Car or Train to London???

Sitting having breakfast and not wanting to drive into London. I knew I had the bike and I knew the tubes are not bike friendly. Then I thought what's more hassel taking the bike apart and into a bike bag or the boot of the car and traffic jams. The dilema was solved I was late if I took the car and the train will be the most accurate for arrival. Great western direct from Reading to Paddington has mini tv's in the head rests. Is this for secret messages for the worker ants on peak time.

Scary puncture

I was not even riding my bike. I had put the bike in the kitchen to take a photo it and I left it there and watch some tv. 1hr later I heard a slow consistant hiss and thought a gas pipe had burst. Forgetting the bike was there. Oh well must remember to no freak out next time a bike is in a kitchen with slow puncture.

Onza zoot 26"

Well after just putting a back brake on it. I could not wait to fit a front and got out on it as soon as possible. This is the best bike I have ever ridden so far. It's like the koxx karbon I used to adore but the Onza zoot can ride street like mother f******er and still be the ultimate trials machine at the same time. Total contender against the danny macaskill "four play" while laughing at the price tag anything koxx.

"Brokeless" or "Brakeless"

The great thing about brakeless is the freedom and new beginning that you get going from being a rider with brakes to no brakes. Instead or repitition it's being hit with new rules of timing and chain (brakeing) tension. The broke trials rider with broken brakes will love the option of the temporary style of brakeless while getting ready for buying/repairing brakes. Me myself am riding with just a back brake and find myself half way between the 2. I'm riding the brand spanking new Onza zoot 26"

1st Place


Had a local race with a great bunch of riders. Event organiser Alex darby kept times. I soon found my self getting very competitive. Focused and wanting to win i had a fast 1st lap and then 2nd which i knocked off another 2 more seconds which got me the first place. I am now left with the race bug and want to do another soon as possible.

Home Made

It's so rewarding building your own stuff to ride. This is what I did on my own. Imagine what you could do with a couple of mates.

Bike perfection

If you have the time and tools or local bikeshop that can prep your bike it will give you the best perfomance. The parts installed to te bike will last longer saving money and the quality of your riding. The saying "A bad workman blames his tools". This case you can't.

Riding rails

I love riding rails. They are all around us and you come across them everyday in normal life. Mabey they are only important to old people and extreme sports. This set of photos shows head on towards a rail, super stupidly high rail and super skinny. Top bit of advice stay away from them in the winter/ice weather.

Chain snapping

I'm a firm believer that if the chain is installed correctly with the right tool and instructions it will not snap. My chain will Stay on my bike for 6 months and will get replaced this means you should never lack commitment or confedence in putting all your weight into the chain for static/run ups.

Nick g and Meek

Went for a ride with my mate nick and felt like it was monkey see monkey do. I would be riding like normal having thought through what I was going to takle. After seeing nick try somthing new I would be all over it. He always picks awkward riding lines that are so fun. One of the best things about riding with friends/others is your going to see somthing new from another set of eyes.

Daylight hours

Thinking about how good it will be for daylight hours is kinda exciting for riding ideas that need to fit in after a full days work before you can ride.

ISC intergrated skeleton concept.

I am up at 6 30am and a bit tired starring at a bmc st01. Yes I can see the rear end of the bike has triple butted tubing but where is this intergrated Skeleton concept. The only thing it can be is by the bb pivot point with a bit that can only be described like a piece of vertebra. What next intergrated finger concept?
