Tragic News

To begin with, I'd like to apologize to anyone, if there is anyone, who reads the blog and has been disappointed by the lack of updates, however, ever since the start of college, both Me, and Jack have been snowed under with coursework and stuff. Also, Tim's moved to Portsmouth to go to Uni, so we no longer travel as much as before... Anyway.

As some of you may know, local rider, and a good friend with some people whom may read this, Tommy Boyd passed away last week, and I think I can say this on behalf of everyone that we're in true shock. This is what came from the Retribution site...

"Tommy Boyd passed away early this week. He'll be missed so much by so many people, and if you ever had the pleasure of meeting him you'll know what a kind hearted, generous and caring person Tom was. We all love you Tom, so much more than you knew.
Tom rode with me for almost ten years, and always made everything look so good on his bike. He also was a keen photographer, and you'll see his BMX photos used on the dig and 4down sites. He was particularly good at portraiture, and you would rarely see him without his camera. He was such a great guy to be around, always there for us when we needed him, and I'll never forget that. Thank you so much for the times we spent together Tommy, we're all thinking of you x"

For both me and Jack, and probably Tim too, in the days of riding Abshot, it was always a joyful time riding with Tommy, and he always proved to treat us like one of his mates. I'll never forgetting starting out and having his skill to look up to.

Not only was it his passion for riding too that we both had in common, but we also enjoyed photography, and talking to him at the years Street Vs Tweak was really cool. It was also sick to see his photos appear on DIG. However, that's the last time I recall talking to Tom.

Anyway, on behalf us all...

R.I.P Tommy.
