Yoink.



Poached good 'n' proper from both the Streetphire board and main site is this video of some dudes from Leeds riding both Leeds and Paris. Good stuff!



While I was grabbing the loot from SP, I also spotted that the next section from Brighton Ain't Ready is up - featuring Darryl Tocco, Davey Watson and Mat Roe. Jon Taylor (Namedrop) told me that he thought that Mat Roe hitting that sign thing like a spine (Hammerdrop) was the best thing in B.A.R. Bold claim, but at the same time it's pretty true. I mean, you really need to see that thing, but I have no idea how you'd ever think of doing that, nor be capable of doing it. Just another reason that that dude's so good - incredible control, something a lot of people seem to neglect as they try and +1 their whip or bars count...

The last few days...

Well, as a result of the Tim Lewis Live Text Update service I was getting I had a rough idea about the whole Ride to Glory gig, but a H-Man (Namedrop!) call on the way back from Leeds confirmed that WTP won this year. Good stuff. Go here for the legit coverage. Heard some interesting Jim C./Ben Hennon stuff, haha.

Anyways, as I mentioned, I was in Leeds for the Charles Prow "King For A Day" jam. Good times were had, and I think it was a great tribute to Charles. I put up some 'proper' words on the subject (and some photos) up here.

The day before, I ate a piece of fish that was as long as my forearm. All fish, right the way up the batter. Bangin'! I know, I know, I put it on my blog too, but it's a remarkable piece of food!



On the same weekend, P5 re-assessed whether Brighton Was Ready and held another jam. Ollie from Streetphire put this little edit together of the day.



In other news...

J.J. Palmere is back on Premium and back on your screens:



And finally, another video, courtesy of Madera, who took a trip to Memphis.

EDIT: Forgot to mention as well - I said a few days ago about Fly having proto plastic pedals - well, they do, as well as a new type of stem with a different way of clamping your forks, and some other little trinkets too, including a weird new rear hub that everyone kinda knows about anyway. Super precise info there, revel in it...
