PORC dirt jumps at Penshurst

juliojuliojulio — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:19:24 +0000

I stayed in on New Years Eve so I could get up early to go ride trails, hangover free.

I was definitely not completely untainted by the demon booze the next day but i did haul my ass out of bed at 8am to go to PORC.

It was so fun there – just Dave and myself and a wee kiddie whose mum worked in the caff. There were all different sizes of jumps, a sick looking downhill course and 4cross track set over 42 acres. The jumps seemed well built and drained well though they were slightly rocky in parts. It was only a fiver to ride everything, which i think is a bargain.

Unfortunately, after a great start, Dave crashed BIG TIME and snapped his scaphoid. So no pics of riding I’m afraid and a grumpy Dave for the next two months ; )

The lady who ran the caff gave bandages, tea, paractamol and a ride back to the train station. What a lovely lady! Thank you so much!

I got a couple of pics of the fella on the way back.

The Reason mag Oregon trip article

Back in January I was lucky enough to go to Oregon for an article for The Reason magazine with an awesome bunch of people. I had such a great time! Grab a copy of the mag from your local snowboard shop – it’s my favourite snowboard mag and well worth checking out. Plus, it’s completely free.

Here’s my shot from the piece – a rock fakie on a wall ride:

Trails at Teddington

juliojuliojulio — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 10:13:12 +0000

I haven’t posted on here for a while as I’ve been so busy moving house etc but there may be the odd post over at my Charge blog here.

Last weekend I took my BMX to Teddington to have a go riding trails. It was awesome! I just wish I had decided to ride trails a little earlier in the year rather than going now the summer is over. We had a good session but I’m probably gonna have to wait till next year now before I can go again as the weather is so crap as winter draws in.

This weekend is gonna be fun

juliojuliojulio — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 19:18:52 +0000

London’s Calling kicks off tomorrow with a HIPSTERCAT race. Now here was me thinking I could do my first alleycat as a bonafide messenger when it sounds like I’d have fit the bill better as a good old fakenger! On the plus side, I am no stranger to a pair of skinny jeans so hipster attire should pose no problem to me. Better dig out a pair of horrible shades and I’ll be good to go.

There’s all sorts of other stuff planned for the weekend such as footdown, flaming skidtels and all that but I’m off to my nephew’s tea party on Saturday and the Charge Cobble Wobble on Sunday so it looks like I’ll have to get my fill on the Friday.

The Cobble Wobble in Frome sounds like a good laugh; a sprint up a super steep cobbled hill, curries, BBQ and beers. Looking forward to that one!
