 i was in london from wednesday morning to friday morning, riding and going to gigs and stuff. i am making a page, but it's quite big so it will take a while. we get broadband on tuesday, so i'll fix the site and reload it then with the new stuff.for now here are some pictures. on top: tim at the stone circle, south bank. right: meanwhile 2. below: grafitti, if that's how you spell it. today we have been digging. the first in my line is almost done. not sure if there will be room to add a fourth jump, but either way it's gonna be good come spring.

 i guess it's about time for an update. it's been a weird few days. no job is good at the moment as long as it doesn't last too long. skaterham was fun. there's also other pictures but don't look at them. also today we went to swanley. that what the picture on the left is of. it was wet but still good. the page that i made is very scrappy, but never mind. it's here by the way. i have had a few visitors on my site that i don't know who they are. that's exciting. come to playstation skatepark on wednesday on thursday if you can. it'd be good to meet some more people. i'll be there anyway. you'll know me by the colour of my bike. |

friday, november 21| This is the email i sent to my colleages when i left work: Bye
Thanks for teaching me all about pensions, i have had a good time and made lots of friends.
I have decided that pensions administration is not for me, so I am getting out whilst I still can!!
I wish you all the best
Ben
From the office: (so don't read it Laura)
I don't see this as the end
I see it as moving on
I can't imagine Jesus, yeah, going
"i've told a few people in bethlehem i'm the son of God, can I just stay here with mum and dad now"
no
you've got to move on you've got to spead the word you've got to go to Nazareth.
please
and that's very much like me
my world does not end with these four walls
y'know, sloughs a big place
and when i've finished with slough, you know, i've got
reading, aldershot, bracknell, didcot, yatley,
taplow, winnersh
and because i am my own boss. burghfield, i can wake up in the morning and go
"i don't feel like going to work today, can i just stay in bed all day? dunno better check with the boss"
"excuse me david, can i just stay in bed all day"
"errrr, yes you can david"
both me that's not, i'm not
that's not be in bed with another bloke called david. |
| i just handed in my notice. no more emails to work please. |
well thisisnotaskateboard.com finally died. well done if you found this. there's quite a good prize for you: new burham pictures and new black mill pictures that tim took. i'll sort out the address sometime soon. pipe siad he wanted to come to ashford. that would be cool unless it rained. you can come and play on the trampoline for a bit too if you want. |

 last night i had to stay in to baby sit for my 11 year old sister. surely she is old enough to be at home by herself? anyway the point is that i got round to doing some update type things. i have made all the pictures and most pages but they are not up yet. i am not going home tonight either, so can for a look sometime on friday. that seems a bit late, but live with it. still no plans for the weekend - here are some options: woking, romford, skaterham, southbank, digging + trampoline, ashford. sign guestbook. or we could go here. or here. i wish have a look at this and trailscene. |

 tim's updating now. good so i can be lazy. i have not updated becasue all of my free time is used for digging at the moment, so it's worth it. this is a picture from harrow, that was a fun day. do it again sometime. i don't have much else to say becasue it all pretty boring at the moment working all day. the weekend was good and burham was fun (pictures sometime) and we rode the big spine thing which was good. maybe more later... |
monday, november 17| Tims update: Another day another update! yeah right. well we went to burham on saturday, hopefully an update coming on that. Lots of digging going on in the evening, we got bens first big landing pretty much done so the takeoff is now being moved back. Ben wanted a huge gap, i think it might be too long for the height really. photos maybe tomorrow when i can get them in good light. Got rain today so digging will be easier now as its still not properly wet. this is me angle grinding my car.

 that's a cartoon character i invented in a boring meeting. he lives in a bin and rides his bike all day. he lives in the ghetto and lives off trash. he has a freind called black boy, but i didn't put a picture of him on because its racial.
 i went to reigate mini ramp today. that's it on the left. its nice to ride. not slippy and good for airing and other tricks. its not too steep which i thought would be bad but it's good. i stole the picture off sk8m8 who stole it off me. there's a new archive page and a couple of new links pages. the mega site is looking good. cars win i think. maybe we'll go to burham tomorrow. becky could take some pictures with simons fisheye. i want to go to woking now too. the mega site is looking good. seb is keeping to his word and updating daily. enjoi trails updates good. |

