Today I wrote A Message..and Allot of people responded

On facebook this has had over 100 likes in under and Hour, Many people Have shared it and commented on it, more and more people are reading it and realising they need to pick up a bmx!  Spread the love, don't forget where it came from :)


Bmx is that one thing that has always been there for you, that one thing where everyone else can fuck off and you can be happy, your problems are gone and even facing them is easier, When your riding you have a real group of friends that actually give a fuck as part of the deal and your not being a sweaty nob on the computer. 


Bmx Is the best thing that has ever happened to me and to thousands of people it has set free from fear and given them confidence, self motivation, simplicity and a reason to believe. Thanks everyone 2012 is already amazing.

New Cranks from Eastern Bikes

So eastern have a new kid on the block that totally rocks so much they have named it the Motley Crank set!
These feature some of the same materials as the cranks I have had for over a year and a half now so you know they are going to be good:

-Full heat treated chromoly crank arms
-High quality 19mm full chromoly axle
-16 splined for less slipping and better value
-can accept micro drive sprockets left or right hand side
-many colour choices
-Pro rubberised allen keys and grease Included!

Perfect for anyone looking for cranks that will handle real bmx riding at a good level whilst staying at a price that is less than you might think...But without further information from me, listen to Leigh Ramsdell as he talks in the most excited voice of the year.

Hengrove Bristol, The "Adam Dear Gap"

Did a gap today at Hengrove in Bristol that I am not sure has been done before, I once seen a video of an amazing rider known as Adam Dear try this gap a long time ago at a jam but sadly he did not clear it and got pretty seriously injured..Well today I decided to send it a few times and even found the idiocy to do some tricks over it, this video was the only one that was filmed though, the first no hander was better but this back wheel lander will have to do:) Still, had an amazing ride with my friends and we all did something good that today. Just another Sunday to us haha.

This was a handmade ramp made by locals of a town that moved away from society in Copenhagen. The place was amazing, they sell drugs and don't allow cameras but it was truly amazing, everyone socialized and people were good to each other, really loved this place. google it "Christiana"

The First Sit-Down-Backflip

To be honest I didn't see enough smiling faces or a good enough time happening for the international guys who were at NASS this year, so whilst pissing about with my friend Wayne Maggs, I came up with the inspiration to make him stay there whilst enough people passed him round to do a backflip....Needless to say we had a good turn out and even Australian happy Wizz Kid Todd Meyn had a helping hand just to make this video more pro, We also did this with a tailwhip in too!

Straight flip number 1! flipwhip

Wales Visit

So Before I put the barrel of a gun in my mouth and bit the bullet or boredom, I spoke to my friend and decided we were going to wales the next day to prevent a second day of being lame on the internet... I woke up in the morning, Nice and early, No one else was usuing the bathroom which is always a treat to get first dibs, and upon ringing luc we were not sure what people were doing still. In the end I picked up Luc and Matt and we headed off to the first park. As soon as we had everyone in the car the conversations and stories as usual started to roll out and things became very funny very quickly and we even drove a good 20 odd miles the wrong direction for it, but not to worry, we then drove for about 40 mins looking for pontypool skatepark. The park was in the middle upper part of Pontypool but there were like only two roads from google map that either took you to the left or right side so it was bloody stupid trying to figure out how to get there. In the end we decided we were going to take the most manly means possible to find the park and just ask someone. That someone told us we were just round the corner from the park and it seemed like our problems were over! Untill we seen the most rammed car park ever and were not sure of the rules in wales, so we said fuck it, were parking here and if other cars can't get out thats their problem.haha
We eventually found the park and it was mint, lots of hips, a good box, spine and locals and even Nick Maddocks was there with his bad back to say hello. Nick ended up taking us to cwmbran park also.
This park was super fun, had some pikey local kids shouting for us to do backflips and calling us briv rather than bruv....yeah wales is an odd place thats for true! Luc was in full effect taking awesome photos and tailwhiping the box a treat, his 360s were even better and it was really good to see that side of Luc at a new park tearing it up in a way that he does not usually ride. Matt Cable was killing it, You porbably won't know but the guy has just had close to a year off his bike due to ligament surgery he had on his knee. Matt has been riding almost a month ish now and it has not slowed him down at all by the looks of it, still busting out stupid Un-Turndowns, still busting silly 360s and now hes doing it all better than before? It just aint right Matty, just aint right.

We had some pro photo's taken off us by Luc and then Nick Maddocks who is a dear old friend of mine who sadly could not really ride due to a bad back, he took us all the way to cwmbran skatepark for our final sesh of the day... This Park in cwmbran was ridiculouse, it was like the ramps were built upside down so the base of the ramps were super steep and transitiony, then the top half was pure vert wall! It was crazy. It took us all a good Half hour before we managed to get used to the park. It has some really good hips at the back And I had a go at my first down whip on a hip which I surprisingly Nailed first go, and I am still stoked about it now 12 hours on writing about it.
After all our shredding was done and My peg snapped off, we fucked about and I made a how to turndown video, then we went off into the sunset and talked about the day and previouse life experiences and came home beign a little bit better friends than we were before the trip...Bmx life is amazing.
