obmx is big time
I got content to post on the blog in an email! It was however only from Mark but here it is: a ultra exciting video of the skatepark progress. I cannot wait. I also am praying for free bar at the opening party … the budget can easily make it to free Corona or similar nice beer for all 18+ riders/skaters.
New Deluxe Video from the weekend
Digging Days: Barend 28th February from Deluxe Bmx on Vimeo.
Check it out yo. Barend was rad and look mega good for summer. I cannot wait. Hope the rain the other day hasn’t washed the trails away.

Hi,
After that slightly jarbled last post here is something a little more coherent.
Basically my life ended when my G4 finally broke down. Lise seems to think it is due to the excessive amount of food and drink I kindly gave to it. I am not so sure. Maybe a more suspicious cause is yet to be found.
So I managed to wangle a new MBP which, Pat, is lovely. And now I have a web cam and intel and everything.
Back to life. Job was well hard, I have officially finished as of today. I am going to Portugal next Monday and hopefully going to get as sun burnt as possible when an English tourist.
Here are some pics of my travels and good times. The ‘Rowdy’ photo was amazing. Totally made my day. An Austrian car filled with old people with Rowdy as the plate. Good times.
Trench warfare.
Stoked!
Portugal and sun to follow…

february affairs
So no updates since christmas trails video – I guess not much has happened. London keeps on but is a bmx free lifestyle which is not great. Unhealthy. Still go home plenty and digging is getting done. Especially by Al.
He did all the 2 lips in this one morning, we all did the landing a few days before.
This was almost finished but the extreme weather made it like this. That landing was verticle at the back and then it rained and all fell down. The lip was smooth before lots of frost and rain. It is done now though.
On occasion this year we have had a fair few diggers – which is a good development.
Charlie only takes photos in portrait?! Very uninternet. Well here is Al and I chalking up a new lip. All stuff is getting a layer of this powder chalk I found in the wood. It will be almost barendesque.
One of few landscapes; sorting out the current last in the bigline. It is done now but there is not pic. After this when we get the digger there will be a left-hand berm, a racetrack size roller double, a stepup going down a lot after the landing, then a long flat jump, then a 270degree wide berm round a tree, and then hopefully we will build some pointlessly massive jumps to equal ultimate warrior or something. Winmill wants to go nuts.
So I’m very positive about this summer; 09 will be one to remember I think. Our trails are definitely going to be the very best they’ve ever been. And good enough that it might actually be worth people visiting. Bigger jumps, smoother lines, longer lines, big quarterpipe, possibly the pizza oven if we get round to it.
Not only are we building in the woods; there are some rad dudes in dorch building a nuts looking concrete park. Should be done in under a month. Poured seamless concrete with bowls and rollers and the like!
Christmas Trails Video
Christmas Trails [click here for vimeo and the HD version] from OrganicBmx on Vimeo.
Yeah so there is it. Click on the link for HD as its way better. The words about it are on the vimeo page.
Think gonna get a digger and loads of new soil in easter, so hope for some decent rain in late april to fix up stuff built with digger. Cutting things a bit fine but thats the schedule. Other stuff will get done before then. Went to the Unit today, fun place but I am so unfit – horrible. Apparently there are some people who want those tshirts – well click the link and do it!
