Worrrrd all. I am Ed and I have a month to go before I can ride stupid little kids bikes again! I have started riding again a little bit, but taking it easy. I have always liked the Odessy Cielmcki pedals, and saw these version on their website. Thought they look pretty good, like you have already smashed your shins up before you have even riding with them! So here they are:

The new “Blood” Trailmix pedals are available now.

JIM CIELENCKI “BLOOD” TRAILMIX PEDAL

- Same shape, materials and spindles as the original JC pedal.
- Slimmed-down bridge sections and longer gripping pins.
- Knurl-free contact surface to prevent dirt from getting clogged.
- All new 17mm wrench-flat spindle ends (with 6mm allen key slots).
- Looseball
- Replacement pins included.

A load of mates are coming up from back home and one of them is DJing in Cardiff tonight so that should be good times. Byeeeee.x

Party time as of late, Jim went down on some poor girl and ended up looking like this. Get well soon luckily Rambo was there to help him out along with 9/11 survivor.

Only another month to go before I can ride again hopefully, will be rad. Chaz is gone to the land of sun and has already got pretty wild apparently. More soon.

Holy shit an update by me on here at long last. Has been a while. In the past few weeks I have mainly been drinking and taking non-riding photos. Student two 4 one on cocktails is always messy.. People should read Catfish. My shoulder is starting to feel better now, I can ride around on it, no stunts yet but still good to be back out riding BMX. Went out and took a few pictures yesterday in Cardiff.

The BMX scene was pretty good yesterday, 7 of us were out riding… Gotta be a record. Went to a school and people rode a pretty rad little bench setup thing.

That’s all for now. Maybe start going out rolling around more so expect more updates.

Alright internet people, Ed here again at long last. No updates for a while for lots of different reasons.

The main one being I still have another 2 months before I can ride a bike… Really can’t wait to get back on it, I start new physio I do have pictures kicking about to put up so will hopefully get on with that but got a lot of stuff to catch up on for website designs. I have also moved back to Cardiff for university which is amazing and split up with my girlfriend which sucks. My new house is dialled though and we are going to build a mini-ramp in the garden (actually true). I live with a BMXer (Jim) and a skater (Simon) so going to make that happen, dream come true?.

Cardiff is good to go out in. So update again soon…? xx

Got back from Amsterdam yesterday, good times. £40 returns, so can’t argue with that. Got a bunch of photos and stories so will put those up in the next few days…

Jim had been eying up this gap for a while, finally got round to taking a photo of it. Some people were doing spiny thing with those balls things, poi. Damn festival kids.

Here’s the goods. I made Jim do this a bunch of times, so his wrists are most likely ruined today! Couldn’t seem to get the photo to come out the way I wanted, but this was the best of the bunch.

Shoulder stuff

Looks like going to a skatepark, probably Newport later on today. Got my operation next Wednesday so will be off the bike properly riding for six long months, going to suck but will hopefully finally sort it out. If anyone is interested what the inside of my shoulder looks like it is something like this:

Apprently it shouldn’t look like that so they are going to fix me up and put it back into place. Two years plus is a long time not to be able to ride properly so fingers crossed it will work out.

Expect an update later today from Newport I guess.
