Bay Court Hotel, Anglesey

January 29, 2010

Went out for a drive today to blow the cobwebs from the S62 V8 as it’s stood unmoved for five weeks now, and we came across this place out in Benllech, Anglesey.  Couldn’t resist snapping off a couple of shots, indeed I wish I’d had a bit more time to explore.  I love derelict old [...]

Stories of the poor and unfortunate

January 27, 2010

Here’s a quick entry to pimp my friend’s new site: Now, get off my stage.  Ry’s writing under his pseudonym has appeared in many places (including Revolt Magazine), and it’s awesome to see him consolidate this into one place which is going to be regularly updated. “If you are interested in what I do in [...]

Best turndown in BMX?

January 25, 2010

There have been a couple of fun questions posed recently on Dig Magazine‘s site and on TCU regarding two of the most subjective (i.e style over substance) tricks in bike riding – tabletops and turndowns.  Sad thing is, even I overlooked this guy when it came to the last question – Keith Treanor.  Keith was [...]

Firefox Add-Ons for 2010

January 25, 2010

I flit back and forth between Safari, Chrome, and Firefox but always end up using the latter as my ‘main’ browser for one simple reason – the plugins.  While Chrome may be quicker and Safari launches faster and has better text rendering, Firefox can’t be touched for one simple reason – the vast array of [...]

Still trawling back through the old email archives, there’s some quality – and long forgotten – shit in here: 08/04/1997 “hi nick – i went to marseille skatepark last weekend. it ruled. here’s a photo of fids and a girls ass. later – will” That picture of Fids is nothing short of classic.  Click to [...]

Dirt

January 20, 2010

Back around ’96 / ’97, myself and Ben used to update a little website that we named ‘Dirt’, with some reviews of BMX videos, music, and information on various ‘scenes’ around the UK.  The inspiration came mainly from Kieran Chapman‘s eWire e-zine, and while it was fun to do at the time we lost interest [...]

Hard Drivin’

January 18, 2010

The past couple of years have seen the rise of a strange branch of motorsports, an uneasy alliance between the ‘Xtreme’ generation of sports sponsors and the motoring world that’s resulted in a new event in the X-Games and chaps like Ken Block (I still have a Blockhead cap somewhere, cheers Dennis!) earning the respect [...]

Skate and Create

January 15, 2010

So this post was inspired by a little video that I came across recently, which includes Ian MacKaye (amongst others) talking about how life as a skateboarder changes your perception of the world around you. It’s funny because it’s this exact same conversation that I’ve had with so many other people (BMXers mainly) through the [...]

Eyup now then lad

January 14, 2010

The Budweiser ‘wassup‘ advert sparked quite a few parodies back in its day – including some from the company itself, but there was one in particular I was especially fond of in which the ‘wasssuuuup’s were replaced by Yorkshiremen saying ‘ey up’ instead.  Fast forward a few years and a conversation with my girlfriend resulted [...]
