i rode the big 4 pack today. it's been made nice by rain. i want some pictures but the camera is broken. dug at the tiny trails. they are funny. gave me a puncture tho
also i just spent about and hour just riding around outside my house. there's a few kids who play out on their bikes and it's fun riding with them as they don't have an attitude. just fun.
some cool sites:
starbucks
trails
fynch|moto
bmx.cc

things have been quite slow on this site recently. i am busy with revision at the moment, so i have no time to ride much at all. the other problem is that my camera is broken. i am gonna take it in to be fixed on monday, but i'll be without for 4-6 weeks probably...
the trails are good tho which is more important. i made the 2nd lip of the big line today. it looks really nice. the landing is smooth now too. just have to wait for the rain to stop so i can ride it! thinking of a dirt jam in the summer when the trails are smooth.
the new trails are really hidden. they are in the middle of a really tight wood with no footpaths in. i guess they'll be found eventually, but they'll be there a while. they are going to be really small so everyone can ride them.
there have been some problems with the new video. sorry. i didn't upload the entire file by mistake so i think the end is missing - it should be 3:50mins. also, please remember to right click any movie links and go to save target as...
i don't know what file formats people use, and i don't have space to provide lots of different ones. so if you can tell me what file formats you use, or what media player then that would be cool. thanks
in other news, we are starting a new, small, trails site for the local kids who don't ride, to get them into it. it's gonna be well hidden
i have been filming over the weekend. the results can be seen by right clicking the banner in the movies section. there's no great tricks, it's just some kids riding their bikes.
i have also put up the pictures from porc last week. there are a few good shots, but i should have taken more really. i was too busy riding tho. knowlhill has moved and digtrails has gone underground. it's great.
i finally found something i am better at than tim! moonlight riding. it was really cool - we were digging until it was dark, but there was a full moon so you could still see stuff. so we rode the trails in the moonlight.
i still haven't got round to putting up the pictures from porc, but i told james i'd put up a picture of him so there's one on the left. i'll do it at some point...
went to porc yesterday. some pictures will appear on the site in the next few days i hope, but right now it's nice outside so i am gonna ride. i didn't get many photos from porc either as i was too busy riding. i think that's good tho. i got a few nice videos too but they can wait until i make a long movie
exams? don't ask. and who's idea was it to put an exam on a saturday? i have been mostly revising, but i have ridden a bit on my own as well.
i have been working on a few new pages which are up for your viewing pleasure. seb has a new site on the way...
i am going back to uni to do exams, so it is very possible that there won't be an update for a week. hopefully that means that there will be a good one in a week!
went to sebs at the weekend and rode pitch trails. there are some pictures uo inside. joe did his first jump too!
some new pictures i took in the garden. look at the top one ->
today we built and rode. there is now a running 9 pack. it's not
totally smooth but it fun to ride. we also found out that black mill
trails will probably not be knocked down which is really good as now we
will have 2 sets of trails.
there are 3 new pictures on the right for you to look at. they show some of the work we have been doing on the small line. we have been riding it quite a bit too, which is all fun. it doesn't look like tim's gonna make that gap, but it's so smooth he does easily.
more digging and riding. we were out at the trails until it got dark, just digging and stuff. there's a new dirt spine which i rode in the dark. it was so dark i couldn't see where it was for a bit. if you don't believe it was dark the time was 8:45.
nice sites:
crazy antix: they gave me a link and i didn't even have to ask.
trailscene: back for good apparently. joe's even been digging, so seb can eat his words becky should go there as she likes the smalley design.
12bore: nice pictures and design.
baretrails: some cool black and white shots.

first rain in ages. although rain is always bad, there is a silver lining, as some of the earth of the trails was too
dry to pack down. there wasn't enough to make much of a difference tho so a lot of it is still crumbling.
we have been concentrating on the orange trails a lot recently. there is a lot of building site stuff and fly tipped junk, and stones everywhere. the ground is also concrete so we were running out of dirt. only yesterday
