downtime
So MT went nuts and all my sites were down, which was shit. Lots of photos are still AWOL but will be restored in the next 24 hours I think. So here is that video I was on about. Except it is not an edit; the footage was too erratic and I didn’t really want to edit it. These are just clips. When I get lots of good clips and the trails are sorted, then I will do edits.

that barend vid

yeah so there you go – something to watch. i recommend signing up to vimeo and downloading the original file even if you delete it after – the quality is so much better. will put up a video of home trails action over easter next week some time when vimeo re-sets itself.
read the post below locals.
message from on high:
if you dorset permanent faggots haven’t even been to the trails since the rain then you’ve going the right way to getting banned. stop being such useless lazy bastards and actually put some work in. those trails don’t grow on themselves. you need to go up the trails, pack all loose shit in, tidy all bad stuff away, tarp if they are damp, water then tarp if they are too dry, finished the two fricking jumps that still are not built and have been waiting for rain, repair any storm damage before it gets any worse, etc fucking etc…
basically it don’t matter if someone concreted over a carpark; its no reason to turn into pro-hoe-park-loosers. its almost may and there is so much to be done yet. so get yourselves up the trails [mark included] and sort that shit out. you are perfectly happy to ride them without me so fucking dig them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
also: short video from barend a while back when i export and upload it.
how to make tea when you forget a cup
yeah so the woods are now green and most the leaves are out. feels like working pretty well for a good trails summer. It is always bad when the trails are mad damp and the leaves come out and lock that damp in. this year they are very dry, really too dry but its is at least better that way.
so this is how you make tea without a cup. 1: get the milk and a tea bag in a water bottle.
2: hot water
3: sh sh shake it uppp [note a-trak that I said up]
4: dive right in
success.
I really should edit the video footage. Then you can see all this new stuff proper and how the big line is now working. Trails are running well now and the spot finally feels like a proper trails spot. but the jumps are still kinda ugly! wud up with that? cothill looks so amazing in the latest amazing LITW video so go watch that.

This was from a while ago; pretty amusing little puddletown style jump we built over a log on the route home from the trails. Rode up the trails today with Bournemouth folk which was good, stuff getting ridden in pretty good now. Should be getting a digger in the next few days to build some more good stuff. I might make a holidays edit when I get back to London at the end of the week.
Yeah so life and that.
Well been pretty busy, I should use a digital camera more or summat. I don’t have any pictures. Shot some video recently though; there might be a scraps edit in a bit. Trails were good, then dust and fucked and now rained on settling in pretty good. Sunday looks good for a nice ride and some easter biscuits or whatnot.
So the internetz are pretty wild eh: these are the top search referrals to obmx. 10 is the best obviously, but 7, 8 & 9 are mad good too.
If you’ve got any of those crappy 3d paper glasses at home then find them. Check out this video trailer here with them on: http://vimeo.com/3431557 – I was thinking of doing some 3d video stuff, but it clearly is far from perfect. However that vid is still nuts for the clips of Catty Woods and I think BF.
I’ll put up something good on here soon – I hope…
