Basically quit riding

crazy curved wallride

unless you can do this. thanks to mr tull for heads up on this little gem. some riding pictures soon.

Update frenzy? Seem to have got a loada stuff to display lately, so may aswell keep it fresh up in here. Just a few pic’s from a late night floodlit Slades session, Ollie tabling out a terrible transition, lawnmower fuf maybe? and me with an unsavoury table. Savour the flavour.

So Aidan came down last weekend, hadn’t seen him in over a year, sooo bad. Rad seeing him and partying, felt like we still saw each other every other weekend. Only got the pic’s from him a few days back, so here’s some images he snapped on the picture making machine.

Here Aidan gives it a model like pout for the snapper. He is a self confessed poser, and openly said he can’t get enough of posing. Poser? Tart? Kook? You decide

Me, Spaidan and Ollie G, keeping it sweet. Oxford rep in the house, drinkings pimms and talking politics…maybe? Ollie towers over me. Taken from a Bournemouth bar where pints are, at the cheapest, nearly 300 pennies. Why? Us students don’t want it but Aido and his chick did, so we got execu-suave. Super strong scrumpy on tap, so every cloud has its silver lining.

We love gay-ing off. Don’t think many people in that bar had ever got more loose than necking a pint, or doing the one foot skank. Stiff. Went to one more place after this where all drinks were ?4.20, so swiftly departed home.
Took Aidan to our trails the following morning while he drank rotten Smrinoff Ice, tasty. He got stoked on the jumps. I got stoked on his stokedness.

In a past life, Aidan lived as a world famous pro skater. He travelled the world with the circus doing skate moves whilst blowing fire and juggling knives. Here he gets back to his roots with a foot grind straight to the best beach around. I didn’t get to witness this myself, but I’m definite it was an unmissable spectacle.
That was a rad couple of days, fun times. Enjoy.

Lots of things sucks at the moment, don’t wana sound like i’m emo’ing out like a 15 year old girl, but bad stuff always crops up in groups. Car got a puncture couple of days back, then today won’t start today. Laaaame. Plus I have chronic tooth ache and feel uber rubbish. Not cool. Emo’d out? Apologies.
Aidan sent me his trip photo’s so that shizz will be up in nexy day or two, should be radddd. Some treats.
Here’s a random pic taken by me mate from Banbury, Josh Belcher. myspace.com/photographyjosh for more radness. Got mad linkkks bruv! Peace out homegirls, better update soooon.

holla!

its a saturday night. im allowed to stay in cos im working on uni time. only 20 days since my last update. whoops. ed pays us contributors for every update we do, so if we do enough it can actually pay the rent and stuff so im a bit down. chaz has earned quite alot this month so took aidan out the other weekend and they drunk champagne in some classy club with a bunch of famous people and girls waiting on them. despite his appearance ed actually does that most nights and has been running a seedy girls club since half way through his first year at cardiff. sickh-ed.

by the by, this is aidans new frame he got yesterday. he managed to crack his frame quite horrendously around the headtube a few weeks ago doing some kooky trick variation, and it probably worked out cheaper to buy a new one than weld it up. its pretty rad yo. i helped him knock out the headset cups then fell asleep…

what else? i got back a few hours ago from hertfordshire uni. we got up there pretty late on thursday then went out to a club called batchwoods which was pretty nuts. its an old mansion converted into a club with huge staircases and pretty ceilings. its the most sexed up place ive been to. it had these podiums with loose chicks in tiny tiny skirts gyrating on their girlyfriends. for some reason when girls are on podiums they get about 10 times cuter. got shouted at by the bouncers for wearing a dialled hat and laughed at by the guy at the front who checks your tickets and shoes, cos i dont own a smart pair of shoes, so instead wore some slippers. dont ever wear them again, he said….what does he know?

sang football songs on the way home, god only knows why.

i just wanna clear something up cos it seems to have caused a wee bit of confusion. cothill still exists just as it always did. just cos its not on the internet that much anymore doesnt mean its dead. me and aido have been pretty busy recently, since hes basically starting his career and ive been doing things that arent relevant. so we dont need any help thanks, cothills an organic place, we dont rush these things or try and build the biggest gaps. we’ve just been letting it settle for a while since we had a bit of a building frenzy in the summer, note rain peppering and lots of leaves.

its all changed quite a bit now. aidans taken over the main line after me having it for 4 years or something, and im building a silly line of stuff that i want to ride. last year i built stuff that i thought i should ride. dont do it, it never works. so its all 1ft high, 3ft gaps in my line with rollers. love it. this is aidans first set up set. we tested our lines back in august or something so stuff works. so there you have it, its as shit as its always been, just the way we like it.

have a wonderful time. might have some actual riding pictures one day maybe? ed pays us more for that…xx
