A skate video staring Neil Ingall journeying along the canals and waterways. A passion for a challenging spot, a “non-spot,” skating the unthinkable and unskateable. Meeting all the canal characters, cups of tea, coppers, Drum and Bass, taking a fee dips. The dream team, Joe Spray, Oliver Gomme and Thomas Sharman. A deep dive into Neil’s mind and everything about this project. Gongoozler’s
This is part 1, part 2 coming soon.#rollerblading
Neil Ingall, wall cess slide next to the canal, proper Gongoozler. “Get off my wall and keep your eyes off my wife” watch the whole thing now #rollerblading
A skate trip to France - GONGOOZLER’s in Paris with Crofts, Stan, Umberto and our leading man Neil. From Paris to Berlin and every narrow boat I’ve been in….
Have you seen this trick before? Can’t say I have. Med true spin fish, mediterranean fish. Or is it a med shuffle hard shoulder zero fish? Whatever it is, it’s straight from Neil Ingall’s Gongoozler mind. A spot along the canals, quite close to my old flat actually where my house mate locked us out on the balcony the day we were moving out. We had to throw the front door keys to random passerby who let themselves into the gaff and opened the balcony doors from the inside. #rollerblading

Gongoozler(s) _Noun [C] UK informal UK /gon guiz.le/
US /gain guiz.la/_
a person who enjoys watching boats and activities on canals; long, narrow, artificially made stretches of water.
Canal locks often attract gongoozlers.
Fewer examples:
1) The term is regularly used, perhaps with a little irony, by gongoozlers to describe themselves and their hobby.
2) Gongoozlers often like to collect or create canal related artwork.
3) The Falkirk wheel is a spectacular feat of engineering very popular with gongoozlers. #rollerblading
The up and downs of skating the canals. A challenging environment to test the skill set. And that’s where some of the most impressive, unique and creative skating can come from. A cauldron of possibilities. You can also end up in the soup which is grim. Gongoozler’s is playing now. #rollerblading
Sometimes it’s take a visit or two and a nice hat. The canals and waterways provide a host of opportunities for those with the vision. Catch more of Neil’s shenanigans in GONGOOZLER’s. #rollerblading
