I've been looking on the black bmx site for a long time now and always been impressed with the videos they have on there. This one im gona show you is no exception to that...
Definitely worth checking out BlackBMX regularly for some real good videos

It's Friday and I'm bored at work so I thought I'd put up a few Elevation pics from my trip to Canada back in the summer. Admittedly they're not my best work but I'm not really into the whole contest photography thing, too many fat americans who've blatantly never ridden a bike taking things waaay to seriously. Plus I was pretty hungover and feeling a little strange on a combination of fruit smoothies mixed with large amounts of free red bull.
Oh yes.
Leo obviously didn't see this sign....
....(mis-timed, sorry)
Probably my fave photo of the lot, Adam Baker clicking one
Dave Dilleward, nice
Spot Mr Doyle, on the way to a broken bike. Not surprising really.
Thats more like it
That Hucker fella, who despite the name actually turns out to be a really good rider and a sound guy
Nosey twists
James Foster of triple tailwip fame. No idea how many times it's going round here. Probably more than once.
Nyquist, grabbing his seat, turning the bars and taking a foot off all whilst rotating 360 degrees
Gary Young, turndown 3, I have another photo exactly the same as this, consistent.
Be good to see a few more updates from local people now James has fucked off back to wherever. Come one people.

After talking to some people who went to Mount Hawke the other night, general thoughts where.... well.. Its ok, pretty vague but i guess you don't know until you've ridden it yourself. Nice spine mini. Size similar to the Bristol Motion one. No rhythm section, same jump box. Ramps were pretty slippery and some odd decisions on layout but still potential. Apparently there's a step up landing on top of the mini ramp which some people found hard to ride so i guess some big pumping is needed. Apparently the park doesn't really flow but i think ill still go for the spine mini... next week maybe...
Street init!
You don't just jump into bed with Terry Tibbs, you take Terry Tibbs out to lunch, you wine and dine him, you give him an oil massage then he gives you £1950 if you're lucky!
A couple more pictures of the Street Jam last week. Also a couple people went to Mount Hawke the other day so ill find out from them what the new build is like and if it worth going. From the pictures of the construction it looks pretty good. Nice big spine mini and maybe a jump box rhythm section. Pictures from it soon.
Loads of people, no street ride in Plymouth would be complete without a stop at subway!
Totally forgotten your name.. double kinker rail out of nowhere. good work.
Feeble to 180
Jake Rail hop
Red bull hat hop
speaks for itself.. rail ride.. What doesn't speak for itself is kids doing flips down stairs.. parkcore. ha!

Saw this video on thecomeup site and realised it had lots of spots from uk.. scooters on a Monday night.. what more could you ask for..
Sherm talking about the video: "its like, convincing a girl to take it up the arse, and convincing a fat girl to take it up the arse. Both dead impressive, cos its quite a feat, but ones a bit...........shit"

Street Jam yesterday. Good turn out. More then expected. Some good stuff when on so cheers for Jack for organising it. Cant remember most of the peoples names that did stuff but big stand outs was the double kink rail grind and apparently the car riding...
Didn't really take and photos so expect a little video soon.
The organiser...
Here are some pictures of the jam from Jacob. Not many from the jam itself but look out for the video.. couple of days?

Its crazy the stuff that you find out down the skate park!.. Was down there the other day talking to Lard and Crux. They had some debate going about who's created the ultimate biscuit. There was a mentioned about some site that people with too much time on their hands have uploaded pictures of there 'Pimped snacks'.... well you got to see it to believe it...
Have a search through this page of links and be amazed...

Few more from Chertsey, some are jam, some are the day before
it's a no footed 3, nuts
I wasn't even going to put this pic of Jim up, but since it seems to annoy someone I thought I would.
Quick note, I get nothing out of putting pics up on this site, so I don't really give a shit if you don't like them being MTB or whatever. Sick riding is sick riding no matter what the wheel size in my opinion, and when you get down to it, riding any bike on dirt is far more BMX than street or park will ever be. Bicycle Motocross.
