For now go on VINYL and check out their stuff, the videos take a pretty long wait to load but they are worth it. Also PSHADE! has some nuts clips up including a ginger kid smearing icecream on his face, someone gapping a 50ft river and an old barend dvd.
more updates on the way I'm sure.
Rimmer invaded a miniture golf course, hopping off what was actually a really harsh BRIDGE. josh was wearing a pretty wild hat, wich possibly had something to do with himself getting also pretty wild on this TREE, with a 180 off.
A little extention was put up at the park the other day which was actually real fun to ride although rimmer feels slightly different after it collapsed on him. Matt delivered the goods, wafting a nicely layed TABLE.
Im sure, or atleast hope alot of you used to click the ever famous shovelload of yak and aidan back in its heyday, and although the website has since closed the old geocities url is still fairly functional. all the old words and pictures on there are still an absolute treat. yaks going to murder me for this but what the hell, without any further introduction its THE SHOVELLOAD, CIRCA 2005.
Matt's put together a little edit with some stuff from the jam and himself and pete at the local spots of choice. HIT IT. There's plenty of gracious shots of pete in a wifebeater for all you ladies out there. its also not liking being widescreen and everythings abit tall, i assure you matt's working on it though.
If you want to see more of the jam, ginger matt's edit is the one to go to, CHECK IT OUT. like a book at your local library.. yeaahh
Weathers set to be rubbish this weekend so pick up your spades and build a lip, or equally draw us some fan art. points for use of glitter.
The gap to grass comp was pretty much won by MATT, with some valiant and ever so close attempts by JOSH and JEREMY. I think jib almost got it too but didn't get a picture, needless to say he was shredding.
That comp kinda ended up turning into a height comp which was shut down by a huge JEZ BOOST and MATTS SACK TAPS.
I was really surprised by the fairly UNEXPECTED TURNOUT. in light of this Josh got his BIG FAT AIR on, and as did jamie get his big fat SEXY BACK.
Elimination train winners GINGER MATT and MAX took the spoils of choc-ice's and questionably COOKED MEAT.
Mr Oliver Clark took some cool pictures as well, their all up on his facebook but here's two for now; i pulled out a JAM TABLE and got ourselves a pretty ORGANISED TRAIN going, next time we'll go for 6. cheers for thoes photos olly.
Plenty more shithot stuff went down but i cant be bothered to write about it so heres a bunch of pictures;

If we do another jam, late summer im guessing, we'll do it tag-team style elimination. should be rad as hell.
We've got abit of a backlog of media from a bunch of days recently, probably the most interesting was that we went to the cantelowes bowl in camden, home of tennis court fights, ndubz and the WEDNESDAY crowd. it was a super nice atmosphere there despite rimmer snapping his frame, everything was really chilled. we didn't get many riding photos as it was too much fun just flowing around. anyway heres a bunch of pictures we did get from cantelowes and other days..

Im still trying to work out if THIS ADVERT is just a really subtle joke, judge for yourself. See all you wildcats at the jam, we'll get hella crazy and you can get your photo taken with rimmer. personally i couldn't think of anything better for the mantlepiece. Lastly please do not be confused by the bowl jam poster, there is not a naked gap to grass or nudity comp planned..
So there it is people, the bigplaytime summer bowl jam, this time we shall have some sort of prize(s) to be won for sure and there wont be rain (although if its looking like it closer to the time then it shall be moved to another day but adequate warning should be in place, just check the site the night before). i'll slam updates underneath this just so its kept at the top so no-one misses it, anyhoo spread the word. hope to see you all there!
As well as being a measure of HEIGHT Jamie managed to let his car keys jump out his pocket and into the vast field encompassing the park, sods law made this day be the day the council were cutting the grass and jamies keys got cut up and scattered into many little pieces about the field. we managed to find a few bits but in true playtime style gave up after 10 minutes and all squeezed in matts eco-flex-peanut whip to get some spares.
Our south african connection Max has been deemed by matt one of the most truthful people; he said he would would ride bikes but its too scary, a far cry from the usual response of 'yeah i used to ride downhill bikes so i would but that bikes too small' pfft, shut uppp. despite all that here's an damn good song, TURN IT UP.
I stumbled apon THIS PHOTO recently by CHRIS TSOU, definately one of the nicest invert photos ive seen in a long time. He's also got some more pretty mint stuff up there so check it out, that was just one that particularly grabbed me.
Weathers set to be good again now so put on your wife-beaters and shorts and get some grazed knee's. expect more frequent updates.. maybe.
