Get involved! RADLANDS needs you!

I noticed this in the ads section of www.ridebmxmag.co.uk/ It's an online petition to re-open Radlands park so get your arses over to: www.petitiononline.com/radlands/petition.html
Sign it then tell EVERYONE you know to do same!!!

It's such a shame that Raddies stayed open all through the lean years & now BMX has blown up like it has & the park had to close... I'm sure you all have great memories of riding here, so do your bit & add your comments to the petition please!

If you already knew about this, slap me when next we meet ;-) & slap yourself for not telling me!

A few treats from taken by Nick lately; Chris turndown at Epic, me (Chaz) turndown at tin city, Craig with a sick twist at Epic. got loads of sicccck pic's like this these are a few of the best ones i could find straight away though. Need to sort out a little roadtrip, go somewhere different that most/all of us haven't ridden before. Any ideas? Chaz

yo al & wilco whats your views on the trickstar ll thinkin of maybe gettin one?....... do you know of any other sites that sell old school(skool?) stuff?

Christmas meet...

OK seeing as some of us have briefly discussed a get together over crimbo, I would like to propose an afternoon between Xmas day & New years day. Need you to post when you can make it please. Drinks would be optional & bring your own (depends on who's playing host - BK?) & we need some good DVD bike stuff to watch. Any other ideas???

Merry Christmas dudes!

Saturday's Shenanigans...

Rode for the first time in like a month on Saturday, good session indeed, I'm certainly feeling those bails today! Thanks to Ray, Chaz, Greg, Sumner & others for making it a good one. Nick if you have some foto's send them to me & I'll post them up...

I went & watched RF14 Yesterday & was gagging to get out again for a Sunday afternoon charge... but couldn't :-(

let's do it again soon then...

ray's profile...

i would like to draw your attention to the fact that ray thinks that the Beano is a book, and in particular one of his "favourites". You told me that you didn't read magazines anymore, and beano is not actually a book. If you want to add books to your favourites, the Beano isn't one; try my personal favourite series, 'Mr Men', or perhaps the ladybird books, which could qualify as novels for your favourite books. Thank you, Yours Sincerely, Chaz mann a.k.a. GOD

more pics from76&77...the car was bob haro's...never thought of the bonnet before reminds me of the days with 7 bikes &7 riders in the back of my escort van....could this be the 1st turndown, better not publish this pic, the fashion riders would not like the fact their doing an old skool trick!

Snake bites...

As I'm sure some of you will know, Fly Bikes are really pushing BMX forward. So did someone think of this before them?? Bikes have been around for over 100 years now, surely someone gave this a try before Fly did? Fab idea anyway...

Today's picture...

Old skool Rom action from www.radbmx.co.uk

So here's the deal...

I want it all! links, pictures, vid clips of everything & anything you think will be of interest. I want to cover all aspects of BMX too, so anything from Flatland to old skool to AA pros, as long as it makes for good reading, get it in!

& it wouldn't be sub without some nice girley pics of course ;-) though I will say, keep it within the boundaries of taste (BK) as I don't want the site removed!

l8rs

so somewhere to chat about bmx then...... still chat in a bit, off to ride

Welcome fellow freestylers

Greetings

To start, this is a continuation of what started out as a zine I produced a few years ago. I thought that it would be cool to have a place to post our thoughts about BMX & anything else interesting & should be a hell of a lot less hassle to keep up with unlike the hard copy editions! I will issue invites to some other dudes who can also post whatever shit they see fit...

Hope you enjoy this blog...
