Words and Pics Irvine (with some questions from Mike)
Incase you weren't aware, David 'Div' Adams is a skateboarder from Carluke and a bloody guid one at that. His unique ferrel cat- on cat nip- steez was highlighted in a two tune part in the infamous H'min Bam. I picked his pickled brain for a few minutes over MSN, Div's favourite method of communication, this is what resulted. - Alex