| tims update
 Just turned on the TV to watch a bit of the office, but a horse riding thing was on four. They were talking about safety and stuff. It was really funny, one bloke was saying about one major race that was really dangerous "and they didnt wear helmets!". The woman reporting was talking about how brave the men are and stuff. wrong word it think. arent all bmxers brave. hell yeah! lol come on they getting paid loads to sit on the back of a horse and whip it! they were talking about helmet technology as well saying how its come on so much over the years demostrating the new from the old, they were the same. dumb people. They are still piss pots with no padding. it made me realise that i dont wear a helmet ever, don't know why really, i guess i never hit my head really.
just had a driving lesson which was wierd. youre meant to look in your mirrorsall the time, apparently its got something to do with safety, wouldnt it be better to look at the road? digging tomorrow, maybe burham depends whether ben wants to drive or not |

 today when i left the house i unplugged my mobile from the charger and plugged tim's in. i realised that he's had it back from whoever found it as wisley. it set me thinking. before i got into trail riding i used to be scared of dirt jumpers. i thought they would all hate me because i was rubbish and that they are totally full of themselves and thought everyone else was crap. i am glad i got into trails.
 when we went to kiddy in the summer i was still a bit reserved because i'd not met that many other trail riders before. it was a really good suprise. since then i have realised what a good group of people dirt riders are. simon built me a computer and some random guy who we've never met still sent tim's phone back. i guess all the people who have built trails that i have ridden have given me a lot as well. i'm not saying that everyone who ever rides trails is automatically a nice person, but i guess because these people dig is shows that they are willing to put in a lot of work to build something as a community. there's not really a point to this, just some thoughts. i suppose the point should be that this is good and we should help each other out more often. or something cheesy like that. here's a picture of the summer taken at about 9 at night. the ground was wetter then than it is now (went digging last night).

 all of the leaves are on the floor. digt and urt both claim to be updated everyday, although simon hasn't updated his site himself much! tnw has gone for one of its longest spells of no updates for a while - 2 days! still go there as all the old media is good too. the new dig is interesting. theres dirt bowls and all sorts. you know - people being creative with dirt. ok, here's a plan - london ride - 22 November? if you wanna come then say so in the guestbook. |

well its winter so it's all gone proper arty now. look in newstuff. this picture is from last spring, it must be about the last time we rode street until last week. 24in wheels and all. it was when i got my new camera too. i was going to shoot some street photos yesterday but tim's injured so he's not riding for a week. I am riding by myself again. I am very tired at the moment. the pictures in the newstuff section are of the mini trails in leatherhead. I stopped there on my way to work yesterday and went to sleep on the back seat of my car for an hour and a half. I was going to make an autumn video with the song quoted in newstuff but i don't have enough autumn footage. maybe next year. |

this is lucifer the child of the devil aka and he has been asking for this for a long time. photo taken in hell. |
friday, november 7| well that was long lived. i couldn't bear the ugliness of it. i guess there's a good reason why people use this font. i have some nice autumn pictures but for now they are stuck on my camera. have a good weekend |
rebekah's update:
I will be kidnapping Ben for the weekend, so no good updates this week. Sorry.
I went to university two hours too early today, so that is why I am updating Ben's site. I could have been asleep. |
|
| hahaha i have changed the names on all the updates and ben doesn't know how so he can't change it back. |
thursday, november 6| sorry, the page was busted all day. i'm not quite sure what happened, but it's somehow fixed. phew! |
wednesday, november 5| heres to fashion.. i am bored of 8pt verdana in black text on white background or the other way round. it's time to break some rules. or maybe this is just a poor excuse for an update cos i don't have anything else to say. been riding street a bit - some rails and manuals at the station. |
monday, november 3|
 
 well this weekend has been crazy. on friday i drove to guildford with simon in my lunch hour. we bought loads of computer bits and then simon made them into a fast comupter for me. that's why this update is 3 times bigger than normal. on saturday i decided my job was too bad to keep so that's going to change. also i tried to fix my car. scrapyards are fun but often pointless. rad seal is great stuff. they should make oil seal too. then on saturday we also rode the burham mini. fun. sunday i discovered some interesting street near my house and suddenly the winter doesn't seem so bad after all. the heads are the updates. linkys. newstuff is broken and pictures and links are updated. take you time sit back and enjoy this one cos it may be the last for a while! i'm sure i have more to say but i can't remember it so good night. |
