A bit more of Ghettoland.....

I popped back to Brighton again recently, to ride the warehouse with Dayson and Hagler (now fully recovered, and riding with pegs on!). It was good fun shooting lots of diferent stuff. As per usual Haggler was on point every time, One shot one kill style of riding, i'e if i want a pic of something he's doing it'll be done in one try. That's the good stuff right there. Dayson was riding the big flatbank like a quarter which was fun to shoot, and we did a little thing for RedBull with Dayson jumping over hag. It was funny/rubbish. Good times.

WEBSITE ISSUES

Sorry for the lack of recent updates. I have some new media to upload, but for some reason Deamweaver is not playing nice so my new pics, or any changes I make to the site for that matter, don't show up. I can still update this news section, so keep popping back from time to time to see if anything has changed. I'm working on a solution, promise!

Martyn Cooper

I went to Creation Skatepark (formerly known as Epic) recently with Hitchcox to shoot some pics of Mankind rider Martyn Cooper. He's really good, really dialled and a super nice guy. I was having some technical difficulties on this day, I think it may have just been down to the cold, batteries don't like the cold. It's really dark in there too, but i got a couple of nice ones. He broke his hand shortly after I finished shooting these, so get well soon Martyn. Hope you like them.

See, I told you.

Secrets......

Last week I went to Brighton to see Merman and Dayson. Haggler and Moses were hanging around too having spent the night there getting up to no good. Merman took us to the not-so-secret warehouse/ghetto ramp setup they have there, which was super cool. I was expecting some really shady ramps with holes in, but was actually pretty surprised at the quality. The cool thing about this place, as with most ghetto setups, is the fact that you can't just ride it first time round, it takes quite some getting used to. I'm definately going back there to ride it, it probably won't be there much longer.

Lemme Explain....

It was a Friday night, last Friday in fact. It was pissing down with rain and Me, Moses and Haggler were preparing for massive night out in Wokingham. Massive. Anyway, cut a long story short, there is a tree at the end of Hagglers driveway, it's pretty old with knots and stuff on it. As we opened to the front door to greet the taximan, a great thing stood before us. Like the Turin shroud, or statue of the virgin Mary crying blood. Where the rain was running down this tree the water marks made a perfect face. Not any perfect face though, but Lemme from Motorhead. And not just a little bit either, where you have to sort of squint a bit, but 100% Lemme Kilmisters face, right there in wood and water, 8 feet off the ground and about 4 feet top to bottom. It was the highlight of the night, like I said, we were about to go out in Wokingham. Anyway, judge for yourselves. You won't be disappointed!

Burnley Allnighter

I went on a small roadtrip this weekend with Hitchcox and Big Money Brian. We went to Corby first and met up with Bellerby, Briggs and Hammerfist Lee Boyle, which was well busy as usual but pretty good fun. They headed off home after the session while we headed up to Interact in Burnley for an allnight jam. We got there about 11 and started riding. When I say riding I mean [Me and Brian] mostly sitting and watching the rediculous show, like young Harry Maine from Liverpool doing some flair-540 tyretap (almost to whip in! - Which i'm sure he's done already) and stupid stupid high airs with some really nice snappy inverts thrown in. I didn't get any pictures of this unfortunately due to his tyre splitting. Gay. I did however get a couple of pics of a nice chap called Jason Phelan who is another Rampworx local. He lookes like a ginger/blondish Howard Moon from The Mighty Boosh (to me anyway), and was doing some rad shit. Flairs out the 9 foot over head height, and massive pocket airs - with a barspin thrown in too. Have a look!
