It is yet to be propperly sessioned due to shockin weather... a few of us have had a nibble and personally i love it althought i keep on getting complantes from a few homo's like "the stairset is to close to the flatbank" and "the ledges and rail are too steep" i think its a treat! come down and make your own opinion... (just wait a week or so because the park is a swamp at present) anyways, ive had my mini rant hers some pics,

Whooooa.... Cancel my new Standard frame I'm getting one of these bad boys.

So I'm driving to work today and I see this poster saying Tesco are selling BMX bikes for £39.99 and at the same time as I drive past this poster there is an ad on the radio for Tesco saying BMX bikes are now just £39.99

I have mixed feelings on this but fuck it... it deserves a rant.
The BIG co-operate powerhouse stores just keep getting bigger and bigger, recession or not! they ain't taking no prisoners. Are things getting so bad that in the future we will only have a two or three business in existence selling us everything?.... How about a Tesco value car? House?..

On the other hand, guess it is not so bad. If it gets a youngster into BMX and come boxing day when the shops re-open and daddy has to take junior into the local bike shop to get these suckers fixed because they folded jumping off a curb the bike shop can open their eyes at to how crappy the bike they have is.

I really dunno what to think?..... discuss

where it all began !!!!!!!!

A few weeks ago i had a pretty savage opp on my toe... yess you heard me right, my toe! was pretty brutal as i watched the whole thing while the doc was digging round the bed of my nail with a scalpal and then rippin it out with some tweesers. Check out the pick below of the finished product and hopefully i will find one i had after the opp when it got infected... set you up nicely for tea!

Ya gotta love tight jeans!

Bmx race champ? pegs gyro and a front brake???

I spent the weekend down in Cornwall a few weeks ago and ended up at the track where they have rad dirt jumps full on race track, massive foam pit out doors and a ressy jump box and quarter pipes. i was then bullied in to racing round the track in 3 motos in between doing flips on the ressy and trying to teach mtb kids to tailwhip over the ressy box. 1st moto i won 2nd moto dead last 3rd moto i won, then in the final i mucked up the gate start and was last in the first corner then i managed to catch people up and get a 3rd over all, then i had to leave to get back to London and didnt realize i got a medal for my efforts, it turned up this morning thanks to Toby grizzwold posting it up to me. really put a smile on my face today. :-)

Halloween pictures

Myself and the guys from the house of doom ended up going to the crossfire halloween massacre in london . skate ramp live bands and dj sets from some famous bedroom dj people? turned out to be a good night and people really made an effort with all the costumes.

Not Budget Jam.

Budget jam didn't happen because of our best friend the good British summer. Scotty Hamlin still did a 180 flip over the spine (I don't think you should call it a flair if you're landing backwards) which was pretty cool. Here's a couple of pics I got before it rained again. Actually one i got before it rained again, the other on was while it was raining.



Also I got the Ferarri Bike at last. It came to me in a dream. Actually it came to me in the back of Hitchcox's Vito, who cares, it's fit.

New Whip (bruzinator 5000)

I put my new part on that i kindly received from mister Hitcher. the new Johnny D signature frame "the Vow" and the new Sputnic rear "Rewind" hub...

Personally, i think it looks the bollox! the frame is gurt lush and the hub's engages shupa fast! the hub is rather snazzy with its 6 paw driver it feel like a nice, solid hub and weighs 17.03oz! round of applause for ol' sputnic thankyou please!
