Promotional artwork

First and foremost, I would like to apologise on behelf of the camera using part of my brainbox for these crappy photo’s. Dark woods and on camera flashes suck. That’s my excuse anyway. Welcome to lot’s of stories update time. Thank you.

Will does the best kickouts

Last weekend was a treat and a half. Should have started in Croydon, but I decided against that plan. Staying in seemed like a good option until Pipe rang about 9pm and convinced me to go out in Oxford. An hour later, I was at Jib’s house with some other kooks.

Gunner and his red bike

We hit up Aidan’s pub, which isn’t all that splendid, and then went to the new Academy/old Zodiac. Paid a fiver for some rubbish back room, but ended up skeaking it into the main sections. Lima and I ran through the fire exit to do so, and ended up in some hardcore house room or summit. A while wandering round there and we realised everyone else must be in the other section. There we were greeted by the legend that is Goldie playing records, woowza!

Ricky G Tbog

Met some posh dude in white jeans in the kebab shop, who Liam heckled about his dirty white jeans and Rev threw chewed up chips at, neither of which he liked. We named him bent tooth and he named Liam red top. Apparently he lovvvved chicken, much like a middle class version of Ali G. “I haven’t got any chips, but if I did have, I would have thrown them at you”. Boom.

Matt going rather far up

Saturday should have been Chertsey, but ended up a walk around Cowley Road due to rain, wondering what to do. After much discussion, it was decided on Bournemouth, but we only made it to Winch. The trails were running sweet pre jam, and a session got on. Aidan got stoked on trains with Martin Tambling, all star struck bless his odd socks.

Opo tables with Ricky Gunner

The Winch guys already had the place running sweet, which was awesome. A nice chilled session went down, with Plymouth, Oxford, Winch, and more all in attendance. It was decided that it were best to disco there, so we headed off, some to Davros’s and us to Jason’s.

Tambling twist variation one

Headed out into the city, and Aidan and I ended up soaked in beer and cider before we reached town. Met the guys in the pub, and chatted lots of rubbish. Met Jez from NZ who was rad about us popping in on our trip down under, lovely chap. Everyone started to get haggard, check LITW for proof. We headed to another pub, I bought Subway on route for some reason. Left Subway in the wrong direction and ended up walking for ages with no clue what was happening. Eventually in the pub, a seriously heated game of fusball got going, and we eventually got kicked out after much persistence from bar staff.

Superman seatgrab, rubbish shot, amazing stunt

After the pub, we got more Subway, I wee’d in Aidan’s shoe, we did the usual aimless ranting and walking, then headed back to Jason’s place. I licked some girl, but not in the good place, and woke up in the morning wrapped in a pair of curtains on a makeshift sofa from chairs. Super night.

Truckdrivers are sick as funk

Oh yes, some bmx happened didn’t it? Although we woke up to rain at 11, by 1pm the trails were all running, due to hard work from locals. Thanks so much guys. The atmosphere this year was by far the best yet, so chilled out and no intense heckling and trick forcing. Just flowing through the trails with loads of people about chilling and having fun was the best.

Matt Priest huge twist

Highlights included seeing lots of sweet people I don’t see to often; good to see the Shrews, Gav, Derelict, Ollie Gun, Gilly, way too many to mention. Tambling and Matt Priest on backline were the best riding I’ve seen in a long time. Martin 7 and Matt double whip on the last were actually obscene. Matt is one rad kid, twist 1 foot 1 hands, twist x ups, whoppers, he seemed really ‘in the zone’ at this point and everything looked lovely. Kent going a good 2 foot higher than anyone else was also nuts.

Dubbbbbbble whip!

Shame red top had hurt his leg he day before, Matt and him training would have been a spectacle not to be missed. Hope this update gave you the wicked feeling in your mind tank and not the ‘what a loada rubbish’ one. Thanks too much to the Winch guys for a rad stay, Jason and Jibbles for places to stay too. Less than 4 weeks until Oz now. It’s going to be the time of my life. You looking forward to grotty UK winter? Mwahaha! Have an awesome weekend this one boys and girls. Kiss.
