another sunday afternoon.....
Rain was trying to stop play today, but Gez, Street Dave and Me had other ideas and hit up a dry spot at the uni, Dave got to grips with his new set up after some pikey robbed his old bike! I battled with a ledge till i got a blow out and Gez did lots of good stunts all over the place. Back to Gez's to watch the Retribution 2.5 vid, which is mint! and 4 tins of Tetley's for £2.89! back of the net!!

War on Wolves and a little on Birmingham
Saturday morning, about 11am and we were up supping brews before a drive to Wolves for the last P5 street jam of the year on the Sunday. Bikes dismantled, car packed and a high five to Elvis (who was heading to Bristol with the real Old Tess) and we were off.
We pulled up outside Fish's house and took our stuff inside and had some more brews. I have never been to Wolverhampton before and my first impressions were that its a bit of a shit hole. The afternoon street session was ruined my my wheel bearings collapsing and the weather going to shit. Luckily Fish's shop hooked me up with the 3 out of 4 bearings i needed, shout out to Tom at Leisurelakes bikes in Wolves.
Back to the house we went, few beers down us this time and a wait for the others to arrive. Eventually there was about 15 people piling up bikes in the kitchen, then off to the venue for the Brighton Ain't Ready premier in town, The Mute- mobile making shuttle runs so we didn't have to walk, nice!
Before the video we managed to watch the final fight of a kickboxing evening, everyone in there had paid 20 sheets to go a watch this but we just walked through another door and paid nowt. Judging by the crowd the local boy won with a carfty knock out.
Brighton Ain't Ready was really good, Niki Croft is a total beast, you should buy this dvd!! After the video Tom Mann and Theo squared up in the boxing ring and some groping and slapping took place.
The rest of the evening was at the pub for everyone and a club for some, Tom Mann pushed Lloyd and Jason into the canal, Jason lost his wallet, keys and phone in there. Theo on the other hand wormed his way into a bird, and being the romantic he is boned her on a market stall and a bin shed! Back at the house the good times went on. Jason poured hot wax onto Tom Mann's face when he tried to sleep, Tom Mann through some barspins in the dark and no one dared to sleep.
Theo the Ladies man
When everyone woke on Sunday it was pretty wet, not a good start, phones calls meant we went to Birmingham to epic park (which was a dreadful looking place) but luckily the weather picked up and we hit a spot down the road, the jam was on! After the first spot was session and H-Man got told off by a security guard for trying to throw stones through a window a quick dash back to Wolves was made to get the jam going proper. The Jam was really good, not one spot got shut down everyone had a laugh and there was some amazing riding from Lloyd, Bombhead, Chicken, Gez and others. Fish got very drunk and was passed out for the majority of the time. Prizes were given out, Gez and Lloyd had a paper, scissors, stone battle for a new frame!! Lloyd won. Even i won some pegs!! A massive shout out to Mute for pulling off a sweet jam after a ropey start, check Ride UK for a write up and photos. Web edit is on its way.

Big Fred
Fred Dibnah is probably one of the only men who could wear a flat cap, those stupid indy kids need to buck their ideas up. Never mind all these extreme sports people, Fred knows where its at, you dont need ropes and energy drinks. Health and Safety would probably have a thing or two to say about this these days...the bastards.
DUB BMX and LS6
Last weekend was the LS6 Nightcrawlers Jam here in Leeds, there was a pretty good turn out and fathead kept everyone amused on the megaphone. Most of the spots we went to got shut down by the rozzers or those community support tools. The will be a web edit going up soon i believe, it'll be on LS6BMX.co.uk first, I imagine it will appear on here soon after.
The weekend before that was the DUB bmx jam in Liverpool, I was pretty excited about this as i have never been there before. My highly desirable job working the nightshift in the co-op meant i was getting no sleep before the jam but that didn't matter. The train was full of football fans, Liverpool were playing Stoke (it finished 0-0) and Gez got groped by the filth on his way out of the station. We met Mute and Tom Mann in the street and headed to the meet up spot. This was one of the best jams i have been to, the vibe was really good and so was the turn out, plenty of heckling and boozing, girls kissing girls for fags what more could you ask for?....also there were some good stunts. Theo got punched on the train home and dished out on of his own, then we crashed into each other in the station and he split his chin which meant a trip to hospital...good times. War on Wolves this weekend....
