Got back from my girlfriends house who lives near Cheltenham in Gloucestershire so thought I would put some more photos up from the skatepark there. This is Pipe doing something. Most of Gloucestershire is semi under water. The pumping station got flooded which meant that we didn’t have any running water. So couldn’t flush toilet or have a shower. Pretty mad world really, things you take for granted are just not possible anymore. Her house wasn’t flooded cause it was on top of a hill but a lot of places were. Luckily we had lots of bottled water to drink.

When we went there on the trip before it was a real nice day, no floods there then. Lima flows the big box.

Lima tweak on the jump box again. The park near the skatepark had water about 6 foot deep in places over the last few days. I am hoping the goverment will see sense and building huge transitioned drainage ditches all over the place… Maybe with the odd full pipe included just incase? You know it makes sense.

Here’s a group shot I don’t think I put up before. Weather is a bit better today, hopefully will stay this way for a bit.

Gotta love pissed off security guards. Worst job in the world? Good video though.

There are more pictures from the Cheltenham in the Aversion roadtrip day one update.

Chaz has got some good flow going on. I am out of the sling now so starting the long old physio road to recovery. Had first session today and it hurt a lot, but already seeing improvement so I am real happy about that. Still can’t pick anything up for next couple of weeks, but at least this isn’t one handed typing anymore! I can’t really move my arm more than about 45 degrees in any direction which is an odd feeling cause when I was in the sling I didn’t realise just how limited the movement was.

Going to Cheltenham for a few days to see the lady. Aprrently there is no water in the taps at her house so I may be getting very thirsty, but will probably be able to just drink it out the street in Gloucester! Weather is too nuts these days, just hope it’s not like this every summer from now on. Maybe people will take global warming serious now? Who knows, probably not.

So if anyone from Cheltenham reads this I might be down the park something this week I guess, or in town for a sneaky pint. Holla at me!

So day one of the Aversion road trip… Going to put up pictures from each day of the Aversion trip in the next few days. Team Bew BMX was me (Ed), Chaz and Aiden. We all squeezed into Chaz’s Clio and set off. The first day we all met up at Cheltnam Pitville park. Had wanted to go there for ages so was rad to finally go there. You can do cicuits round the outside and keep going all day. Also 3 boxes!

Benny with a turndown at height.

Lima (thanks Chris) with a hip air

All the locals completely shred the place, Benny is so good it’s un-true! Turndown over one of the hips.

And one over the volcano… The ramps were pretty slippery but still fun.

You have to see these to beleive them, Benny 360 stunt over the box.

Kickout by Aversion Louis, the man behind ‘organising’ the trip.

Louis again with a good table on the box. First time properly meeting Louis and its safe to say he is a super nice guy, and well done for sorting out the trip idea. Go look at the Aversion website for more stuff from the trip.

Another local Tomwith a turndown. I missed the box but never mind eh

Pipe kickout on the box. Pipe also backwards hopped over a rail which was way good but I didn’t get any media.

Gav Shorthall had a broken rib but was still shredding real good - nosed in 360

Un-turndown by Higgins.

Wow. Invert at height by Benny, the rest of the trip looks on in awe.. Chaz geting his camp on in the background.

Gav 360 on the street spine.

Benny quater table

Team aversion trip! And some locals too.

I think this already got onto the internet, but still rad. Human tower. Crazy Antix Pete is still at the top of his game!

Not long after…. Check Cheltbmx for more Cheltnam BMX stuff

First day’s riding was real good, everyone was getting their trick on. We were originally going to Bristol that night, but ended up going to Pipe’s house, then onto some poor girls 18th party at a Rugby club… Good times were had, and too much destruction caused. Wantage is amazing.

Day two will be put up in next few days so check back.
