Although the site went down for a while, Homer obviously decided he had too much time on his hands and has resurected it. There is some info on new ramps being built at Derby Storm, which sound real good. Take a look.

Another trails jam this weekend at Epsom trails.

Some photos from the Winchester trails jam that took place on Sunday. Chris Brock won best run (double can to x-up the first set and tail whip the second), I won the raffle, Gav from Brighton pulled a 450 over the 20ft hip and some guy on a mountain bike tried to back flip the same jump.

As Lee mentioned earlier, that thing called work has been eating up valueable riding / slacking / internet and media ferreting time. The bonus side of working was travelling around Scotland for a week, being able to see concrete parks like this. Here are some photos of a fairly new park in Kemnay near Aberdeen.

Due to unforeseen circumstances both myself and Kung have had to do some work recently. Because of this unusual event there have been a noticeable lack of updates on the site.
Random BMX hopes to resume normal activities once things quieten down and Kung gets over the shock of having to do something more than get out of bed.

New concrete park opening just outside Worcester soon. The midlands equivalent of Warrington?

Newly opened Stourbridge park has the 6" X 30" mini finished. £1 to the first person to hit their head on the ceiling (don't let that put you off, the ramp is perfect).

there's a new member at Epic. A big hello to Joanne Chan???

The latest issue of Soul Music Magazine is now online to download. http://www.soulmusicmag.co.uk

Hmmm, could really do with some news and updates on here.

Taliban tom sent me this link about a new Odyssey stem that George French is working on. http://www.odysseybmx.com/dailyword

It's the Decoy trails jam this weekend, should be loose as fuck. They've got a sound system sorted, loads of prizes and the trails are running real well.

There are some photos and stuff to add as soon as they are scanned, edited etc
