This is currently my wallpaper, best photo ever? I reckon so...
A couple of photos that haven't seen the light of day before for one reason or another.
Smithy from leatherhead, darkness moist whip
Sam, manning up. Take note James!
and three different angles of the same thing, Sam, 180 with a handlebar rotation
In other news someone sent me a link to this . Think it does a really good job of summing up everything thats wrong with mountain bikes these days. Luckily there are exceptions.

Whats the 'street' name for this these days, sling, bars? In the words of weird Mike 'Gareth, you are not streeeeet', so it's a barspin 180.
Hopefully trails will be riding soon, so last chance to man up and get down with a spade before the spring bannings come into effect.

The lightest stuff just got lighter!!:
"HITMAN BIKES owner Christian Simmonds claims to have what appears to be the lightest chromo trail / light park frame out now.
The "SIR HAN" is a naked 3 pound 10 ounce , post weld heat treated, 21 holed salute to old time BMX. Borrowing all the tricks from 30 years of bmx racing and freestyle has led to this drilled fluted butted tapered heat treated masterpiece. "Any frame will break", Christian said, but the post weld heat treating process (putting the whole frame in one giant oven) re- aligns the molecules in the chromo thus making it as strong as a 5 pound frame. Thinner tube diameters allows for thicker walls, coupled with shaved inner drop outs and carefully studied gusset placement should keep this frame rolling for a while under a smooth rider. "

Pics
Wooo.. . ok .. so ive got a load of photos to upload at the moment so im gona do them in stages of the next couple of days. Been pretty good weekend. Nice and sunny, some good sessions went down. So i got some pictures from CP, a street ride that we had tonight and some pics of Sam from back in Kingston town going crazy on plastic ramps. Check out the pics in a couple of days.
First off i have to put these pics up of the street ride we had tonight. Was different to normal Plymouth street rides, stuff actually got done. Rode the civic which is a standard in Plymouth and Ryan and Greg started doing long jumps with construction barriers, pretty big gaps went off. Ryan and myself did the theatre royale rail.. controlled stylieee, pretty chuffed, been wanting to do it for a while. Anyway check out the pics of the gapage below.
Greg nose down gapage.. along white ledge and over. done
Ryan tuck over.
Looks like Greg clipped it.. he didn't.. this was as far back it went

Managed to get to Mount Hawke the other night and get some pics in the last half hours of the session, here they are.. ive got another 3000 words of essay crap to write now.

Went to shoot a big street gap in Sutton with Jonny the other day, I was trying to do something a little different and fucked it up, sorry Jonny. Here's the result anyway.
As you can see it's pretty meaty, and what with it being absolutely bloody freezing I couldn't really ask him to do it again.
You could have seen this pretty sunset in real life if you'd been out digging...

Kev is looking for a new career path in snowboard modelling (seen in 247 mag) as he seems to think his bmx career of triple flip whips isn't going to take off.
sorry Kev couldn't resist
he also does good lookbacks
