Wheels of fire 4

The previous weekend saw the wheels of fire 4 jam at Penzance bowl.This being my local i was well excited to be there with everyone.Such a chilled jam and atmosphere with a load of my mates.The BMX jam was held in two groups with a final.I smashed the SLAYER on my ipod and was well psyched.I pulled some things i was stoked on and tried a whip to late bars which went better than i had expected so ill be getting on them more soon.Everyone rode well and Kane and Danny smashed their bikes up good and proper.Never seen wheels get that mashed!Was a really good day though apart from me snapping 2 chains!ah well.heres some pics courtest of Will Harman.

So last week was boardmasters 2011 and to be honest i wasnt there that much to do a good massive write up so hopefully Tom does something similar.I was at hospital most of the week as my girl had quite a bad birth and her blood levels/pressures were sky high or too low.
I made the most of the couple of days i was there and Friday was Bangers for booze.I won a couple of beers for a nac flair and a bars to luc-e 270 out.Funny thing was you werent allowed to drink the beers as Newquay dont allow you to drink in the streets.fair enough i guess.haha.Everyone rode well but wasnt much of a comp/jam.More of a good time riding with mates.So Saturday came around and i wasnt sure whether i was going to the hospital or going to ride.I ended up at the hospital and making sure my girl and boy were ok.She was in there still for a good few hours so i went to ride quals and then go back.Qualifiers went well.There were loads of riders all killing it and the ramp felt really nice to do big things and just generally ride.unfortunately it wasnt enough for me to qualify but i did a few things ive been wanting to do for a while.Got my can flairs back so i was stoked on tht.Also stoked on my boys from cornwall riding well,mainly Kane Hanlan for doing a 540 no hander out of the blue.Tom qualified so that was awesome although i wouldnt be going back to see him ride in finals on the sunday because my girl and boy were coming home then so i was back at the hospital.
So boardmasters 2011 for me was a bit of a strange one this year but what happened outside of boardmasters this year was even better.My highlight had to be everyone knowing i had just got an awesome little boy in my life.Nice one to Tom for doing well and hope he has a write up because im sure he has more to say than i have about it.haha.Next event is Wheels of fire 4 at Penzance and im sure itll be a treat!

Wednesday!

LEMONFEST!!!

Hi guys,

Me and my girl visited "Downtown NA" AKA Newton-Abbot for Lemonfest last weekend and had a lush time meeting the crew! From where I live in *K-town* AKA Kettering to the Odessa neck of the woods was a pesky five and a half hour drive, but let me tell you now it was worth it!! When we got there I dropped all our stuff off at the gate with Jema while I parked the car and when I got back we went to get in only to be told that we weren't allowed to bring in our enormous cool box of joy and sausage rolls or our MASSIVE amount of STRONGBOW!!! So it was another trek back to the car with a heavy cool box and a hefty bag for me :(

When we finally got into the festival we met Brian (one of the directors of Odessa). He is a super cool guy and instantly made us feel at home. It was like we had known him forever when infact it was the first time we'd met!! Also met the lovely Karen, another member of the Odessa squad and her and Jem had a good girly giggle. I was also excited to meet Dom as we have been emailing for a year now but have never met and now we have I feel like even more of a team member. He is a great guy and treated us well.

Had good old British weather all day long - hot then cold, sunshine then rain. Also saw a lush double rainbow and that's gotta be lucky!! Spent lots of time waiting in the ridiculous line for the beer tent who must have made a killing!! We sipped cider and black with the Odessa crew and had some super amazing pizza for dinner!!

Soon enough the evening rolled around and me and my lady had a bit of a dance in the moonlight to the headline act which was.................wait for it............. TOPLOADER!! How romatic haha!! Jema was a FOOL and lost her camera, but luckily later on found it by kicking it across the grass and was like "look I found my camera WOOOO!!!" So there was the usual festival antics but a very happy ending so all is well :)

The sleep in our brand spanking new pop up tent was a nightmare. We both woke up feeling about 70 years old and aching all over. Definitely pitched it in the wrong place too. There was a girl next door who seemed to think she was the new Britney and would not stop singing!! Oh and the portaloos were rank!! I will never understand how people manage to poo all over the seat. I must be missing a trick!

Overall had a lush weekend with my girl meeting the Odessa family :) I was gutted not to be riding because of my shoulder but was super happy to be there supporting the team so thanks for inviting us down guys!! Can't wait to do it all over again sometime soon I hope :)