Despite this we managed to sneak in a lightning fast session at the bowl, as pete demonstrates while sending a three out of matts derrière. I also feel it is time to share some interesting facts with you, that you may find out over the coming weeks.
1- Matt has surprisingly HIGH NIPPLES.
2- Pete is actually just a growth on MIKES SHOULDER
That out the way i can launch the news that we only have 1 medium size tshirt left in the bigplaytime stock room so get your proverbial 9 pound sterling shotguns loaded.
We're planning some sort of bigplaytime summer barbeque/jam type thing much like the haloween one but with more hawaiian-shirts and zero rain. This time we'll get a height stick and a more organised comp with a small cash prize fund. we'll keep you posted on that one though.
Finally, ive been meaning to link these guys for ages, THELASTPEOPLE is a really great site that manages to find some shithot generally bmx related things off this old crazy internet, all layed out sweet as kittens. Definately worth bookmarking that one.
Well i guess thats pretty much enough said from me, Matts got a little web edit to put up so keep your eyes peeled because matt gets nicely ontop of pete.. you'll see.
Anyway, i went to the cellar last week to see CHRIS'S BAND, chris is responsible for rimmer being called rimmer and adequate credit has never been voiced untill right now, chris can also pull some sweet moves on his GUITAR so be sure to check them out. Matt OVER-INDULGED and we had a nice chat with a man that claims to have been drunk for 32 years, top guy.
In rimmer related news the fames been getting to his head, so please NO... PHOTOS...
I got an email a while ago asking where the jumps were located. I have checked out with the rest of the team and
we all feel we can release THIS detailed map.
Now I cannot promise complete acuracy but somewhere in that circle I'm pretty sure...
As with all good rides this one started at the bowl, pete got his MOTO out. A search for nibbles was then in order and i managed to find this grass boob thing that looked pretty unrideable, pete deemed it a logistical nightmare but it seemed good enough to me for a BOOST. Petes street apetite was literally fizzing by now so we visited sunny oxford in search of some new spots, pete almost killed a chinese girl doing this TUCK.
Things weren't looking that great by now, I remebered noticing a tree ride in a park years ago so we went to investigate and it pretty much saved our day. it was actually almost too much fun, AIRING IT was quite strange because the side you landed on was over-vert but it still felt really smooth. Pete managed to get this PRETTY FAKIE TREE-RIDE which is well worth a look. I took that with an old pentacon lens i bought from oxfam for a fiver, so my lesson for today is to buy your stuff from oxfam.
Pete then managed to perfect his fine art of PETE-FROLICKING, he's such a lady killer, i need to learn more of his suave moves. This lady was doing some funny STRETCHES in the park, i really hope she was about to do some backflips or something but we didn't stay around to watch.
Anyhoo thats about it from me, we've actually got a pretty big surprise brewing that should be with us in a week or two so start saving your pennies..
This now makes me feel a good riding update is in order or maybe just a big picture of petes face. nevertheless we'll try and peel something out.
I had quite a few thing i wanted to link but i cant remeber any except this trailer from BACKBONEBMX its pretty short but so nuts WATCH IT. Anything that starts with a huge screaming toboggan cant be bad.
1. My mother told me that if you eat your crusts, you get curly hair. I never eat my crusts.
2. My favourite type of cake is carrot cake. this has nothing to do with my hair.
3. When i press shuffle on my iTunes, "love machine" by girls aloud with almost definately play. don't judge me.
4. Will once described my one true weakness as having a penchant for "big jugs". He may be correct.
5. Once, i got really bored, and decided to pass the time by putting all of my clothes on at the same time. This is both silly and hilarious. I suggest you give it a try...
So then it was just me. Redditch is amazing, most probably one of the best outdoor parks i've ever been to. Remember that Luke Peters VIDEO? It was longer than that in my memory...
Aidan managed to take this PICTURE shortly before passing out so well done him. I then drove his chick car 'Priscilla' back to the hospital where they felt him up, plastered him up and patted him out of the hospital in his pants.
So if you have a spare day and a car within the next 6 weeks, spare a thought for aidan and take him on a trip somewhere. He'd like that. xx
Yak rode darn SMOOTH despite having had nothing to eat but the remnants of last nights beer-face. that didn't make much sense but i wont look back at it, much like the way yak never looks back at a lip after he's ridden it. WHAT? REALLY?.
Matt swore to me that never again would he wear shorts when riding trails after the beating the acheived last year so he started off the first ride in some nice hypocritical SHORTS. We seem to have a trails uniform of grey hoodies going on, so to complete this triad here's myself and a SKETCHY RUN, there were smoother photos but this just felt that bit more photogenic and like the way of the pete and a lovely way to sum up; 'i'll take it'.
