last two weeks.

The night ended with ramen before heading back to the hotel. Tomorrow will be a quieter one: a trip to Rollersnakes in Derby for TJ to record a Brain Drain episode, then straight onto the Eurostar to Paris. See you in France!
