The Happy Thread

Recommended Posts

I only race at Newark meets, a modelshop in Newark hires one of the old hangers on the showground and puts race nights on on a Friday. Other then that it's nights in Tesco car park with mates. I keep threatening to join the D1RC series but know I wouldn't make the most of it..

This summer continues to be awesome since I parted ways with TartyBikes:

- Got offered some bitchin' filming jobs

- Took up offer of bitchin' filming jobs

- Rode Glasgow for an extended period of time with Ali and had a fun time

- Headed over to Dressler Camp and proceeded to have a really good time (and also a really wankered time for one night)

- Headed over to Prague and proceeded to have a really good time (and plenty of delicious steak and pizza)

- Managed to make two videos I was reasonably happy with

- Rode Glasgow again with Ali, Danny and Duncan for a bit

- Rode Preston/surrounding areas with Flipp quite a bit

- Headed over to Tarty Days and proceeded to have a really good time (and bruise the shit out of my legs with that trampoline-bike)

- Got to see the Arcade in it's fully-built state for the first time. Inspired first got in touch about it around this time 2010, so seeing it go from idea to something way better than I could've imagined was nice

- Almost lost my mind but managed to make a video of Tarty Days

- Got to head up to TartyBikes for a bit to hang out will all those guys again and generally have a really fun time whilst also handling business

- Got involved with some plans to head over to the Belgium UCI World Cup round in late September

- Have some other fun riding filming/photo'ing related work on the cards

- Saw The Black Angels last night (supported by Elephant Stone - also really good) who started off their set by playing Ali's favourite song, then followed it with mine then just kept on getting better from that point onwards - Black Grease was so, so good live

- Got a sweet job offer that's still being worked out now

- Should be moving to Bristol in the near future

My bike's also running really nicely at the moment and I'm having a load of fun riding. Ching.

Life's getting good again.

Girlfriend is superb.
Motivation to ride trials is coming back.
I have a BMX alongside my trials bike to keep things different and fresh.
I'm progressing on the BMX, and starting to get my flow back with spinny stuff.
Apprenticeship is all secured and started well ( college tutor is a top bloke too, always a bonus )
Pays set to increase because my boss is also a top bloke.
18th Birthdays two weeks today.

Forks are away to Tarty tomorrow to be assessed for warranty, so all being well I'll have a seatless pogo stick to pull some skids on again next weekend for the first time since Radfest.

Sounds good. Welcome to borrow my 24 in the mean time. Went for a ride on it today, was pleasantly surprised with it :D

Im down near Hull this weekend, and all being well I should have forks sorted early/mid next week if you're up for some stunts that weekend?

Cheers for the offer though :)
