Getting to the top was easy...getting down again with a pram before it gets dark....not so easy.

Hoop dreams

As I'm now season ticket-less I thought about trying some new sports to get the usual fix. I managed to blag some corporate tickets for the basketball, which meant a stint in the luxury bar, meeting the players and a 'courtside seat. Imagine Jack Nicholson and Tom Hanks minus the cigars.

One of the best things about the b-ball compared to football was the quality of half-time entertainment. There's DJ's, cheerleaders and most importantly break dancers.
Whenever a time out was called by either team we were treated to a performance of break dancing by these kids who would run onto the court and do their stuff.
If you've never seen anyone spinning round on their head I can't begin to tell you how enetertaining it is.

The kids doing it took a bit of stick from the crowd, most likely because they call themselves the Bad Taste Cru despite being neither American or street.
Very entertaining though. Got video but it wont upload.
