Summer at grove

Took the old camera down grove skatepark for one last session before the operation, last ride in six long months!. Turned out to be one of the best sessions for both riding and photos I’ve had in ages. Pretty stoked! Pipe, Couch, Daz, Rev, Stu sucks, Lee etc. It definitely felt like a summer evening, just the right temperature. Daz has a new tatoo of some men shooting at some bees. If you know daz I guess you will get that.

Couch has recently ditched 8 little wheels to 2 big wheels. He’s only been riding for about a month and can already do x-ups like these. Good lad.

I set the old camera gear up and took a load of photos of pipe which I was really happy with. I will put those up in a few days time, haven’t finished sorting through them yet also might be used in an advert for pipe products.

I tired pipe out making him do lots of stunts so he took charge of the camera for a bit and took some photos. Lee tyre grab.

Have been trying these for a while, finally got them going right. Me trying to do un-turndown.

Lee doing an x-up, not met Lee before but seemed like a nice enough chap. I think he added me to myspace. Building the network.

Another angle of an un-turndown by yours truely.

Lima wasn’t about cause he is helping build the empire of dirt track. Apparently it is pretty much amazing, see pretty shady for some photos of it. Not sure if I am going to be able to go for two reasons, first I might not feel like it with my arm all screwed up, and second not sure if I can get a lift anymore. Soooo shall see what happens there.

Couch man also can do tyre grab real good, I don’t think I have ever even tried this trick. Not sure why not. Something to learn I guess. Couch you should be stoked on this!

I have to be up at 6am tomorrow for surgery in Reading, only have to stay there during the day should be home by tea time if all goes well. Will have my right arm strapped to my chest for 3 weeks, then in a loose sling for another 3 weeks. So should hopefully be able to start taking photos again before too long so book your session now, in the mean time got some website to make for people and a few other projects. Pipe photos up soon - Signing out

    hope the surgery goes/went well. it will be annoying to have one hand for 3/6 weeks. Things you can still do with one hand: use a computer eat with chopsticks frissbee stifle a yawn salute (standard UK military, cub scout or Hitler) telephone your grandma clean out your ear with cotton buds count the number of weekdays on your fingers tell the traffic warden exactly what you think of him
