Was an amazing ride. The amount of riders.

Then the southbank security following us all the way along.

Then some guy(can't remember his name) riding round one in circles for ages with the squeaky brakes while he was "on the phone to the police".

I Didn't catch that guys name, he was a hero :D

Brilliant day. First time I've ridden in a while. I very rusty but it was good to get out for a change.

Great to see lots of peeps again all in one place, had such a good laugh.

The tramp at the London Eye checking mine and some others rear wheels to see if it was ok, what a weirdo.

The guy at London Eye doing a show which we didn't quite work out what he was meant to be doing :S really weird again.

The guy on the 20" trying the big st Pauls gap and half falling in :lol: , dam good effort though from that chappy.

Vince rinsing the 11.5 ish foot loading bay gap at the southbank, silly.

The guy who was squeeling his brakes around the security gaurd while he was on the phone. My god, I was pissing, what a legend, hands down to you.

Joe Hodges on his uni at the southbank loading bay walls, done a massive line. He rode along a round rail then gapped off it over the wall and onto the floor. Absolute whopper. Me, Dave and Mike where just laughing our heads off watching 2 ass absolutely wanting his cock after him doing that, so good watching everyones faces in amazement.

Really good day, and some dam good riding going on from all kinds of people.

Phil.

What was up with the drunk hobo? (if anyone encountered him?) - Was quite a person, 69p cider. ;)

I didn't understand a word he said, yet my friend managed to hold some intense conversation with him...? :huh:

Best ride I've ever been on, obviously for the atmosphere.

Mental day, saw some old faces, faces from the internet and new ones.

Bought some of Mr. Singleton's Phat pads, ironically my Cousts came back to live during the ride.

Highlights would be Hermance teabagging his stem (anyone know how this happened?, I only saw the aftermath), Danny Mac's mega gap at St. Pauls.

Aside from the Southbank security, there really wasn't any hassle from police or other security, (oh and at St. Pauls were Jack had a talking to).

Big thanks to Jack for sorting out the maps and almost being the scapegoat of the day. :lol:

EDIT: oooh just seen this on the BBC website; http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7917842.stm did anyone else catch Morph outside Tate?

That was damn funny...just him beaning it round that grumpy old shite of a security guard...

Finally got some things down, although going over the bars at the end of the day was not what I'd planned on.

So tired, but so worth it!

yeh he was damn funny...just mouthed off at the staff in our defense...funny shizzz

Met some cool people on the ride though, got some pretty good footage

Drei's gap across the pillars was nuts,

So was meeks rolling gap ( you'll know which one im talking about if you saw it )

riding about 5 miles from paddington to the london eye....and back again :S 18 hour day

realising the one decent shot of the day i did, my mate forgot to press record >_<

Laughing at the guy i went up with, when he had to get up at 6.30 this morning for work.... 4.5 hours sleep

seeing walker nearly impale himself with a mega size stake

watching danny mac from afar

thinking i'd had my bag nicked with my mates £1000 camera in it :unsure:

Overall a pretty sweet day, didn;t get that much riding, or filming for that matter, done....but was well worth the journey i reckon.

Personal thanks goes out to Meek for publicising such an epic ride (Y)

What a weekend! Was insane to see so many people in one spot, and outnumbering the security on an epic scale was a good laugh, John gets full points for SB RANGER harassment :P

Met loads of old friends, and a lot of new ones, absolutely loved it!!

As Luke said, thanks to all the Southend sluts, adopted or genuine, for making the weekend so good!

I'm never manualing with a bag on again, ever. I still can't sit down properly :$
