Long Time No Dogging

So yeah hiya.

I hope everyone is okay at the BMX headquarters in Dorset. Hope hope hope good. Yeah.

I’ve been busy with riding and stuff. It’s been good. Very happy. Met so many cool people – some odd, some friendly and some just plain stupid. Fruits of life and that. Currently sitting on Lise’s bed in Annecy with a freshly broken wrist and dislocated right (the good one) shoulder. Bummer. Got the first World Cup in about 3 weeks (less!) so am a little stressed if I’m going to be okay for that little nugget. Remember “hope hope hope good. Yeah.”

Here are some pictures of the trip so far… They’re small hope they fit so Pat doesn’t got all 111 on me.

and ive done a bit of jump testing.

im having horrible flashbacks to last year when it was all too dry to build then got wet for most of summer. we need the rain so very badly to settle all the digger work properly and so build up verticly. looking at the shovelload’s jumps recently has made me feel both very good and very bad. they are top stuff looking jumps and look like tons on fun, but ours really are not; ours are ugly and bumpy and cold and horrible. And the chill north wind blows you off your bike when you are testing and beats the shit out of you on the chalk and flints. i didnt enjoy that and neither did my mum, she had flashbacks too.
