So by now you’ve heard all the stories, therefore I won’t bother typing them out. here are a bunch of my favourite snap’s from the course. I haven’t updated recenty due to a combination of moving house and lack of internet, and the fact that I’ve been having so much fun riding, partying and smiling. So many more photo’s to update with too, should get back on it once our WiFi is dialled in. Enjoy these self-proclaimed treats.

SO finally went riding and partying with crew. Good times, the Shovelload house in Oxford is a bit of a treat a few shades lighter now due to a good old game of antiquing.

It's important to work out these days to stay at the top of the Oxford BMX game. Aiden shows Pipe how to do it

It’s weird riding at the Oxford spine mini now because everything else has been taken away so it is just literally the spine mini and a muddy, empty field. Ho knows what is going on with getting something proper built. Maybe my kids will get to enjoy it one day? Maybe. Street riding in Oxford is fun anyway, and it is always digging weather at the moment to…

Went to Grove with people after going out in Oxford.

Ed is not dead

Yeah it really is true I am not dead or given up on this site, life has just been a bit crazy and I have not even properly ridden my bike in over a month…

So since the last update loads of stuff has happened, mostly photo related. I won an international competition that Microsoft run so got to fly out to the states and won some money. That was pretty damn good. You can see stuff about that on my photography blog

I have been and worked at a news agency that a fellow BMXer (Brad from RadomBMX) also works at, and I have been up to The Times in London to do work experience there for a bit. Pictures are worth a thousand words and all that so here are some pictures from the last month or so…

Thats about all I can be bothered to write for now. Out
