Shit the flipping bed!

I'm not really in the mood for writing but i though i'd better do it now while the interweb is behaving itself. As you will see i have some more pictures. (I can tell you right now that the writing to follow is unlikely to be funy or interesting, because i have just strugled with those two sentences)

These first lot are ones I shot of Isaac a couple of months back. They are the ones nobody wanted, like the dogs at battersea.



No arms fronty




Isaac didn't have a great time getting his bike on this roof. He made it worhwhile though.




Tight curved hang-5, dialled.


I went to NASS which was wet but pretty good. I took some pics, I will probably put the majority on here when I have seen what ride use. Until then you'll have o make do with this gem. Unfortunately I know both f those people. If anybody wants them please Facebook me. They do come as a pair though and thy are both particularly annoying.


I have an article in this months Ride for the Zeal trip to Florida. It's pretty funny because I was very slack on the photo's, but managed to write a fair bit, so there's 4 pages worth of text on a 2 pag aricle and only a couple of pictures. If photography was my actual job then someone would have sacked me by now.

We did this. A lot. From this very spot we put the world to rights.


Bruza at Vans


Yeah Bazza!


Balls out Barry!


I got the first roll of film back off my medium format which I'm quite stoked on. It's been ages since I shot film, so they are not all perfect, but the ones that came out are rad. Loads of saturation. I only shot 2 bmx pics on that roll, but the next one has some more pics from Bobs Jam so we'll see how they turn out. I shot a couple at epsom the other day too, but i'm fairly sure they will be shit. Still, lots more satisfying than digital.

I always said to myself that this would be the first thing I took a picture of if i got a medium format. I love this wondowless monolith.


I taught Mikey a magic trick involving toothpicks which he shows everyone now.

1st set at Bobs x2


Finally, I stopped on the way to NASS to go to this place. It's got something to do with water, but it's rideable all the time. There's two trenches like this; ones full the other isn't. You get in and out by lowering yourself down a plastic hose. I shat my pants (not fond of high things without being strapped in/enclosed). You can see it there on the left. Hitcher made me take my life in to my own hands just so I could get a photo or two.




I'm going to bed now and there's nuffink you can do!

Interwank

I tried to do an update tonight. I have some film piccies, bits and
bobs from here and there, a bit of this and that, but my Internet
doesn't know if it's coming or going. I can't face calling sky support
and being on hold for 2 hrs. Sozzer.

Ross Penny photos

Ross Penny from Bstoke went to the worlds and blagged a press pass
through therollingimage (cos it's so damn bigtime!). Here's some pics
mainly from the wet spine midi when it wasn't wet. Www.myspace.com/rosspennyphotography

More Ross Penny ting

I have 5 million pics to put up here and no time to do it. In the
meantime you will have to make do with this tramp me and rich found in
our hotel room on Friday night. If there's no picture then this
didn't work.

More jumps and shit

Second update in as many days? Something must be up. Well yeah atually I took 50 grams of speed yesterday before the first update and I haven't slept since, and the only reason I haven't done more updates is that my internet is still impossibly slow. luckily I do have some internet, just not the one I'm paying for. I got an old BT phone, one with a dial, and rigged it up to a sattelite dish which I made from a New York Cheesecake dish and a lolly stick via some red cable I borrowed from work. Then I got a mouse from behind my cupboards and have secured him inside a running wheel to generate power and an internet signal transmitted through the phone. I have also cleverly linked this device to my lapop using some wet string which although is not an approved or particularly safe method of tranferring electrical impulses, appears to be doing the job so far.

Bob Manchester had a little jam at the weekend on his jumps in his field in Hertfordshire or wherever he lives. It's somewhere nice and fieldy, like the countryside but without the smell of shit. What you see below is photographic evidence of said event. The pics are the ones not going in the old wotsit, so that's why they are not great. Anyway what do you care? All you're interested in is if you are in the background so you can steal it for facebook and tag yourself.

Randomers. LOL!


Matt Priest, Booost over the first. LMAO!


Adam Dayson FYI it's a nacnac


Matt P again, mid set. ROFL!


Another Matt. Matt Burton 360's FTW!


Priest again waving. TTFN!


OMG! Another 3 from Matty B!

Madame Dayson, Dialled turndown flip. (BTW Haggler took this, not me)

Bob Himself. Flip Whip last set. WTF!

Matt P yet again. Another 3. FML
Yeah the weather was good, the atmosphere was chilled, it was generally a good day. There was about 90 people with cameras there, but there was 91 cameras there cos I had 2 that day! Ha Ha! I win the most cameras owned in that day competition! In your faces single camera owners!
Arrash grazed the shit out of his shoulder. What is it with shoulders and that boy and this country. No matter, it is a mere flesh wound.

Enough of that business. I shot a pic of Sean Lafferty flairing the Basildon banks a while ago, and as suggested in a previous post it's in a BSD ad in this months Ride.

See?

Now I see a wierd shadow in there, to the right, like someone's in front of my flash. That's defo not in the original. Are BSD going all Shadow Conspiracy on us or is that something they always do? Or are my pictures haunted?
Who cares.
Oh by the way, I'm going to NASS this weekend which will be fun. And, er.. Ladies.... I have a two man tent and a whole load of stamina! (Half of that statement is definately true, the other half may well be a cleverly disguised lie)
Ok go away now, the mouse needs a rest.
