Finally got round to doing an update, yessss! Anyway. Jack Evershed has a new frame, it's a 20.75 Subrosa Pandora, and it's looking freshhhh! Luke Goble is back on his bike after about 6 months of being held up by snowboarding escapades and his car, and also, Bruton, along with the Castles and Netley, has gone to America for 3 weeks. Ah, how I wish I was in America right now! Haha.
So yeah, just a little news update for you! Right, time for some photos yes? Yes. So. Yesterday, myself, the Eversheds, and Goble went on a little "trip". First off, we congregated at the 'Shed's, then we ventured to Lee-on-Solent. It was madness how windy it was. Seriously. Crazy! Anyway, we managed to get a few photos in. Checkkk.


So yeah, heres a couple of pictures from Lee. It was an alright session i guess, bar the fact everytime you did a manual or a grind, you got fully blown over and would eat shit. Click pictures to enlarge.


After the major wind issues were just not worth trying to avoid, we decided to head to Gosport, where there is the new bowl. The bowl is a pretty sweet flyout, but to actually use as a bowl, it's pretty crap... Either way, we had fun at Gosport, well, I did until my jeans ripped. I was irate! A quick little crank arm slide on a pathetic rail gone wrong managed to slice the front of jeans (round the crotch area) and leave me in a muddle. However, Luke's hawaiian shorts helped. Haha.

Luke's second day of riding, after circa 6 months of, and he does this gap. From the far right wedge, to the far left concrete transition. Madness. Boosted too for extra kudos!

Jack's chain snapped. The comedic graffitti on the bench was quite appropriate. Ahwell Jack, could've been worse. Could've ripped your jeans! Haha.

Me and Waldo. Tim who boasts his horizontal stripes to accomidate for the "punk rock" look, actually turns out to look like "Where's Wally?/Waldo?", although, I look like a European tourist what with the sweet Hawaiian shorts. Hahah. Ahwell, they saved my bacon!
Finally, on our way home, we stopped at Henry Court school as we'd heard there was a sweet bank down at the tennis courts. The bank was preeeeeeeettty nice. With two rails too, it definatley has potential. Check the pictures...

Luke - Double peg to fakie on the rail. It's funny, he fell off a couple of times, one of them was the generic "legs either side of the rail - ball crush" falls, however, due to his lankyness, he survived!

I also got a photo, sock horror, of a double peg to 180 out on the ledge on the far left of the bank. Not as good or high as Luke's but after eating shit the over day trying to hope onto a ledge, I was pleased with myself.
There is more photos of riding and crap over on
my flickr, so go check that out. Also, I took some photos at Chandlers Ford today, I'll post them up tomorrow...
For now, g'night!
