At this time of year lots of new faces start to appear at the woods. Without fail you can predict that people who have been at the skatepark all winter will suddenly appear that the jumps with their bikes and a sheepish look on their face, ready to ride your, still slightly soft, jumps. I don’t have any objection to sharing my hard work with people who are prepared to pick up a shovel when its wet and lend a hand, especially if they have the initative and motivation to build their own trails. Sharing something makes it more fun. I don’t have a problem with people coming down to watch or chat. But am I the only one who thinks that it is incredibly rude for people to turn up at the jumps who have never so much as lifted a shovel and expect to ride? Am I just being a trail Nazi about this?

What is it with bands whose names begin with K? The Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, The Klaxons. What is their obsession with making horrible ugly shouty music. And the “lyrics”. Look at the words to “Golden Skans” by The Klaxons. When I hear this on the radio I have no way of telling what on earth they are saying. It’s impossible to make the words out. Then when I found out I couldn’t believe what drivel it was. How has music this bad become so popular? I can see nothing good in it.

I am pleased with this picture.
I am looking at buying a new camera and I found out that the human eye sees twice as much green light as red and blue. To replicate this cameras have to have twice as many green sensors as red and blue ones. So a normal picture like this actually looks like this.
Today I saw a blind man with tatoos. Maybe he knows what the look like from the shape of the pain. Why do tatoos last forever if your body regenerates every 7 years?

Joeys wood (home of Joey’s trails) is up for auction. The guide price says £2000 – £3000 but I expect it will sell for more than that.
This is scary becasue if someone buys it the trails will probably get plowed. Does anyone have any ideas how we could solve this problem?
The auction is on Friday the 13th of April, so only 2 weeks away.

Digging the other jumps tonight…
I know everyone is going on about this but I think the words are pretty entertaining: Scroobius Pimp.
