i just watched a documentary called ‘unknown white male’ on c4. its some of the most probing tv ive ever watched. it left me totally bewildered, the idea of it all. and if you were in that situation what would you do.

this will make little sense to you if you havent seen it.

if you have, would you have your memory wiped, with the option of having it changed back in 6 months. but your wiped mind decides whether you change back or not. would there be enough unanswered questions that you’d want to know? or is ignorance bliss. great thing is, you cant answer these questions. make of it what you will.

greetings.

just gunna empty my head of junk. this seems the best place to do so. i had a bunch of things earlier that i wanted to say but ive forgotten most of them. they may resurface.

tea!!! i still love it. some days i have too many cups and feel sick but still drink through the pain. took the first flask of the year down to the trails today. it was a wonder. its just something to look forward to. didnt have any normal white sugar so had some weird brown muscovado shit…

weeeeee. by the way, this isnt a “real” update. it actually is an offload, a bit like cleaning out the recycle bin. here aidan celebrates the fact he has a complete bike. we put the frame on. had hassle with the cranks as usual. then discovered his headset was crapped up too. so ordered a bling sealed up one. got that.then cyclesport had forgotten to send the top seal. benders. so then got the seal sent. then his top cup had bent with the beating he’d given it, riding the bike around without any top bearings or cover or whatnot. whacked that in, then it went a treat. new seat and grips needed.

ooooooh yeah / the first bit of a berm in my line. WORD. aidans now quit his job at the flowing well pub after 2 and a half years of being offered sex, drugs and listening to strange music. end of a very strange era. didnt manage to attend his last night as i was reeeet ooop north like at lancaster uni. that was pretty ace. cant be bothered to tell any stories. but it basically means that aidan now has way more free time, so we can go digging and riding more. so in theory there should be some old skool style good updates from us soon. this update cannot be included.

so we have more time to do this kind of stuff. up up…

…and away. so i see the boy alot these days. which means he comes round and shows me shady videos hes found on youtube. now, im not overly happy about this occurence, but like they say, every cloud has a silver lining. this video about rick james was one of them. honestly, watch it >>

I’m Rick James Bitch!

bike picture!! wow wow woo wah! main line 3rd back in the summer on one of the very few sessions we had. shit doesnt look like this at all anymore but that was a pretty cool jump.

oh yeah, went to radley one day last week when i had fuckall to do whatsoever and tried to do tricks. did an xup for the first time in ages and got my wheel stuck thje wrong side of my foot at about 230 degrees centigrade. still shits me up. so i just did a table instead.

this is only worth the 2 seconds it takes to watch

hell why not. thats 2 forms of riding media in one update. i best slow down before i blow up. why? cos im rick jamessss bitchhhhh.
bunnyhop pictures next time?

So Pete came down to visit the uni Tuesday. Had a little ride at Slades and Kings Park, but the weather stopped play. Was cool to see him though. Guna head up to Kettering and Corby over Chrimbo.
Not much to report on, rode the obscene swimming pool yesterday, Moley, Jefferies and Luke go nuts, those guys are tooo dialled. That place is so much fun just carving round. Uni presnetation Wednesday, haven’t started it yet, should be gash. Finish uni a week today for Xmas too, stoked on going home for a few weeks. Ride the local and hopefully a rad Radley trip or two! Heres a random pic from the depths of my hard drive. Seeing as Pete visited, here he is sending a deeeeeeeece table at our jam back home in Banbury over the summer. I’m going to eat cheesecake now.

trolley racing is fun.pit stop for food

went up to the track in cardiff thinking it would be too wet to ride. turns out it is running better now than in the summer. STOKED. quite a few people turned up, incdlucing one guy in lycra. thats how we do it in cardiff! good session, jim may have gravel rash or something. get the iron wool out… last important uni thing tomorrow so hopefully get to ride some more this weekend.hope everyone has been christmas shopping cause i havn’t.

toast anyone… playing with arty stuff

Random snaps I got at the Iffley / OWP jam a while ago, Easter time. Some quite decent ones, mainly of Lima getting rad, plus one of Matt Jones. Crazy Pete’s down to visit uni/skatepark Tuesday, should be good if it doesn’t rain like it does constantly at the moment. Have a little play. Heres some treats anyway. Last ones proper nuts.
