Footage from today!

This is a few clips from todays riding where we went to this newly discovered spot in Newcastle that Mexican John stumbled upon, previously unrideable, John was quite excited when the land that it is on became disused and we were able to have a good session in the sun. Not long into the session my chain snapped as i was pedaling for the flat bank which sucked, as it was brand new! Not having any tools or spare links to speak of, i concentrated on getting some footage of John.
Thanks to John for taking us there! I will definitely be heading back there with a fresh chain!

Head over to http://www.mexicanjohn.blogspot.com/to check out some photos of it

Shook Over the Pond

Last March i was lucky enough to get to go on the Shook Over the Pond trip around the UK.

Me and H-man set off from Newcastle and met up with Chad Shackleford and Wade Young who flew in from the states and toured the UK for 3 weeks. We started in London and from there we visited Hastings, Bristol, Chester, Liverpool, Leeds and finished back in Newcastle.

Chad and Wade shot around 16hrs of footage and that all ended up in the 10th issue of Shook

which i reckon turned out really good, it was great to see a Pro like Chad filming and i learnt alot from traveling with him, i also had a great time just chilling and partying with him, wade,h-man and everyone else along the way. :-)
