Boxing Day

So Christmas day ended up being pretty rad, eat some nice food, got some good stuff, gave some good stuff out, chilled. Good times, pretty rad after last year in Australia to do the standard thing and feel fatter than Johnny Vegas afterwards.

Had some f-in awesome nights out since Friday, including the Lightsinthewoods Christmas do. Then a night in Wantage ending up walking Miles across fields down a haunted path with Pipe looking for a Great Western train. Then Xmas Eve Eddie Chaffe, Josh and I went for a rad meal; afterwards I met up with a bunch of sweet old friends, saw some rad dude do hours of acoustic singing classics and got wild as shit.

Here’s a couple of snaps of what I did Boxing Day (cheers Turner). Found a santa outfit while we hung with Richy P at Pizza hut and eat his complimentary staff free pizza for him. Then jumped over sign off a bank which was fun. Fun street session today, just got fucked up aching elbows now from too much yanking up in the cold. Peace and love. x

Bmx and more

So here is a small update with a few things that have happened to me lately. there are some more rad photo’s I have too, but have a bit of a backlog due to a lack of photo editing software of late. Guess the old program shit the bed, cheers a million to Yak for sorting out Photoshop.

Winter looks like it is well and truly on our doorsteps, shorter days and colder nights are horrible. The thought of spending winter here is disgusting, Australia was such a sweet time, I’d do alot to be there for three months this winter again. From now on I plan on saving my pants off and hibernating so as to get the hell out of here next year. Make the most of every dry session left, if there even is going to be any more until spring time. Adios.

One day of fun documented

I have alot of fun on a regular basis, so the other day I took a bunch of photo’s for the first time in a long time. Here is one day’s worth of getting awesome round home way…

This day was really nice. Empire of Dirt update to come, I’m sure you’ve seen stuff elsewhere already, basically one of the best weekend’s I’ve ever had, so many stories to be told.

Summary

Decided my computer was thirsty the other night, so fed it some water. Unfortunately, she was allergic to water and died. Managed to save the hard drive luckily so the last three years worth of photography, music, videos and more were saved, phewwww. Here’s some fun I’ve had lately.

Bank Holiday recollections

I guess the theme of this renewal of the website is stuff that happened this bank holiday weekend. So Friday afternoon I went Topman shopping with my mother and got some sweet jeans on her discount card, splendid. Leamington was the location, and hot chicks everywhere were the highlight. Afterwards I got jiggy with Richy P on our little bikes, we rode the park and got savage, followed a real good little street session. We both did a couple of lines which we were fully pumped on.
Afterwards we headed to Rich’s house and his mum cooked us homemade burgers, so dialled, I love his parents! Watched some Soprano’s which were grand, chiller night.

Next day – Saturday. Involved more of the same down the skate park, only with Stratford and Project 5 crews down the local. One dude in particular shredded, and I took no photos, dick’ed. The guys from Stratford who came over are always a pleasure, that was grand. Plus Galt has a section in the bonus on summer of madness for proof, go watch.
Saturday night we hit up out friend Laura’s birthday party, bloody splendid it were. Got told off by PC Plod for street drinking on the way, got loose on the dance floor everywhere we went, stole a bike with two flat tyres from some place. I was spotted running out of the club across the high street in front of a car screaming at 3AM, funk knows. It was a lovely night.

Sunday I awoke feeling shitty, and looking at a bleak morning. Obviously, Grove jam was going on, so myself and my good friend Tobin were heading there, because you don’t wanna miss out on cupcake stalls. All the way there the weather looked dodgy, and by the time we had almost reached Grove the heavens had opened. Little Timmy tried to clear up the park with a single towel, commitment indeed. After a little Wantage excursion, we detoured to 157 instead, where we chilled with Aidan and Madonna, and did the usual computer based BMX nibbling and heckling. Semi dry Radley then kindly treated me to a hole in my inner tube, so we headed down the new park. Now I’m not a massive fan, but Danny boy shredded it, he loves grinding you see. I actually used my camera, hoorah for no flashes.

Recovery Monday some may call it, and that it was. I think someone put something in my drink Saturday, seriously. Danny boy Tobin, Tombo and I crammed ourselves into Tobe’s 106 and headed to the rescheduled Grove jam. Crammed was an understatement at it’s best, remember to shotgun the front in future. Popped into the woods where Moses was looked ten times better for some beefing up, and had a chill with Aidan, Jen and Sweep. Grove was a pleasure as always, saw Local, it had been a while, and all the usual suspects. Good times riding a rad park, that mini is amazing. Poll in particular did heaps of rad stunts, a seemingly rare site seeing him ride that much – yes the bike show master!
Best weekend in a while, just trying to remember what’s making me feel so bad still now, not the best. Hopefully tomorrow I shall be able to get to the woods and help Pipe make benches and sort out boggy footpaths. All depends on old Herby, my magical new car with a mind of it’s own! Until next time. x
