RIP i3MX.Com

Yup, it's finally gone. For those that don't know i3mx was started a long time ago by Kris Forge (Local Hero) and was the main hub of BMX community communication for the Farnborough and surrounding scenes.

Through its years of existence I3mx has been the place to communicate activities and manoeuvres, who's riding where, what jams are happening, who's going on what roadtrip etc. And when those things did happen the pictures would go up and a story might be told. And everyone was welcome to get involved.

Over the last 2 years or so the i3mx guestbook was slowly becoming used less and less, with many people favouring Myspace to communicate their actions. The Media pages became updated more and more seldom, until eventually only one or two of us would post up the occasional news piece.

So times move on, things have to change. I can honestly say that i3mx has helped me develop my photography, without a place to post up my pictures and write about my experiences my interest may have wained. So it is indeed the end of an era.

Thanks Kris for keeping i3mx going for so long, and to everyone who contributed to it.

It will be missed

Melbourn Trails

Had a proper good day on Saturday. Me, Haggler and Dayson took a trip to Melbourn Trails, near Cambridge. A bit of a treck but they're fun. As usual the two people who can actually ride trails did so, very well, and so i made the most of it with the camera. Just for the record, I did get through once or twice, but took it like a bitch on a long low set at about 100mph and this stuff is hard. That's my excuse for putting the bike down and piking my camera up anyway.

So here's some photaes
