The are some new wallpapers up. You can find them without me linking it.

I don’t feel like updating this. I am busy digging jumps.

The new shopping centre in Maidstone opened today. Its not finised yet and as a reult there is a massive five kinked rail, with no anti grind knobs on just ready to be scratched up. Not really my kind of thing, in fact you would have to be nuts but if you were pro it would look amazing in a video section.

Mote Park is on the edge of Maidstone. It has a swimming pool which I used to go to with school and I jumped off the top diving board there which was “totally intense man”.

They are doing up the play area there and there is a chance that a skatepark may be considered. The guy in Action Bikes in Maidstone is also pushing hard for a BMX track. He is a top guy actually – I went in looking for the washer that goes in a profile chainring so it doesn’t move on the axle. He said he had a spare one because he didn’t need his, and he was going to give it to me, but didn’t becasue he couldn’t find it. So he rang up Profile and asked them to send one to him with some promotional stuff, which they did for free. The next day I went back and Profile had forgotton to put the washer in so he gave me some free stickers and said it would be there the next day, which it was. So the point is he is a good guy.

And the other point is that if you want a skatepark and BMX track in Maidstone then go here and tell them. Put BMX track in the other comments. Ignore the fact that it said it has to be done by 14th January.

Even if you don’t live near here fill it in anyway – the more people that do it the better chance there is of getting a park and BMX track. And the guy in Action bike said that if they get a BMX track they will also make space for trails. Good.

Oh yeh, M@ can you put the ufo pictures up again – by popular demand. I think the book was hacked by aliens who didn’t want the world to see their spacecraft.

I am trying to remember when spring happens. It’s one of those strange things. One day its miserable and dead, the next everything is alive. This is the deadline for having the trails finished. If they are not done then, you might as well give up on having greenery at the trails this year. The question is when is that date? It’s not the 8th March, cos stuff is still very dead, and it’s definatley not the 13th June (above) becasue everything is very alive by then. It’s somewhere between the two, I am guessing sometime in April. The problem is that all last years photos of that time are from Orange, the deadest trails ever, and the year before my camera was broken from March to June so no evidence there. Go and dig some dirt jumps.

There is a new media page here.

It snowed again here. There’s no way the trails will be finished before the summer. Too much to do. Although at this rate summer won’t be here until July.

The snow in these parts has been bad which has stopped any use of the car for the last for days. On the picture above you can see Happy Time Harry running along in the snow. Then on the right you have becky catching the snow. It was the size of her eye apparently.

I saw some tracks in the snow. They were about as big as my hand and were about as far apart as my footprints. Tim saw some similar ones. They looked a bit like foxes but a massive fox. This is useful So Tim thought it might be a big cat. There have been a lot of sightings. On further research I decided that they were rabbit tracks. Tim will still insist that it was a puma, which would be cool.

Above – The river broke its banks and flooded everywhere, there was a lot of snow and ice around.

I also dug a trench to the river. It was such a good feeling just watching all the water running out into the river. I must have drained about a foot of water.

I used to make a website called Distsurfer UK. Kind of like MBUK but with smaller wheels and no handlebars. I just put it back up on this server so you can have a look.

I have some spare bandwidth so go here. These are the movies that I downloaded in 2003 – I didn’t make any of them. They might all be bad who knows. Take your pick.
