That&#8217;s pretty much all there is to it, but there&#8217;s just something so awesome about hijacking the roads. I went along with a handful of people from Imperial SkateSoc, who didn&#8217;t know I was coming so I was rather lucky to find them right at the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>I also missed the fact that you could actually buy a santa suit from the people organising it. I&#8217;m hence dressed in rainbows and tinsel, as you can see in the video at around 5.30. T&#8217;was an awesome night and much thanks to the organisers!!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"London Santa Skate 2015\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lCOSJuu6_ao?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s not my footage (how did you guess?).
