Last weekend I went to visit Dave in Eastbourne.

On the saturday we ended up dropping by Spooks to have a look. There were some guys down there riding and chilling and they said come and ride! So we went back and grabbed our bikes and had a fun session. The big stuff at the bottom wasn't running but the rest was really fun and felt like a roller coaster at times, twisty lines where you'd all of a sudden pick up crazy speed.

On sunday we trekked up to wisley. Little bit of a trip but really worth it. It was a cracking day, Gareth and Digs had the BBQ on the go and were making pizza's in with there dirt pizza oven! awesome!

Jimmy Pratt, Sam Reynolds and Mike Smith turned up, they were a treat to watch, they seemed to be having so much fun when they are riding it just makes you smile. Also I never fail to be amazed by how much higher Jimmy goes than everyone else!

I had so much fun that day I rode till I couldn't ride anymore. Thanks to Gareth, Digs and the other locals for letting us ride and making us feel welcome!

Here's some footage Tom Wheeler took of me riding there. There should be a full video about soon with footage of Jimmy, Sam etc so keep your eyes peeled for that one, it'll be worth watching!

Tried out the new hip today. The whole bowl is still soft, but thought I'd see how far I could get... Turns out, not very!! haha! At least I deployed the safety foot. Apart from being soft as hell, think making the set before bigger will help too. More rain please!

Summer is here, everything at the trails is green again! Here's a couple of clips of becca and me at the trails on saturday. And a new twisty lip I got building, it'll join up with the mains eventually.

Went to watch the interegional at Peterborough today. Good turnout. Good to see tuffy racing again, he's a joy to watch, effortless. Also, he went STUPID high off the big doubles on the back straight and landed flat in his first moto!! Tuffy is nuts...

Yes I actually rode a regional! I got to admit I hate mk track, there is nothing on it and its got the flattest start hill in the world. However I know when I go to race there I always have fun and today was no different. It kinda worked out ok to because it was pretty windy at times, but with no jumps higher than 3 ft it didn't really matter! ;o)

Woke up feeling pretty sore this morning, so I had a laze about! Got to the trails and it wasn't really happening, the pain got worse every time I rode. Scooby was in a similar boat. I took some ibuprofen though and it seemed to give me the kickstart I needed! The more I rode the better it got, and although I didn't feel anywhere near 100% I had a lot of fun in the end. Got some good tables and Scoob got on the no handers, so not so bad after all, I think it actually done me good I feel better now!

Hit up a new transfer today, I was a bit scared cause now one had tried it yet, but it turned out ok! and was really fun! until my third attempt, when somehow I leant back too much and couldn't get the front end back down. i looped out big time on the landing, landed on my back and smacked my head on the ground. It hurt a lot but kinda went away again so I rode as much as I could before I stiffened up too much to ride... I was pretty sore when I stopped riding...neck, back, cocyx, shoulders, head... but the ibuprofen is sorting me out good so we'll see what tomorrow brings!! Scooby also had a nice trip over the bars so we spent the evening taking it in turns to moan.
