For peace and trust can win the day

Can finally watch web videos again, so might as well post one.

Carry more speed

His and hers, Will and George nibbling kung-fu.

Campfire Chit Chat

Remember the other night I mentioned the auction & Chicken dancing scene from the film Strozek?

Here you go....





PS. Check the quilted shirt, Lidel init.

Bicycle Porn?

Had enough of your goat? Maybe you should start to see your relationship with your bike in a different way. I found there's actually a series of movies about bicycle porn.

The Knopf

Goat Head

I told you there'd be goats. Sweet show by French at 50:50. Will, Will and I enjoyed the work and the free beer.



The butcher!





George, are you missing one of your favourite kicks?

What, riding photos?

Recent times. March 2009.

My internet connection is bung so it has been ages since i have bothered to upload any recent photos. so here are a couple.

Toby, chilling in trail shorts probably think about shit house doors or Barry Claymoore .









Boys on the roll in. Still needs to be taller and wider.














Will being all macho with his shirt right off.














Adi checking out macho will's hard work.













Will sorting a tree out.





So yeah, March has been dry. Too dry. There is so much left to be done. Ho Hum. Its definately been nice having some stuff running though. According to BBC weather we have a week of rain coming up. Fingers crossed.

the biggest barrows

Nothing but the biggest comittment down our woods. Every barrow is this big. Enjoy the sunshine, but where is this promised rain?

Hats Off To (Roy) Harper

Alright folks

To combat the credit crunch and for a bit of a laugh i am going to plant a load of veg at the woods. I figure the stuff that likes shade can go behind crossed swords, and the stuff that likes sun can go outside the treeline after the 5th in BF where there is a second treeline further out (to protect it from view of the road)

I am going to get carrott, onion and runner-bean seeds this week, if anyone wants to get in on this or just has ideas of other stuff we could grow, get some seeds.

Peace

Freddie's revenge

If you come down the track and show no respect, we'll unleash freddie! Don't underestimate the size of his teeth! If that don't work, there's George and his little book of Salt (pics please george)


More digging this weekend. The new lines are linking up but we need to get a move on eh. Exciting tho.




Well done Shanaze, we love you!

where we too kid?

Its been ages since I did a over view of whats been built so:


The new bowl is shaped and ready to go. needs a bit of rain and clay love round the lip and a bit more transition on the wall to the left of the photo, but its sweet. Oh and and it is deep enough to fuck with acoustics.

Second bowl is looking good, more shaping but certainly getting there. The back section of the pump track, as with the rest of the pump track, has undergone a lot of reshaping and building up. Now flows much betterer. innit. blud. The BF line round the back has been beefed up and is starting look pretty fucking ace. need the last hip put in link it into the big section at the bottom.
The BF line round the back (in front of the hut) has been beefed up and is looking pretty fucking ace.

Will the garden wreaker has spent many hours beautifully stacking up the big sets. just need water and smoothing out now.

Cross swords at the bottom will finish the big line and kung foo in a weird cross over berm. swish.


So there it is, a very productive winters digging. Thanks to everyone who came down and helped out at any point.

Please dont use the bank!

Went to the track after work today and found lots of tyre tracks from people using the bank as a roll in. Please please please, if you use the track, DON'T roll in from the surrounding bank. Use the new roll in.

We've been told by the highways people there'll be trouble if we use the bank for anything, so its a no go. That's why we're in the process of building a new roll in and had to get rid of the old one from last year.

If you see anyone using the embankment for a roll in or for diggin please let them know its not on. Sweet. I'll set the fox on to em else!

four sticks

haha bail! Austin i think


Summer's nearly here i can feel it in me bones. What did mark knoffler say?

Some people have got to paint and draw
Harry had to work iin clay and stone
Like the waves coming to the shore
It was in his blood and in his bones

lets pick up the diggin pace now: few more weeks of rain, then when that dries out we're into trails season i reckon...

Will

Theres a rat in the soup bowl what am I going to do!?



Freddie the Fox has dug another hole in the take off. Same one. Whats his problem?





Yo. Toby, Kung, Will, Rich and I (+ Chico) spent some time at the track this weekend. The weather yesterday was bloody shite but we had fun and got stuff done. We mostly worked on Kung Fu, the crossed swords and the mainline but we also fattened up a pumptrack lip and started the new line from the back of the rollin. I took a couple of snaps.
