Basically trails are rad. Went up Caerphilly (Goldtecs) again last night and had a real good session. Marcus, Jim and I went up there. Marcus wasn’t feeling it too much so borrowed my camera and took some rad photos. That place is infested with these little bugs which eat the shit out of your skin and each one feel like have been stung by a nettle. Gotta get me some insect killer spray or something.

Me table. So good to be riding trails again, scares the shit out of me but can’t help myself. Best thing in the world. I got some shiny new Odyssey race forks too, a headset which actually doesn’t require power steering to turn and a monster dirt tyre for the front.

is looking good. Kye said “The route of the course is fairly similar to last year, just bigger and better. We decided to keep almost all of the major features including the huge dirt pipe and the big curve wall ride. One of the exciting new areas is the elevated quarter pipe, which also has a large bridge ledge. I think it’s going to be the gnarliest part of the course! This year’s course has been designed with more of a divide between the dirt and street side. There really is something for all the riders.”

So there you go, go out and ride and fail your exams.

So the Goldtec trails are running, pretty damn fun. Riding a lot better than they look in these photos. Wish I was up there now but stuck revising for exams… Sooo good to be back riding trails. Jim did the whole right hand line which gets pretty big at the bottom. I have ordered a dirt tyre for the summer. No more park tyre for me!

Jim flowing bad photo

Sorry for the bad photos but I was too busy riding to get any good ones. Get over it. And anyone who is waiting for photos of the Chepstow jam will have to wait. Bitches. xx

PS Oh and if you see Dean from Barry ask him how his bum is after he skinned it at the Chepstow jam, maniac!
