OK Here Goes...

Well I suppose I must say sorry for not doing any updates lately. I have kept on meaning to do them but just haven't really had the urge. Luckily I woke up really early this morning and although I haven't actually left my bed other than to make a cuppa or go for a wee it's been fairly productive.

First of all I thought I should post up some old stuff. Well not old, but stuff I shot a while back that never got used. The first one is Martyn Cooper downwhipping at Corbizzle. This is one I shot for the Role Models issue of ride that they didn't print.

Talking of ride the Uni article that Dayson and Tinhead made (and I photo'd) is in this month and looks rad. I'm pretty happy with how it came out.



Here's another pic of Brad which we shot when it was raining outside. He does this so quick it was harder than shooting barspins (which I've got down to an average of 3-4 attempts, less if i've had a redbull). They used the cancan pic instead, which in hindsight is actually a lot nicer pic.

In non-BMX related news me, Mayo and Black went on a little jaunt last weekend to where the sea is. The plan was to go crabbing but we soon gave up on that and went pot-holing on the seabrake rocks instead. Brave or stupid? Probably stupid, but quite good fun, even if it was terrifyingly claustrophobic at times. We started off by going in to smaller and smaller gaps, then trying to make our way in and out of the rocks by going through tiny tunnels, unsure if we'd A) get stuck in a tunnel, or B) be able to get out once we made it through said tunned. Needless to say we all survived, then went for an ice cream.


This hole Black is crouching in is literllay the size of a crouching man. I.e. very small (and a bit smelly). Which by coincidence is how I like my women.
Squeeeze....

Planning the next route
Too many pies

Black found an arrow-head.

I went to visit Isaac with the Bruzas and Sean lafferty from Scotland on Friday night/Saturday to shoot some photo's. The evening got off to a good start, took a few at Basildon bowl (the car park with transition wall all round it) then headed in to town. Long story short, there's a massive set of steps. Isaac wanted to whip them, I took forever setting up, it was not lit very well, one hit wonder. Isaac whipped them first attempt, dialed, to the pedals, no messing about. I got the pic, but could not have got it more out of focus if I tried. Now my excuse is that waaay to dark for auto focus, and with no obvious reference for manual I took my best guess. Turns out I'm not a great guesser. So anyway here's the pic. Now you can see why I was a bit peeved. (Though between you and me, I'm not feeling this angle now anyway.)

Manly.
Tom Bruza hang nothing'd this whole ledge at least twice too which was rad. Mad skills.

The following day we hit Leigh and Rom. Isaac was going off (pics with held) and the Bruza boys were shredding the hip. Good ting.

Tommy-B wangin it about..

James-B not being put off by me being right in the way. No.... not one bit! (That's a lie)
Rom was good as ever. Again Isaac was getting ridiculous (9ft whip air anyone?) and Billy Purcell was owning the place like he does. Styling it out with some beautiful non-frilly tables. All in all a good day, especially as the weather man said it was going to be wet. What a nob.

This kid spends a lot of his time eating shit. He doesn't seem to mind too much though. Sean Lafferty (currently living in the Bruzs garage) oppo flair.

Isaac, front jam on the shed roof.

Yes Bill.
There you go, I did an update. I bet you never thought you'd see the day!
