Bikes but not BMX 

Not ideal conditions for the first round of the mini4gb minibike race series but I spent half the day stood in the rain taking photos of this carnage. Looked a good laugh though.

Brakes are cool.

The Culture show were filming at southbank and had security guards trying to keep riders from getting near the stacks of gear they had there. Lauren Laverne is now safely in the bank. Say something for me in northan.
Stu found this on flicker. Some of the tourists who think they're photographers can right twats jumping out of no where setting flashe's off in your face sticking their cameras under you wheels and never asking if its ok to take pictures. Others are a little less blatent and you'd never have known they were there. This shot is by one of the latter. On a lunch break back in april im guessing.
Decent Pic, terrible boneless though.

There are soo many videos kncking around they all seem to merge into one but this is definatley the best one ive seen in a while. Ricky Bates's Sputnic video as seen on the comeup ,where else?.

Day 4 














WOW.. its such a good feeling getting some slides back. i shoot digital loads but i do find it awesome to look through slides.

ok so this is Day 4. i will do the other days in order but i wanted to put these up.

We turned up to State Collage PA real late and stayed the night there. We went to this local skatepark to the house we were staying at. We turned up and this park was nothing special. Slippy but I guess it was cool to go to. This dude turned up didnt really say much but all he did was ride the park like it was the x games. Good to see him ride but i dunno maybe a bit to in your face?

We drove to Woodward and tryed to get a ride we met up with mike spinner who tryed to get us a ride but we had no luck.

The drive from woodward to the rope swing was amazing. We stopped off at this fresh water spring. The water was so fresh.

I have some digital photos and some black and white photos of Day 4 they will be up in the next few days.

Meridian 



Here's a pic of the new madera sprocket called the meridian which i used to think went thorugh out house but it turns out it missed it by about 15ft in to the neighbours garden. When i get one through i'll educate you a little more on what the meridian is and take a shit of the chainring at its birthplace, the meridian lines birthplace that is.
Here are a couple of pics of the new section at the back of plystn whoops i mean bay66 skatepark. Thye're having a bit of a revamp at the mo. Ere's what Local Tommmy has to say:

"Only a small bit is open.
the jump box is ridable,only about a third of the street course is there.

But fear not on the 9th of june it will fully rideable. The back bowl section looks amazing and i am sure the rest will be just as good.
plus its being built by the guys who done interact at burnley,and they are bmxers as well dropping no names but "perico" of fly bikes."
pics soon ??????????????????????????????.
i have a demented computer screen so the bowl looks a little mellower than the plans but it should all be fine if that's what they're following. Biff sent me the plans a while ago, was definitely time for a change.

WOW FDR 





iv been home a few days now, well a weak infact. america is amazing and i will update the site properly but here are some photos from FDR. now all the people who went with me will all pretty much agree that FDR is amazing. i was talking with mike netley before i went and he said how good it was. i have to say that it is the BEST PLACE iv ever been to ride my bike. there is no where in england that comes close to that place. it was built around 13 years ago. the skateboarders were given a patch of land under a bridge and it started from there. We met this one skateboarder who has been going there for years. He goes on google earth and looks for pools to skate. its crazy.

the photos above are from one of the locals there i dont no his name.. that place is ace.

Tokihiro Sato. Now how amazing would it be to have a nicely separated flash lit rider grinding that rail in a photo that much work gone into it, risky business. How long do you recon that exposure is?.
