I thought this evening I’d update with a few random photo’s and ramblings about different things which may or may not be of any interest to anyone. Broken limbs are strange in their recovery. I am now two weeks out of the last X ray, and everything seems ok apart from the X up position of my arms, still can’t make them happen. Aidan is a week behind me, and his ankle seems in the over exerted state my arm was this time last week. Here’s a photo of something I have been trying to get good.

Fun trick, Mike Lynette snap

Whilst I waited for my arm to heal and I was jobless without means of getting anywhere fun, I went on a few walks in the countryside, like a right country gent. I used to hate the slow pace of walking, but I now appreciate that it let’s you take more time to take in the surroundings and have a right good think with your brainbox. Here are a few snap’s I took on my adventures.

Opening to the heavens

Arch of sticks and twigs down a little valley

Old railway building at my chilhood woods

I also checked out my old woods, where I used to dig every Sunday afternoon with my good buddy Gregg. Never the most ideal spot or the best jumps, but they were fun to have just across the fields from your house. We had a few nice afternoons down there, nice and peaceful.

Jumps, done with that place for good most probably

This week the Brits were shown on the telly box, and I watched it so as to catch a bit of Winehouse. She did a medley with Mark Ronson, along with a couple of other singers, and then did a song off her newer album, can’t remember which one, Love is Losing Game possibly. Bloody rad whatever it was, go watch the Ronson set on youtube for a bit of musical entertainment. There she is, very coherent for the first time in a while. Excellent.

Winehouse and Ronson, a genius combination

Last night I went to a private session at Epic run by an old school website, Radbmx. All in there were nine people who headed up with our crew, and an awesome session was had by all. We met some super sweet dudes there too. Everyone I was with did something to get stoked on I think, including Gregg’s big drop gap, Chris’s sub box fufanu, Ray’s front brake nose picks and me convincing John to send a pretty gnarly first hand rail. Yes John. I stole the show however with a jump off the bike to bum slide down a ledge to land on another bike at the bottom. Progression. Didn’t get any pictures but my words should be assurance enough it was splendid.

Will Hermannator kicking one out in Texas

So thanks to Aidan I found this photo of Will doing a mega kick out in Austin. Looks like he’s having an amazing time out there again. For another picture of Will living the high life, and other wonderful images, go check out the lightwoods. Pipe just did an update.
Today Aidan and I did some mud piling, slapping and smoothing. The woods are looking really good at the moment, should be a treat come riding time. Now that the arms fixed up and Aidan’s ankles well on the mend, lots of stuff should get done, which I am really excited about. I am however yet to see Yak since I got back from Australia. He seems to be somewhat elusive these days, send me a message if you read this boy! This afternoon, Aidan told me about these weird dreams he’s been having about waking up in strange places alongside Stephen Fry. Just dreams of waking up in chapels, busy parks, building sites, and even in scenes from the TV show the Office. Who knows what goes on in that kid’s noggin? That’s anyone’s guess. There he is to finish off this update, farewell. x
