19/1/06 - the site went a little crazy today, hopefully it’s sorted now…

18/1/06 - changing host’s seems to have gone okay, yak and chaz you need new details to put photos up so i will email that to you soon. there is more space for videos and stuff now. expect good things this year from blewbmx

the hosting should change over sometime today which may mean the site doesn’t work for a bit… but should hopefully be okay.

why greetings! sorry for being shit recently, i have been busy in the sense of busier than usual but not really busy. a bit late, but hello 2007. i havent had to write down the date yet, but i imagine lots of kids at school keep writing the wrong year. it usually kicks in, in about february/march time so the statistics go. picture >

bit of an aidan update im afraid. apologies in advance. this pictures about a month old from when me and aid went to soho in london to party like sickheads and how we did. aido got wildly drunk before we even went out on whiskey and coke. these pictures were taken at about 5am, so i’ll story as i go…

hehehehe. got to a club/bar whatever called digress in soho. had our own private party room. aidan grabbed my crotch then ripped the shit out of my jeans then proceeded to whack my bottle of beer with his harder than ever so it went everywhere. bottles in this place cost ?3.35. dick. then the girl with the leopard tights did it to him and shattered the bottle. karma.

aidan very drunk. i wasnt. my mother would be proud. in fact, my mums rad. shes on msn at the moment, and i quote exactly:

yakkle says:

im not sure i would of been as stoked as you are if he shit himself while i was holding him

mummy says:

well its all safely in the nappy!! All rather sweet really as he goes off to sleep sitting in it all !!

heres what we were talking about. say hello to oscar, the nephew to uncle yak. yeaaaah, refer to me as uncle yak from now on. it suits me. makes me sound wise and wistful and like an alchoholic. which if you ask me is a pretty rad mix. my big bro whos shorter than me and uglier than me made his wife squeeze a human out of herself for their future happiness. good lad. he aint ugly. he actually looks like tom cruise before he turned weird.

so basically if anyone touches a hair on his head i have to fuck em up which sounds pretty fun. i also take him out and get him drunk when hes 18 and teach him to do bicycle tricks. sweet.

heres a breakfast aidan got at 7.30am having had no sleep for…..?2. then after eating that he bought another one.what the hey hoo? london is cheeeeep.
fact.

oooh jumps! this pictures a month old as well. sorry. thats aidans lip on his line. his lines nuts. hes built so much stuff, spent nearly 2 weeks straight down there over christmas and got so much done, while i was in devon. hes building stuff bigger than we’ve ever had at cothill further down this line and has about 5000 ideas for lines in his head. the berm is mine and goes into other strange things that i really need to ride before i can finish them off.

aidan riding said lip a couple of days ago in the soaking wet. you could hear the water under his wheels. still cleared it with some heavy pump over the roller. it looks dry here - dont believe everything you see. everything you see - aidan built….trooper indeed.

the aidan experience

i dont even know. aidan another night entertaining some sexpot.

what a shit update.bye bye xx

Revising for an end of semester exam Tuesday. Dulllll. So here’s a few random snaps from the summer of 69…or maybe 2006

Well it’s not very bmx, but thought people might be interested in other extreme sports and all. had an ace time in flaine, france skiing/partying. there was actually some snow, which was looking pretty shady before we went so that was good. also edsalter.com is up, so go check that if you wanna waste more time look at arty photos etc.

this was a fun little kicker we built.

jim learnt to snowboard pretty good in 5 days, his teeth also fell out.

Snow hurts a lot less than dirt.but is also a lot colder.who knows i might actually put some bmx pictures up somtime. Yak does good updates and puts riding photos up. he also digs like a trooper, good lad! Snow is also easier to make jumps out of and you go really fast and high. But you do also spend half your life climbign up hills/going up lifts.

I pumped my tires up really hard the other day, made it feel really differnt and almost broke my wrists, a happy medium might be a good idea? the pressure gauage on my pump is broken.

Some good bands to listen to: Dio, Boards of Canada, Alkaline Trio, Creedence Clearwater Revival. The domain runs out soon, not decided what to do… Someone give me lots of money.

So it’s been a while since I updated any photographic material. Back in Bournemouth now, had a radd time at home for a few weeks, always fun. Without further a do…

Late night/long exposure of a church in he next vilage from me, where my old jumps live.

Cothill sunset the day before New Years Eve. Was a treat and more.

Gregg rules. Fact. One of the raddest doods in Banbury, and the world, he now lives in the highlands of Scotland, to live cheaply/save money with his wife. He says the place is extremely boring. Which i can believe. Should be back in Banbury for summer though, he better anyway. And I know he’ll be stoked on this shot. Hollllla! Here he poses in his favourite position from the group activity Kama Sutra.

Blew what? Ohhhhh BMX. Right. Heres a shot of a cold street session over the Xmas period in the town centre. Wallride carve. Ray Smith.

Thats all for now. Prettyshady Joe’s instructions seem to work pretty well. Followed closely yesterday and after a while a lip came together. And it was sunny, which was a bonus for once. More regular updates again now. If you care. Not to sound like every other moaning bitch in their sisters tights and Rod Stewarts haircut, but go dig. You won’t regret it when you see good jumps and summer lying ahead. Adios. x
