long day

2009-01-17T14:16:00.000-08:00

its been one long day for me today, went to get a hair cut early this morning pulled up outside the hair dressers and it was packed so i thought no chance, got home in one piece just, and went to start the new job at PNE, i know its good to be early but i was 30mins early, so went and got a drink and went to work. not as bad as i thought working on the burnley side on the bar, its not cheap but i don't make the prices so ow well. final score was 2-1 to pne, burnley supports where not very happy.
managed to get home about 3.30pm so not that bad got a bite to eat and decided to go to rampworx to see some mates and take some pics, was watching a lad on the jump box and he bonked it with his front wheel and straight over the bars, he was out cold for a few minutes and then had a fit, so he ain't going home tonight (it was on the old step up box). after this managed to get a few more pics:

new year?

2009-01-09T03:27:00.000-08:00

Doesn't really feel like a new year, well what should one feel like, i have only made a few new years resolutions; keep the blog updated weekly, go to the gym as much as possible (3times a week) and just to ride more.

raced coppull at the weekend, it was mint, bit cold but really fast, alot turned up for it aswell, 10motos in total, crusier numbers are limited a bit now but still 7 is not bad, i managed to win the first moto, get 3rd in the second moto behind matt in 1 and shane in 2, my excuse was i had the outside gate. 3rd moto i was leading all the way to the line matt just got me by a wheel, come final time i was getting pretty tired so i had to wake myself up, couldn't have matt beating me, managed to get a snap and stayed in front all the way to the end, i was shattered at the end, got home at about 2.30pm so pretty early.

just to say thanks to www.abitaylorphoto.com for the pics.

i will be doing a update tonight with some photos from downhill riding on the 2nd of january, not as good as the others i have posted but there are a few nice ones, it was a better day aswell, we managed to find a 1min 20second run to ride so we are pretty stoke with that, starts with some single track them goes into some woods followed by a drop and feild of burms, where you have to fall off at some time.

new years eve eve

not more down hill

2008-12-29T12:52:00.000-08:00

it was a mint day today, cold but great clear weather, managed to hike up white coppice on the edge of chorley, then rode down the whole thing had to stop a few times for dog walkers, but it was about a 10min run after about a hour of walking, really was worth it, the arms felt some pain being on a hard tail, so it was just hold on and hope, trying to brake is not worth it on a frozen path as i found out, as we hit the rocky paths i was not fealling to confidient but still carried on, only found the floor about twice so not to bad. after we had some fun, we went into a small quary so i managed to get a few photos of my mate doing a few drops, then do a few shots of chorley. after that we headed over to heally nab to hit the road gap up for a bit, after a rebuild and a bit of beefing up tim was almost making it.

got a few pics, follow the link below to veiw the rest.

bradford race day

2008-12-21T11:47:00.001-08:00

Pretty mint day today in bradford. The weather was to good, head on wind down the first straight and third straight, so it meant it was pretty hard to get a good gate and first straight, it got worst as the day went on.
my gates where feeling pretty strong for me, come first moto all crusiers where in together which meant it was pretty stacked matty glyn and me doing it 16-29, russ, rory, nigel, tank and two others doing it for 30-39 and 40+. i was expecting to be snapped by rory as he can normally snap me but i had gate one with matt in gate two, managed to get a really strong start and moved across matt, to avoid the soft stuff, got into first turn first and felt the wheels going from under me due to the loose stuff on the burm and i thought i was going to was out but managed to keep it under control and came out in first, did the 2nd straight fast, come to the 2nd turn i decided to crank it round and go for the pro, coming onto the triple on the pro after spinning alot of it, my legs where on fire, nigel just managed to get out in front and get round the last turn in 1st, i had 2 people go straight under russ doing it old school with the foot out skid and rory just doing the normal thing, so managed to get 4th in that moto, i thing matt fell off somewhere aswell for some reason.

by the time the 2nd moto came round i was shattered with only a few minute break not enough to recover so i didn't do to good in this moto, ended up with 6th i think, with matt beating me.

