kung's contribution

Kung from randombmx.com popped along and took some photos during my birthday party. He has kindly allowed me to cut copy paste them onto digmore......enjoy.

skeletor or murray

If he isnt finding new lines on a borrowed bmx he will be looking like skeletor on his bike that is too big to ride on a pump track. it doesnt slow him down. I give you murray.

more from the 14th

motion blur. russ. ash. my birthday cake. chico.

ma birthday party

the sun came out to play. cider was drunk. bbq's were fired up. fun was had. the pumpie was running quick and duncan and naren got the trails running. thanks to everyone who the effort to make it a cracking day. more photos to follow.

trails cont.

naren and duncan have dug the second set in the trails line.....its big and steep. sorry for the really dark photo. tres crappy camera phone.

just go these fresh new pads through from the guys at variflex, cant wait to see how they hold up on the pump track. nice.

gotta love adsa

found these treats in asda the other day. they both didnt make it through the weekend they were bought.

in and out

Another reference to dirt magazine, where I have just read something that goes like this:

"...the hidden entrance is the key to preservation on the reservation ... I vary the route through the brambles so as not to leave any evident trail. As soon as the start to your track becomes obvious you'll attract all kinds of waifs and strays."

This is something that I've mentioned to a couple of people - I think that we should make a group effort to keep the entrance hidden - the route used by most at the moment is pretty obvious from the road - and the last thing we want is a busy body dog walker rambling through and letting the wrong people know what they've found...

Any thoughts?

While you ponder this, a few more pics to revive the long lost memory of last weeeks sunny evenings...

summer is here

ha fooled you. its isnt. the bowl looks like a swmming pool. ace. digging for bank holiday monday then.

Vintage Vivenne Westwood High Waisted Woolen Trousers

I was going to put 'video' as the title for this post but when i pressed 'V' 'Vintage Vivenne Westwood High Waisted Woolen Trousers' popped up. i guess thats what you get for living with 3 girls and let them use your laptop. well sorry to disappoint, no fashionalble slacks here, just a crappy quality video from my phone of me, duncan and martin training round the pumpie. the image quality reminds me of those happy slap videos that were all the rage a couple of years ago. i half want a hooded youth to pop out from behind a tree and slap me while a couple of his scally mates laugh their arses off and his girlfriend, probably called something like chantel or chardonnay breaks a bottle of lambrini over my head. that would be cool.

digmore "snapper"

Note the use of the word "snapper" instead of "photographer" - I'll leave that title to Mike, who I'm sure would have a thing or two to say about my composition, angles, lighting and all that pro talk!

If I can do one thing though, it's trial and error, so I'll keep posting the better shots out of the hundreds of attempts here for you wonderful models....

A couple of points of note:

• If you'd rather not have shots of you online, just let me know.
• If I'm there snapping away and putting you off / blinding you / getting in the way - just say so and I'll happily hop on my bike and do a few loops instead.
• If you want photos of a particular corner / jump / tree just let me know and we can session it.
• ...and finally, if you want to use the camera, that's cool too.

addicts

A while ago, dirt ran an article discussing the different ways that we all act out our addiction to the sport, well I have some more evidence.


Exhibit a) this boy is a digging machine




Exhibit b) "It takes a lot to keep me off my bike..."






Exhibit c) Well, more riding shots...










Exhibit d) We keep riding and digging even though the X-files tree has spread all around the track...
