Sunday Slade’s Sessions
Monday 4th of June 2007 by Chaz
Sundays are always a little lazy, and after an hour or two of digging we hit up the farm. I decided to get the camera out as it had been a while and get some snaps. It was pretty good to have a session at Slade’s with our crew of diggers from the woods. Jesus has the place wired.
Paul Jefferies doesn’t have sponsor deals for no reason. I can’t even get my wheels out the top of the bowl. Here he blasts a casual 4 foot air, no worries. I wasn’t feeling riding a lot, so decided to take pictures and shout about the whole time we were there, at everyone in the park.
This is one of my favourite picture’s I’ve ever taken, real stoked with how it came out. Proper BMX, none of this backwards, three Mph, slide on a ledge rubbish. Awesome table out of the side of the bowl.
Jesus sabotaged a picture of Gilly, and it ended up coming out pretty awesome.
Here’s a better photo of Gilly doing an awesome toboggan. He can in fact do every trick ever invented in the history of history.
Melon loves riding more than most people. He often gets his Aaron Ross on and sends his bike flying. Aaron has a section on the new Empire vid, Chill Bro, which is definitely amazing. Tony Cardona does some real good fast stuff, KP is originality in a small coffee scented package, and Chase Hawk rides a bike like it was intended to be ridden. Go watch that video when you get the chance. N.B. skip Joel Moody.
Gilly loves blasting a gap or two, and this is one of the best the farm has to offer. I wanted to session it too, but have suddenly got a real bad back. It developed loads yesterday and is a real pain, even hurts walking down the road sometimes right now. I’ve been trying to use some old stretches Yak posted back in the day on Theshovelload.com. Anyone with any other good ideas for back rehabilitation, comment this post with them.
Tricking this line is real hard, I’ve never even seen anyone do anything over it before. Here it’s opened up with an X-up.
Tabletop. That’s all you need to know.
The farm is the best place to learn opposite tweaks and nibbles ever. Jesus does an opposite layover which looks nice on camera.
I wish this picture had been taken a tiny bit closer, but still came out real nice. Not bad for a stiff old man…
A small crew of people chilling and smiling. The farm is always a good time whether you ride a lot or not much at all. That’s it for a second update in as many days. Take it easy, make the most of every minute of sunshine.
