tomorrow we work premiere

This is for all you that missed probably one of the best nights ever!
So, the tale begins on Saturday morning, im off to get me hair cut before my train, haircut goes ok, get the really hot hairdresser, which is always good, anyway, im in a bit of a rush, cos the people that wanna buy our house were takin a long time to decide, anyway, I get to leeds station fast enough and go get my ticket my sheff, £7.00 open return, so I was on the up already! Get on the train, which takes bout 40 mins on the virgin one, or 2 hours on the northen one, so I hop on the virgin…sorry, I hop on the train and im away, don’t see any bmxers on the way there, get to sheff to meet liz n jen then we go to jens crib via pretty much every bank in existence in like a 100m radius! Seriously, if you ever need a cash point, go to jens house, there fookin everywhere! anyway, we go to jens house after buyin some food, meet a few of her flat mates then we wait like 3 hours for hman, tom, tom bright, pete, ollie, ruth, and cooper to get there, so were all sat around discussin Sheila, who pete actually was considering! haha! Then we get ready, and hop in a taxi, well, some of us dive in to get there first, we neck the rest of our cans in, and out of the taxi, so were all a little loose. When we get there, we slowly realise that the doors avnt even opened yet, and theres a macca long que cos of all the other events happenin, anyway, we get in soon enough and begin to socialise, fathead and craig heckle tom for a bit, marv nearly kills liz for like, looking at his jacket, then tom stood on it, and marv nearly fuckin had to be put down, but it was ok! Then a melon ad, and a T2S vid come on, talking bout pube chompin and alike, not really sure why like, but after the cans, and the general mass of bmx folk around, the atmosphere created laughs at most things, then, without pause from the crap sound system, those fabled words appear on the screen and dan cox kicks things of, now, I cant remember that much of the vid, as I was well needin a piss, and downin my last cans had began to take its toll on my mind, but I do remember thinking that this section was the balls, original, good music, with some proper good lines, don’t wanna spoil it like, cos he does some proper interesting things but you jus gotta watch it I guess! Other highlights were…right, I cant remember certain things in it, but I remember been astounded by some stuff, and havin to incorporate a clap into my awkward seating position, however, pretty much every trick was applauded, so its all pretty damn good!

When the vid finished I ran to the toilet after never needin a wee so much in my life, and then we made our way next door and got into a £14 dj set from bez, many and the reverend (and the makers) for free with our wrist bands, the night got pretty loose, highlights been nate morashan hittin on ruth, dan lacey hittin on jen, he is proper small too!erm…benson constantly huggin me and telling me to move to London, josh Bedford havin a pretty strong arm on him, my conversation with baz keep, and generally dancing for the 9 hours we were in there! 9 fuckin hours!

Then we get back to jens, and the ultimate highlite happened, me, jen n tom bright go for food, I bought chips=85p, n jen n tom had a burger each, and we ended up leavin with a free double chicken burger, extra chips each, 3 spring rolls, 3 battered sausages, pretty much the rest of the take aways chips, and a new pack of 12 baps! Jus cos the guy was been nice, and we talked to him for a bit, was a bit surreal leavin the place with that much stuff after id spent 85p!we then stayed up the rest of the nite heckling tom, and thinking up different environments for the chode! next day, I finally made it home after waitin for ages for Sunday busses and lookin back on the weekend as been bloody awesome!

Cant wait for the dvd to actually watch it properly, its gunna be damn good!

awsome

jus saw this on the attilla blog, its pretty awsome!

Lakai-fully flared intro

im sure uv heard of this, as its sweeping any sort of 'extreme sport' by storm at the moment, and this is mostly due to this. This is so good, it just shows what can be done in terms of filming, editing and general production of skate/bmx movies, obviously the whole underground vibe is also desired somewhat in videos tryin to capture an essence of their own 'scene', but this intro still rules, as 'big' as it is!good skating, good concept, good music, generally just...good!

snow, sex and sally gunnell

ok, so not much sex in this update, but, my new bike is pretty sexy, will get pics n bike check up soon, however, been a reete tool, iv broken me camera, so gunna have to find an alternative method of getin the pictures of my new ride!
Snow, went snowboardin this week to avoriaz on the france swiss border, weather was ok the first n last days, however it was rainin the other days, like proper rainin on the mountains, it was ok tho, got to watch my dad complain n jus fall over in all the wet snow a lot!got to hit the boardpark a few times, get sum rails n jumps done, which is always good!also went to a run called 'the stash' sponsered by burton snowboards, this place is literally jus a forest, but full of so much random crap, like branches turned into rails, log jams, stump stall things, wallrides, hips, huge rails a and boxes, this whole hing was like a skatepark in the snow, and was awsome!so spent a bit of time in there, did my first wallride which is a bit weird on a snowboard!
also, on holiday, we drink a lot, so we found this pretty cool bar that brewed its own strong lager, served awsome burgers, and also played like led zeppelin, portishead, rage, radiohead, so all round, a pretty cool place, also had a really hot barmaid with dreads, but anyway, we were sat watchin the arctic challenge on the tv in the bar, when all these people start piling in, we then realise that amoungst these people is non other than sally gunnell, olympic gold medal winner, and alround awsome runner, i never actually sed owt to her, but watchin her man down a pint is pretty weird!
rite, im gunna try getin an early nite tonight, so gunna wrap this up, easter next weekend, so much ridin will have to be done, i havnt actually had a proper street mish on my new bike yet, so i think a few are in order!also, tomorrow we work premier is this weekend, not sure if i can make it yet, as have a big essay in for monday, n havnt done owt on it yet, but iv ordered a copy non the less!
so il hopefully see you all soon for good times, in a bit!xxx