3rd moto and i was ready for it, didn't have a inside gate i had 4 instead with rory and nigel on the inside of me so managed to get into the first turn safley in third but had russ go under me then he slid out so i went to dodge him and matt glyn went straight into my back end and took himself off for the second time, i can't remeber what happened after that in the moto.

final time, i had gate 2, not a brilliant start but can't really remeber it all i was just trying to stay on the bike in the wind, it was so hard with head on wind when on the gate and the rain just started to come down.

managed to have a play around with my new camera in the practise, i enjoyed using it, i promised oggy that i would take some pictures of him on his new ride so i took a few, i like this one the best.
big upto to andyc to taking me and ben moss, hope the arms get better soon

mint birthday

2008-12-21T11:19:00.000-08:00

had a awesome birthday yesterday, got loads of text from people and messages on facebook, thanks to all of you who giving me them. got a new camera as a present some cash and a few other presents. got a call from westwood, from bbcradio1 and got onto the radio for the birthday thing they do on a saturday night, pretty good day in the end after being up from 6am and on the motorbike for about 6hours in total.got a nikon d60 now, pretty good camera, had a play with it today and like it, only took about 10pictures on it and they are now on my face book, it feels better than the d50, bit small and lighter with a better display, standard lence is really good aswell.

long time no blog

2008-12-12T01:46:00.000-08:00

i know it ahs been along time since put anything up on here, but i have been pretty busy laterly so not really had a chance, but doesn't stop me from checking out other blogs. i just wrote this blog and i am now thinking it looks more like one of my college reports rather than a blog, oww well, people still read it. i will start to update the blog at least once a week from now on, i will kput it on my to do list with all the other stuff i have to do at home.

been riding almost every weekend since the national, and been loving it. i have either had a race or a roadtrip on nearly every sunday, then the good old gates at preston on saturday, aswell as working thursday, friday, saturday and sunday evenings.

manchester regional
great event this, pitty the weather couldn't make its mind up, i was racing against matty glyn as boota fell asleep in his van, got 1st in the first moto, then didn't get a decent warm up for the second and third moto, so i got a 2nd and a 4th. come final time i had enough time to get a decent warm up, had some monster in the break aswell, that always helps. had something like gate 4 and matt had gate 8, we where next to each other down first straight i thought he might of tried a move in the burm but no chance, i don't know why he didn't try one. but in end managed to get 1st over the line. been playing round in practise with some different lines on the last straight in practise, they where all pretty fast, i was also messing round on the 3rd straight, i was tring to jump in and jump out of the quad but could not managed to jump out, in the end i hit it a bit fast and trippled it, i was pretty happy with that even though i didn't mean to do that.

coppull
i raced at coppull at a club race on sunday, good racing but i found it hard form some reason, i had stacked motos, cal, sutty, rory and a few more people i can't remeber in the end i didn't make the A final but got into the B and had a pretty poor gate for me, i only had 2/3 gates in practice as i woke up late, poor show really. i managed to fight through to the front with peebz behind, it felt like a mint lap until i hit the last corner, i started to spin in the first turn and just pedalled as much as i could but i lost 1st place to peebz on the last jump where i was just so knacked he just managed to get past me. overall tho pretty good day, would of been better without the mud.

preston
the gates at preston have been pretty good with loads of new people turning up, its create to see so many kids getting into the sport with the help from the club with bikes and equipement. i could really do with snazel down at preston to push me a bit harder, flems great and everything but i have no chance of keeping up with him, but with snazel i might just have a chance.

goldcoast
along time ago i know but was pretty good, only the 3rd time i had ridden clipped in. every race boota just managed to take me on the first burm, after a pretty good gate and first straight, with it only being a short track anything could happen, in the final i unclipped and that was the end of it for me.

bradford, yeadon roadtrip
this roadtrip was pretty cool, the revamped yeadon track is going to awesome once the start hill is tarmaced and a few lips are added it will be ready for sessions. after we muched around for about a hour or so we went off to bradford, now this place is rad now, big jumps in the write places and small jumps in some weird places, first straight is all down hill so fast as fook, coming out of the first burm was the worlds worst small jump it was like they had just drawn round a crusier, it will cause some serious accidents if people don't jump it. coming of the 2nd turn the only line to get to is the pro which is huge, but the inside is mint, the only problem is getting to the inside line, you sort of have to cut in between the straights. last straight is good and tech, not to deep until the last two doubles which sort of drop away.

crewe evening sessions
i managed to get on these about 2 or 3 times before i went and ended up in hospital with andyc, just got out of the car and he broke is arm on the 3rd straight on his first lap, what a TOOL. he has now just got his arm out of cast but it still ain't right, be a while before he is back on the bike. it will be after christmas before another trip to crewe because of the work which is being carried, first two burms have now been tarmaced accourding to speidy reidy, first and second straight have also been resharped and second has had some major work.

