C.U.N.T?

Well ain't I the consummate BMXer? 2 sessions in as many weeks! I better slow down a bit. Arrangements were made to meet up at the park for 5pm-ish, so it was off into the sun again. I love the feeling I get when I'm heading out to ride & the weather is good...

Was great to catch up with Milkey as I've not seen him for a year or so (besides the brief 10 mins meet @ ROM last August) & so we had plenty of slagging off of the current state of BMX to get off our chests. Bob K put in an all too brief appearance & disappeared soon after, due to 'van issues' which I won't go into... I started to get the feel of the ply again after feeling a little bit sketch the last time down & made some nose picks, nothing new there then. Chris & Rayo turned up & got going, with Ray nailing every trick in his (very long) list, I saw him make a wall tap to manual out which was grand. Some of the local kids were heckling some loner guy on a unicycle who seemed to be rehearsing for the next 8-mile movie although I couldn't understand a fucking word that was streaming from his mouth...? hey-ho...

Well it was nice to get out while the sun was shining & the weather report for the rest of the week was bad, although today looks set to be a nice one again...

Well as the title suggests, perhaps see you next Tuesday?

1st of the year...

14th of March & I got to dust off the bike to go & session Spice ball ramps for the first time this year. It's a nice feeling that we are coming out of the winter season & cutting work early is always a good thing ;-) So, I arranged to meet up with Ray as it was his birthday - congrats mate!

Nice to see some of the local boys sticking with it & all riding well, John's Footjam nosepicks were grand, totally like the old classic nosepick, boned out & real nice. Ray had the usual fire in his eyes & appeared to be in training for the upcoming 12 hour all nighter @ Epic this week end - go boy go! I was being reserved as ever, playing it safe & just trying to get back the feel of the park again, I really should ride more...

Today is 'sore back' day again! I'm not perturbed by it at all & can't wait to get out again though, so see you next week... weather permitting of course.
