All that nonsense aside we found a dead snake in the woods the other day, it smelt better than i do right now.
Towndrow managed to put together a little edit which you can see down below..
see you later dandelions.
I dont think it wont be filled in before the jam this saturday but please check on here before you leave and i'll post if its still there or otherwise buried.
Hopefully gunna be like the same affair as the summer jam LAST YEAR and it'd be rad to see the same turn out to say goodbye to a much loved friend. So throw on some shorts grab a disposable barbeque and some drinks, quite your job and your girlfriend and come on down.
See you saturday hooopefully.
On that note we had three people at the bowl at the same time. this was crazy. its got too hot to drive so most updates will probably now be from as far as i can cycle, currently that is about 10 feet as my knee is pretty obese after a air gone wrong. knee suicide. ive now written the word knee too much and it looks weird and wrong. if i couldn't read english i would get a nosebleed trying to pronounce it.
This would have been a much fatter update but matt and pete had to go home to wash each others hair. This would have also been a more relevant update but apparantly you breathe dominantly through either nostril every 90 minutes on account of your brain cycling between hemispheres, breathing through the left meaning youre more creative at said point and breathing through the right youre more logical. well my nose is forecasting an absolute starvation of logic currently so i guess that ties.
Tally ho!
I'm afraid that once again we have not come-up with the bmx goods. Sorry. I could make an excuse, but I'm afraid I can't be bothered. I now realise that it is exactly this sort of attitude (coupled with localised rain) which prevents us from coming up with aforementioned goods.
One day soon, perhaps.
As promised the other two photos are from our prototype testing of our move into the off-piste ski market. when the trails aren't running what else are you going to do?
Firstly, I would like to apologise for general lack of riding on my behalf. Currently my life is taken over by maths. I even dream in numbers. Similar the matrix, but substantially less gnarly and not as green.
As the title suggests, the name of the game today is shameless self promotion. As some of you may be aware, a few weekends ago I went to a recording studio with my band (ABOVE US THE WAVES) Have a listen. I can only describe the weekend as bitchin'. It is late at night and my eloquence is failing me. Hopefully the above pictures can tell you some of the story...
Peace & Pimm's
Ive been pretty solid down the woods at the moment as alongside the longer days this weather has been quite a blessing for getting new sets built. speaking of digging i never noticed until now but aidan's got back on the blogging wagon and theres some dear words and pictures of cothill and his radio. so WATCH THAT SPOT sonny jim.
One other thing i forgot to put up last time was THIS VIDEO. hopefully you've already seen it but if you haven't you're getting my own personal thumbs up to go lay your drizzled eyes upon this wonder from the land of the cafe.
A new line of t-shirts is currently in the conception stages, without a shadow of a doubt they should be out sometime this year. Despite the bowls wrinkly face i think we are going to go ahead with the mandatory summer jam, although thats usually in may so we have a few months yet.
Ive come to the part now were i link a video up, so heres my CLIP OF THE WEEK and just incase you were expecting bmx, its not, however it ticks all the boxes of rad. ta ra.
Earlier this very day i found a chewit on the floor which caused me to have a pretty long moral dilemma over whether or not to dine apon it. in the end i declined but i had to weigh up some pretty serious factors to come to my conclusion. i believe this to be my story of the day.
Talking of the bowl i came across THIS from the bowl back in its hayday, its so clean it looks like its made out of wood.
I dont have anything particularly clever to say, so instead go watch some bits from a pretty underrated programme that used to be on e4. TELEVISION AWKWARDNESS.
If you're missing summer like i am, go over to the ever fantastic DEFGRIP and watch the united hawaii VIDEO.
Well yesterday myself, pete and phil went down to the meeting about the bowl, although it was actually more of a all welcome voting session. Because of waffling nonesense about insurance claims it doesn't look all too hopeful for the bowl. Though they are planning to build a new park to replace it, this will most proabably be years before anything is done. Contrary to justin lee collins' persistent positive outlook, this is not good times. Karma was on my side though, last night Ferris bueller's day off was on tv and as always it made everything pretty much good again.
I guess the best situation if the council can't get the money to completely repair the bowl is to temporarily re-skim it so its rideable for at best another year or two, and in the meantime source funding for a new park, and im thinking a clover bowl.
Now to shoot sharp and straight to the point Mike's been right on the case and found out that there's a meeting tomorrow at 9.30am at the seacourt hall in botley about it all, so if you want to give this old hermit the support it needs then by all means come along, myself and pete are heading down with our ties and breifcases to employ a strategic presentation on the saving this national treasure. This is really late notice but we weren't sure on the details exactly untill now. Anyway my babbling is a pittence in contrast to the words of the oxford mail, so go read THIS or even more on the ball, THIS for more.
That was all pretty intense so to restore our dysfunctional order here's two things i value as interesting.
1. I just ate hands down the biggest chip i have ever seen.
2. I will make pete buy THIS TIE at some point in the near future.
So what does this mean to the common man? This layout should maximize fun all around, and i really mean widespread fun. The approach we took last year ended up with updates coming around on average 1.666 recurring a month, which if you're a lady or a boyfriend once a month is more than enough, but for the average bigplaytime fan it just doesn't cut the mustard.
We'll aim to pump variety down your throats so much that you have to start reading variety magazine and eating variety packs of cereal to keep up with us. You'll send money to the VARIETY to make it stop but it just wont.
Anyway, im working on something for sometime within the next week so in the meantime listen to south africa's very own N-DUBZ.
Im really hoping that there wont be a huge drought of posts after this, it always seems like we do more riding in the winter anyway which is bizzare and slightly arousing.
this has probably been blogged and re-blogged just about everywhere by now alas i saw it only earlier and it made me HAPPY. right, im off to do something wild like cut my nails.
