Southsea Skatepark

July 29, 2007

Potentially the shittest news this year. Even shittier than the weather forecasters announcing that we’d be in for all this rain.
The future of Southsea Skatepark is looking uncertain. Portsmouth City Council is preparing to close the park in September of this year unless a suitable plan can be made in conjunction with a private [...]

Cor blimey guv’nor

November 12, 2006

An update, and it’s about time. So in the past couple of months I’ve moved down to London, started a new contract, and joined the gym. Pretty drastic stuff eh. I’ve had a fair bit more luck than my poor ol’ cuz whose having a hell of a time finding somewhere to [...]

Central Skatepark

October 3, 2006

Here’s a couple of snaps I took on Sunday of how Central Skatepark in Manchester is coming along. Looks like it’ll be a lot of fun – there’s a couple of good sized mini / midi ramps towards the back and that ditch with a bowled out vert will be interesting to ride. [...]

Norcal and back…

August 16, 2006

I’ve uploaded some photos I took of our trip up to Oakland and back here – there’s a couple from Hollywood / LA, some from San Francisco, and some from the drive back along the PCH including a stop at the Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park which was unreal. The scenery along the coast [...]

Plenty For All

August 12, 2006

Crikey, I’ll have been back in the US for two weeks this coming Sunday but already it feels like I’ve been here alot longer. So far I’ve managed to get sunburnt, flood a Reverend’s toilet, spend an evening on a booze cruise courtesy of Reef and eat myself almost sick at EZ-J’s. I’ve [...]

Trails, visa

July 17, 2006

Rode trails with a couple of people for the first time in about five years on Sunday somewhere down in Accrington. Pretty good setup, jumps were a bit dry and haggard in places and it looks like they haven’t been maintained by anyone in a while but they were good fun all the same.

Split Lip

June 26, 2006

Kellie: “Hey Nick, you do know that the bottom tube on your BMX frame has a split in it?”
Me: “Yeah right, it’s probably just a scratch…”
Kellie: “No seriously, there’s a split in the metal!”
Me: “I doubt it babe, metal doesn’t usually just split and anyway, these frames are practically indestructable.”
* Gets bike out and turns [...]

New Old School?

April 4, 2006

I found a fairly old issue of Ride UK the other day with an ace photo (courtesy of Brad MacDonald) in the centre spread of Pete Augustin. He’s riding a hip at the Home Ave. ditches in San Diego, and the caption at the bottom reads something like “A 28 year old Pete Augustin [...]

Fight Club

April 2, 2006

Watching this on BBC2 right now. So fucking timely.
Here’s a couple of scans [one, two, three] I’ve done over the weekend from some old photos of taken at the back of Burnden Park in 1995. Good times, good times.
More to come – I’ll upload them to my gallery once they’ve been [...]

P.O.W House

January 25, 2004

Anyone who has been into BMX for a while (i.e more than a couple of years) will probably have heard of the P.O.W (Pros of Westminster) house. It’s the original BMXer pad that came about in Southern California in the early 90’s and where riders like Chris Moeller, Dave Clymer, Keith Treanor and Todd [...]
