Went down Kings Park late yesterday afternoon for a little ride before dark. Turned out Netley, Barclay, Aron and little Leeroy were down there having a session. The coldest day in the history of history I think, but turned out to be an alright session.
Here’s a couple of snaps, all over the hip out the bowl, one of Leeroy wafting and a couple of Ollie Gun.

Went digging for a few hours this afternoon, pretty much finished a new landing, pictures of the progress when I remember to take them before it gets dark. Next weeks a reading (translated:digging) week off of uni, so hopefully plenty of work will get done in the woods.
Some guys and girls coming down at the weekend for drinking/riding/partying, should be rad. Pic’s from that I hope too.
Just one more snap, bonus one from my phone. Especially for Aidan, I KNOW he’ll get stoked on this, his favourite rider 11 years ago! Thats love for you. Captured from 5710 Leeroys amazing poster collection. Bye.

Pretty funny video of
Ali Witton doing an upside down grind?! I reckon those peg’s are gonna be the next big thing.

So after a while trying to sort out FTP with Ed, it one day decided it would just work, after not having to under exactly the same conditions for days. Computers are like alcoholic old men, unpredictable with a mind of their own.
Digging is well under way, nearly 3 months deep, with a few weeks off in this time over Xmas, the woods are hot. Myself, Ollie G and Jesus dug yesterday, got plenty done, going to be a good summer, hopefully.
Here’s a snap I took of two cats that always chill out on the shed roof across the gardens from me. The ginger one is well chuby. I think he/she comfort eats to deal with the trauma of being a ginger. The black one sometimes invites itself into our house and watches daytime TV.

I bought a Canon 300D off Ebay, which I’m stoked on, heading back to Banbury for the weekend after next to get it from home, and sort some other stuff out. Sweet.
Went up to Corby indoor park over Xmas, highlight of that was finding a coffin? Who knows why they had that in the park, but it made a pretty dialled picture. Here is my friend from hme, Ibbo, who may or may not have been dead at this point.

As always I have no fresh riding shots, but should have some good material rolling when I get the new photo maker contraption. Heres a random shot from the archives of my laptop. Timmy Gun of messy in Croydon fame, cranking one at Kings Park a while back. Adios suckers.

Read this, it’s basically a new concrete facility in London which isn’t going to allow bikes to use it despite being funded by the goverment. Imagine if this happened at every new skatepark, and things end up like in some states in the USA. Anyhow,

Sorry no new pictures, some old ones which didn’t get put up before. Went for a ride the other day in cardiff, was riding some banks with jim and his mate from back home who has started uni here, his first time riding in cardiff he got chased by a gang on bute.

anyway these threee guys start shouting stuff at us so we started to ride off, then look behind us and they were running as fast as we were riding still shooting stuff. we brick it and tried to get away, but they were waiting round the corner too. got away in the end, but was pretty shady. saw them again later in town, and they came up and said ‘they only wanted a fag’. seemed pretty desparate for a fag/our bikes. fun times
