Went down to Boyds jumps earlier, was entertaining to say the least. Think George and Will are going to be feeling it tomorrow. Here is Captain Digmore with his best chimp impression.
Had these kicking around for ages but only just managed to get them scanned.
ello.
The jumps have been attacked for the 2nd time in as many weeks. the lips wrecked as before plus the 2nd in BF plus a bunch of other mindless stuff like pulling the hut down and trashing anything they can. oh what i would to to catch the gromits that are doing this. it sucks mostly because the water trough is dry and we used most of the water to fix them up last time. now we dont have water to fix up again or water the jumps which are getting pretty haggard after this dry spell we are having. ho hum.
Herrmann the Gerrmann was back in town, brought a bunch of northern dudes down the woods last monday. I am pretty shit with names, but Scott the punk, merlin and mole stick in my mind. but there was about 10 of them and all rad guys. Mole flaired the bowl and tyre tapped the tree next to bowl, impressive stuff. Will also showed me a video he had put together for the lights in the woods site. its called skeleton on the dunny, its a load of re-edited footage and will has got hold of some program that degrades the quality so it looks like its a VHS. Sick:
The trails having but running quick this week, and plenty of ideas for rebuilds and new lines over the winter.
The weekend has a good one. Birmingham friday for Adi's exhibition, was good to see the final piece and i think he sold a fair few as well.
Drove down to Devon with Kung on saturday for Toby and Jess's housewarming, a real nice mellow BBQ. their new cottage is a million miles different to the flt in bristol, which in Toby's words looked like the inside of a Ipod. The view from their garden is killer:
Sunday we went and poked around at decoy, i was riding like a lame mule so didnt bother much. but it was rad to kick back and watch ferret and toby roasting, have a look at the photos kung put up...kung also got some good shots of ferret in decoy's new bowl for ride's park warden. Went and slept on the beach in the afternoon sun. I like devon. A lot.
Turns out Toby is massive in Leeds. A proper fan club, one member even drove down to Brum to buy one of Adi's drawings. Living the charmed life. That is his own vineyard on the hill in the background?! On the phone to someone important, probably sorting out a meet and greet in Leeds. Serious.
As part of Digmores attempted global domination plan, there is now a proper web address, www.digmore.co.uk, so update your bookmarks. The digmore.blogspot.com is still running but will look into setting up a wordpress site next week, maybe.
After god knows how many years of running randombmx.com, updates have been slack to say the least. While deciding what to do with it, that now also redirects to the digmore site.
we just need yeahroy.com and trailsandales.co.uk now.
Why havent I been at the woods for the last 2 weeks? Cos I've been off the booze, locked in the studio drawing and painting pictures of you lot to go in my show thats why ;-)
The show is part of the Inkygoodness ' Wonderland' exhibition at the Vaad Gallery in the Custard Factory, Birmingham. It opens tomorrow with a party at 7pm, you're all welcome but I know its a long trip so not expecting anyone to go (although I think George is up for it).
The Theme was wonderland and I thought instead of doing some fantasy type thing I;d do the weird characters and creatures that live down the track. You lot. I've got a print done of the main collage (A3 giclee print) so if anyone want one let me know, I've ordered 10 so far. (adi@twoand8bmx.com) The originals are all for sale and there'll be some prints too. Hope you like em and hope I havent offended anyone. If you're not on the poster its cos you aint been diggin enough clearly. hah
