Overview
I'll Kick You In The Head With My Energy Legs depicts the coming of age, travels and traits of a group of skateboarders from London, who managed to escape the grips of a nine-to-five. Each character offers a different dynamic to the ongoing story; be it walking along the sludge covered beaches of the river Thames in search of an American visiting friend who happened to be taking an emergency shit' after accidentally drinking an entire bottle of laxative, or a journey to the hospital to fix a dislocated elbow, or playing with a dead pigeon.