ghostbikes.com
so team new, not much has been happening here, got new kits which look pretty good, white with some camo added, just waiting for the helmets to come now then it will look pretty good. going to get the bike sprayed up for next year, in white, with white hubs and rims, them blue decals of a white frame hopefully, should look pretty sweet, need to get my park frame painted first so thinking of powder coating just to get it done quick and out of the way.

what a weekend, i loved it all except for not getting a trophy or a plate after going to every national. well done to all the national champs.

crusier had 15 people in it which was new, i think this year the max we have had was about 13, its great having that many people in the race but each moto was almost a full moto, with either 7 or 8 people, so i needed to get top4 to get a final, i had no chance and ended up in the b-final, a few unusual face in the b, twarn and josh fighting it out for number one, me in for 3.

junior men was a great class to watch, a big crash in the semi cost greg holloway a place in the a-final, so he was left with the b. 13-14 was very close with 3 riders all going for number one plate, in the end evening after his crash in the a-final jacob won, well done lad.

preston national

2008-10-10T01:35:00.001-07:00

should be a good weekend, lots of people will be on there way up north for the final round of the nationals, crusier should be fun, rumours are that ryan vinyard will be on a MTB, and kerion on a crusier, big suprise.
titles will be on the line this weekend for some people.
there will be a large raffle this weekend with loads of different prizes including a choice of koxx frames, some zoo york clothing and many other prizes.
shanaze will be in attendance, she might race depends on how she feels mixing it up with elite men, should be great watching.

New record

2008-10-08T03:55:00.000-07:00

coppull got a new record for a club race with 10 people racing crusier, but only 4 in 16+, normally it is the other way around. coppull is a awesome track on some day in good weather, and on sunday it just felt awesome, i didn't do to bad in crusier with a 1st a 3rd and 1st, which gave me 3rd pic in the final, picked my favourite gate 3, got a decent snap and got into 3rd and just stayed there with sutty taking number one and chris platt taking number 2, great day.
the trails guys had been working rather hard lately with bad weather meaning no riding, so they got building, it seems they have big plans, will update when i know but took 3 pics on the phone of the drop in, first, and second have a look and see what you think, will upload more when i visit.

preston sunday

2008-10-03T01:49:00.001-07:00

a awesome day, unfortunatly the goldcoast boys could not make it, the a-final in payback would of been mint with them there. 143 people attentended, seemed like more in the pens, something like 23 motos and semis in payback. No wan there, were was you? twarn was racing payback, along with wans best mate kerion, he didn't look on it that day.

16-29 crusier was mixed with masters so it was me, boota, chris platt, jack raz and matt. came out to be good racing for us, i got third every race, while boota and chris platt took 1st and 2nd, boota did a dirty move on me in one of the motos brake testing on the last berm, come final time i got a good snap from gate 8 (i hate picking pegs from a bag) then moved across to get into 3rd down the 1st straight, chris platt was on the outside and boota on the inside, boota pushed chris onto the pro so i went inside, been getting it smooth all day and i had to screw it up in the final, ended up pumping through the whole thing so got into 2nd from that mistake, boota made off to take the win and it was just up to me and chris, he was next to me all the way down the 3rd straight and come to the last berm just got under me coming out of it so he got 2nd and i was left with another 3rd.

shoout out to the guys riding the brand new koxx frames, both trails riders every so skecky on the track but there where fast, ali from tarty bikes rode in 16+, i saw him in one moto bounce off nial lennon in mid air, i thought there where both going to come off, but some how they stayed on, i think ali came off in the a-final, he was in a good postion aswell, but the last berm took another victim. his mate on a koxx did well all day aswell, sorry can't remeber your name.

check out tartybikes
also check k-124 which is koxx website, koxx is connected with try all

first blog

so i thought i would jump on the bandwagon with the all the other bloggers, not really been up to much laterly been working every night since coppull national, so have been pretty tired, managed to make it to gates at preston on saturday, only got a hour or so of gates, but i felt like it was going, i was beating peebz down first straight of most gates, jacob had me each time, sutty had me a few times, he is fast for a old timer. jacob is on fire at the minute, jumping all the 2nd and 3rd straight at preston.

i have been reading wans blog laterly, i say i have to agree with on the mtb issues, and i can jsut say that i will support you all the way on this issue.
