GBH Ramps

I got an email from Lisa at GBH ramps. She’s a hottie. Who calls their skateboard park company Grevious Bodily Harm Ramps? That’s just asking for trouble. The links are pictures. I think I am supposed to tell you about the new skatepark they have built in Bristol. That’s it above. Here’s a review from somone that’s never been there.

The spine is too small. There’s no jump box. There’s no quarter at the roll-in end. They are the things I don’t like.

Things i like – Flood lights, Spine mini, Quarter to flat bank hip (alley oop transfers.), Nice big space out the back for skaters to roll aroubnd and crankflip in/flatland/ghetto ramps. Transfer from spini mini to roll-in.

Things I am not sure about: Is the spine mini big enough? Should there be more hips (between the 2 quarters maybe). Is the volcano ridable by anyone who isn’t insane?

GBH make concrete bowls as well. Can we have a discount on one in Headcorn for all this great advertising? I’ll make you a website…

Paul Wall Stall

Paul is off the hook. Just a couple more pictures from Sittingbourne. I’ll make a page soon. I get over 100 hits aday and maybe 1 post in the guestbook a day. How does that work?

Ashford

Go here and tell Ashford council that they need a new skatepark. The town is supposed to be doubling in size over the next few years, and they are threatening to turn the current skatepark site into a lake, so we need to start making our voices heard.

Pictures

I don’t like my new camera it takes horrible out of focus pictures. I hardly have any good sittingbourne ones.

Also my flash wouldn’t work with it which sucks too.

Ankle

Yesterday was really fun – lots of tricks going on at sittingbourne and we had the place to ourselves for four hours. Then we went to Burham and I hurt my ankle very badly. I thought it might be broken so this morning I went to A&E with my sick wife, but it was just a bad sprain – torn ligaments. It really hurts though.

If you haven’t looked at the home page properly go back and hover on the jumps.

Spade

Tim carrying some spades. Sittingbourne today. I need to fix my bike. All the trails are getting plowed. When the last set are gone I think I will quit riding.

3120 Shoes

Are shoes a bike part? Well kind of I think because they are important in how you use your bike. I have been using 3120 shoes for about 18 months now. I am really happy with them, but they are falling apart now and I need some new ones. Unfortunatly I can’t find 3120 shoes anywhere. They seem to be extinct, so I am looking for a good replacement. Recommendations in the book please.

Tired

I’ve had a busy few days and now I am ill, so I don’t feel like making a website. The old harrow pictures are up for real now so you can go and have a look. Went to buy a car for bling bling Tim today. Have an old picture. Isn’t summer great.

Old harrow pictures

Becasue I have no new media becasue I work all day and don’t have time for riding, i am going to rehash some old media so take it. Here are some very old pictures from Harrow. Before you look, the pictures are scrambled and need reloading to the server, but I really like the way they look so they will stay like that for a bit until i am ready.

I heard they dropped an atomic bomb on Swindon. About £15 worth of damage.

How have I not heard of this website before. So good.
