Yesterday, what a glorious day! The sun was out yet again, this time in full force with not a cloud in the sky! Being to hot to ride the bleak tarmac and burning copings of the skatepark, me and joe decided a spot of trail riding was due. As the day wore on, we were joined by Mark, Goaty and Shoji. I snapped a shot of Mark killing the second set with a styley no hander.
Yesterday was a good day, the sun was out and the full force of bury’s senior bmx crew headed for the welcoming streets of Peterborough. Out of protest, Goaty stuck to his guns and rode alone.
Before we had even arrived to our destination outside the concrete banks of Peterborough’s law courts, ‘McNick’ had already twitched himself a hefty insurance claim and ‘ the car with no sense of direction’ drove further and further into oblivion.
We started by reuniting ourselves with some familiar spots such as the whole circumfrance of peterborough’s law court! This place has got it all! And the security is non-existent! Joe managed to cleanly hop a metal box from a wall that Rizla had previously ‘cresswelled’, Mark killed the stairs with some corby influence and American john pulled out some very ‘maurer’ style manual 180 gaps to end the session.
Directed by Rizla, we then visited a spot none of us had ever seen which consisted of some more perfect concrete banks to a this time perfect wallride on either side of the road! Apart from the constant flow of peterborough’s suburban community, the session went well, with the majority of us pulling some complementary wallride 180’s. To no suprise, I was the last to pull it along with some previous ‘bone to concrete’ contact.
The day continued and ended with a familiar pit stop at McDonald’s, where we grabbed the opportunity to film American John ride away from a very lengthy foot high ice pick grind along a rail! Possibly the best thing of the day! We finished by visiting a spot Joe attacked with vengeance! Joe’s past with this spot proofed revenge is sweet as he exited the rail with ease! 50-50 grind clean as you like! Shoji found that this was not a rail worthy on his list.

This is abit Luke Truman, but I thought I would be really original and share with you some of the music I have ‘obtained’ recently. Check em out!
Yes its true, we have finally pulled our fingers out from our arses and dug some jumps! The bury scene is renowned for riding other peoples trails without actually lifting a finger of their own! So last winter me and joe started the dirty work and began shovelling! Goaty and mark have tried claiming the land by making thier own signature stupid, half-arse, ‘fuck it, that will do’ jumps.
Arguements aside, a few of us were down there yesterday, chilling and throwing some harry tricks. Mark landed a few ‘wiggly as shit’ barspins over the last, and some complementry turndowns and tables for fasion. Goaty pulled some very ‘anti bmx’ step through one handers, and myself attempting some very ugly t-bogs to one hander lander. Shoji was asleep.
Here are a couple of the photos I took with my ‘new’ Polaroid Sun 600 camera! After a swift withdrawel of my savings account and a brief moment of pessimism, I was so glad to see it actually working!! I also took a photo of young greg…he’s nice.
You probably don’t care, but the other week I found a Polaroid Sun 600 in the window of a charity shop going for five whole pounds!! Without even the slightest consideration whether to invest of not, I grabbed the opportunity and walked out with my first instant camera!
So pleased! Just thought I would share this with the world. I will post up the results as soon as I got something worthy, which will probably consist of something quite mundane and boring to most.
Oh, and one more thing… If you are inspired to find one of these or something similar, the film packs for these camera’s are pretty ‘cheap’.
Get snapping!
Just some old footage taken from my phone of myself and Joe going upside down at Corby Skatepark! And greg’s anal climax. Enjoy!
Last Friday’s street session was probably the best ride I have had on my bike in a long time! The session began at the stairs outside MFI on the Morton Hall industrial Estate where some dodgy hop 3’s and pick up barspin attempts went down a treat! Joe also managed to pull out a manual gap to 180 down a mountanous set of two!!…Fuck yeah!
It was also custom to see Phil work his usual wizardry, this time, on a ghetto ramp hammered together with a couple of screws and sheet wood from one of the skip’s behind homebase. Phil ‘the frosty chill’, tyre tap to nosepick as sweet as you like!
We finished with a legendary session at Matalan bank! Phil’s manual 180 to halfcab down it sealed his place for best trick…of course…FUCKING GIT!!
If you havn’t guessed already, i’m leaving in about half hour to Estonia.
I have clothes, a camera and a tooth brush.
Not much really else to say other than….
IT’S GOING TO BE FUCKING RAD!!
Laterz. Will be back on monday so come back then.
