mooose yak

The new bjork video for wanderlust. Its been made in 3d so the 2d youtube version isnt gonna give it away but the jist is there. Emo mirror in the rucksack getting siamese contortionist while surfing down a wool river on a big yak thing. Yes

A new stereogram tribute to Bjork's Post is up for free download. Its basically a remix and redo album.
New portishead tune and vid. Sounds familiar.

Coast to Coast















Its coming but its been put off twice already. My old knee wouldnt be able to handle the strain from my wonky freewheeling stance habit, contracted from Ruben in the intro montage of roadfools europe. So it was a good excuse for me to coerce my brother into helping me make a trailer for my mtb. We're getting fairly tech with the design and i'm getting cowboy with the construction since ive never welded before, but they're almost done now. Looks like the trip is gonna happen in the last week of May now,starting in liverpool, then manchester, leeds, finishing in hull, and taking in every where else inbetween, straight over the Pennines. If anyone wants to hook up with us along the way or has any suggestions for gems we should visit. Get in touch. This trip is Mark Westlake's baby, so whoever was thinking they wanted in on it we still need to synchronize calenders to make sure everyone is good to go. But the initial line up was Mark, little Smithy, Teddy, Jason Phelan (but Mark said he thought we were joking), Ted (my bro), and myself. But i think Vince Mayne was interested, and Mike said he'd book the time off work when we talked about it the other day so... Chris from Hotwheels said he'd be able to help us out with hotels which sounded a bit extravagant to me but you know what townies are like and it'll be more than welcome to have a solid base camp.
Ive just spent a fairly grueling week on a fixed gear bike in paris, (more on that later) but i'm really looking forward to this trip already. Just gotta put the finishing touches to the trailers, test em a bit, round up the troops, and hope that we can get our bikes n trailers on the train up to Liverpool and back from hull.

Too many bikes

Stumpjumper


My brother Ted builds wheels. Lots of em, and plenty of weird patterns too. Here's his 48hole front wheel with a 4 twist and some raidial ones in there, i dunno but if you want something fancy or just a strong wheel of any size, make contact.

He won an event put on by the Trixie Chix called pisumo which is kinda like sumo wrestling on bikes. This was his prize!. An amazing poster with the girls posing fixing a puncture. Laminated and displayed in the fictional FGL shower.

I've been on a medical trial.

Having two bikes can be hassle

I need a trailer

I bought a steel frame so its strong enough to handle the weight of the trailer without breaking.
Is'nt that bike pretty.

More on the trailer and what i'm gonna be using it for soon.

Dieing Legend and legandary death

I remembered reading this article in dig a while back, before id ever bought a copy or even a bmx i think. The photo of this frisco fro'd guy in proper table position at a full 90 higher than id seen anybody else bunny hopping a bike obviously some time ago lured me in. The story is amazing rounded off with the most legendary death. Hes been my hero ever since, but now obvously being found dead sucking my own dick would just be pathetic and just sad cos id be emulating a great man. It'll probably draw less attention trying vanderolls and wearing neon so i'll honour him that way instead. Try it i dare you.

Read all about him and the curbdogs ere.

Acouple or random shots, one from about 2002ish maybe earlier me doing a turndown through a massive tuba..long story. My shrine to er er errrrrroblivion.
