I have known Oliver since year 7 at secondary school. We used to ride mountain bikes around Didcot doing skids and jumping off kerbs etc then going back and playing guitar. I got into BMX and Oli didn’t ride so much for a couple of years. He’s brought himself a BMX again now and rides it around the pikey infested city of Bath. He does illustration there and is damn good at it. I thought I would share a couple of his drawings. Enjoy!

Big thanks to Oliver for letting me put these up here. You can see more of his work at kookaburra fly. Will hopefully have more stuff like this on here soon. Leave him some love in the comments too!

Wow exciting things happening at the moment, started riding actual jumps again a bit. Had first session up at Maindy today. Super un-fit after not riding for so long but good to be riding at all! Got a new camera which is real nice, here’s a photo from it of Jim doing a moto at Maindy

Guitar hero seems to have taken over our house… I suck at it but the others are good.
Joe Smalley updated his site so go check out his photos and designs etc.

I made site for a Physiotherapist from Didcot a while back, so have a look and get yourself fixed up.

So we made it all the way back to Melbourne in the van, what a bloody miracle! Right now i’m chilling in Eddies cousin\’s house after a couple of nights of partying, while Eddie has alcohol poisining most probably and occasionally is sick, dialled! It’s about 40 degrees today apparently which is pretty intense, think that’s the hottest it has been. Met some rippers from a place called Bendigo the other day, going to visit them tomorow and ride some real good looking jumps that we saw in Focalpoint magazine. The other night we got started on by a group of local hoodlums, three of us and about twenty of them not cool. Got away unmarked apart from ruining ripped and stretched t-shirts, bastards. Australians love to play gambling and betting games, last night we played Monopoly for hours in a pub, and other people put loads of money of horses and dogs. I have a few random photos for you to see, I have about 900 on my camera so mass updating back in England i guess. Hope everyone had a grand new years. Watch that Edgworth video because it’s the best thing since french bread. Lots of stories to tell, one day I might actuially tell some of them.
Pictures - our lovely van at the egde of the world, Blewbmx in Australia, thumbs up, Harrow-esque radness and parliament house. Love. x

Real good video of Scott shredding round the country, lots of trails etc.

Went skiing at the start of the holidays with a couple of other BMXers (Baz and Jim) as well as about 250 other Cardiff students… Was a pretty wild week, piste by day pissed by night and all that. Here’s Baz grabbing his board.

Rob stupid jump, he went miles on this.

Jim learnt flips, he is going to learn them on bikes too soon.

So yeah good week. I have got loads more photos and I will be putting them up as I have time. I am back riding BMX again so might even get some BMX photos when back in Cardiff. WOW.
