Gilly Smalls, bitches
Monday 23rd of April 2007 by Chaz
So the trails have been riding in pretty good, especially with security meaning not returning to the woods with raped jumps. Everyone?s been getting pretty stoked on the place at the moment, with more being ridden in as the days go by. Roll in still needs to be bigger, which is work in progress.
Gilly has been helping out at the woods a lot over the past few weeks or so, which has been fully appreciated. He can probably do every trick invented, including all of Matt Hoffman?s crazy vert combos. These photos have dodgy lighting, but hopefully with wireless products on order (to arrive soon) this will be eliminated in future. Here he throws a sweet toboggan.
Had a wild night out Saturday for certain. Drank loads of cider and absinthe at a party on a balcony before we went to town, and did some pretty good destruction on the way. I was real haggard before we left the house. Went to break summit, missed and landed in a massive bush lined with compost. Dialled. Consortium had some band playing, ?7 to see them, so I opted for walking about busy town shouting at people and talking shit. Talked to some pretty sick people, all of whom probably didn?t know what I was saying. I doubt I did myself.
Rode some Winch madness on Saturday which is always a treat. Nicest bunch of guys about. Netley shot some photos of me doing aerial manoeuvres, hopefully some of which will develop good. I?d like to see how they come out. Every time I go to other trails I get too excited about riding and don?t shoot any photos. I suck. Rory seemed pretty excited about the photo of Will Herman jumping Chertsey stuff, so get stoked Ed.
Aidan rang earlier and got excited about getting Gillys signature, and was actually buying new bike parts. I couldn?t believe my ears. On other Aidan news, he still has a wrecked foot yet is happy to ride on it. In the words of Mr T, crazy fool. Or summit.

Two angles on the same trick on the same jump. Gilly does the best proper table tops, i.e. with a level bike and 90 turned bars. This is a pretty mellow racer hip too, so is a pretty mean feat. Uni work sucks, I think I might leave and go travel the world for a bit. Then start my own gardening business, or work with wild animals, or something else reet fun. Brighouse a week on Friday for the weekend, get ready you Northern nonce?s, we?re going to destroy your jumps with crazy 1 hand bow legs. Only a month until I finish uni for summer, so after the 23 May as many people as possible are welcome to come stay, ride, drink, party and generally get radical. Feel free to invite yourself, if you’re rad that is. Bring on summer loving.
