Epic session during the winter of June
Saturday 30th of June 2007 by Chaz
Hit up Epic on last Sunday evening for the first time in ages, pretty rad session with all the older riders from back home, always a good time. It was the first time I’d used my wireless flash set up, and not much came out brilliantly, but it was the start of a learning curve.
John is fifteen years old, listens to rubbish music, has a silly haircut and was holding foot jams on the sub box for at least three seconds. He’d never done this before, pretty impressive stuff.
He also has nose wheelies DOWN on the mini ramp fully along the coping and back in. Dialled ass kid. He ain’t no Vic Murphy but he’s god damn alreet.
The chase hawk kickout blended with the foot jam is also another of his top moves. Should have done a table.
These photos are a too dark, but I guess I’ll learn to use the new equipment quick enough. On walking through the skate park entrance, I was also greeted by the smiling face of Luke Peeters of cheltbmx fame. Always a pleasure to see that kid, never a moment without a smile on his mind tank And never a moment on the bike where he doesn’t do something obscenely impressive. He carved up the vert wall and gave us a cheeky look over the shoulder too, which was jolly amusing. I really, really want to go back to Pitville park, that place is too good, not surprising the locals are so dialled. Lookback on the mini from John.
Our woods back home have gone from some ratty overrun jumps to a dialled as set of lumps in one week. I’m really stoked on this, and a great part of this is also thanks to young sonny jim me lad, Greggory. He was coasting over a gap from vert ramp to mini which was really cool, got a couple of sweet photographs of this. He is one sweet dude, as I have mentioned in previous posts.
This is one of my favourite photo’s I’ve taken in a while, the same gap as before but from underneath. I don’t usually enjoy Epic much but had a real good time, especially in the bar.
Matt Roe was also there and shredded it HARD. That kid is too good on a bike. Shame I didn’t shoot any photographs of his antics. Hopefully I’ll get lots more use of the new flash when the rain stops some time ever, and get some really dialled photographs. I’ve shot a few good un’s this week in Bournemouth so update from that soon too. I’ll leave you with a stormy scene out in the sticks back home. Ending the update in a similar manner to which the worldly accepted daytime ends and night time begins. Adios.
