So a few weekends ago myself and this silly nana headed North for the weekend to the land of Brighouse…

We were warned of rain but greeted with this…it was even raining at Tesco in Brighouse but pulled through for the woods five minutes away

Dan no longer lives with Diesel the scary guard dog, Black dog and Jack, but we did pop by the farm to see some gurning cattle

Saturday night we stayed at John and Dan’s place. They sorted us out with food, intoxication and hospitality. Ride Uk Oct’ 1995, Slades, treats.

Ash, aged 12. Nuts.

This is how our days were spent, barbeque smoke, chilling area, perfect jumps, doesn’t get any better

Dan dialing in, he runs a super tight ship at that place, everything is always mint and running. He even has a washing machine named Candy…

Jack hip blasting

Jack is a rad dude. He ‘got his first Bmx in ‘84, but didn’t start riding proper ’til ‘87′. I was born in ‘87. Whilst staying round the house we watched Barry on a Grifter, which is mainly early 1990’s footage, much of which Jack saw live at the time. So much Bmx history it’s unreal. After a few bangers, he even used his Dr Dolittle-like powers to lure a moth into thinking it was a parrot and sit on his shoulder, which was suitably named Keith. So funny in the moment.

Two shots of Dan on a super rad jump getting super rad

Aidan took a shot of me on an awesome hip. During this moment I was really really happy.

John also spent time in Australia, alot more than me. He seriously has the place wired, and makes a mean fry up.

Wafting

Dan blasting the wacky new line. Every jump is different from the last and equally as fun. Jack is most probably just out of frame cooking up some sort of seafood, or perhaps even more fresh pasta…

Overview of what Bmx means to me

John blasting a mean flatty. He and Aidan also got their spins on on a bigger jump but my flashes were dead

360 X up, back line, dialled as funk.

Aidzilla, tuck no hands, take 134. We have lots of fun lots of the time. He had a wet dream the night we stayed in Wakefield, filthy little bugger

One of my favourite stunts, Dan’s style rules. Locals on their own jumps is always a good time to watch.

So that’s it for this much delayed update. Haven’t taken many snaps lately, been having good times a’plenty down our place over the last few weeks. Luke Peeters took some good ones the other day, and did something on a berm that was absolutely obscene. Video of that somewhere some day I hope…
Enjoy the sun whenever you can. I rode a skatepark for the first time in a while yesterday, mainly spending the short while contemplating why I wasn’t in the woods. Trails season is on.
