Yeah Dawg. Shakespeare's so G right now.

Riding my 70's British racing green Dawes Galaxy in the pitch black down country roads with lighting so poor the moonlight exceeds it. Listening to Bright eyes. Great.

You can trust a mutiny BMX web edit to unhinge some gems. Have a listen.

I wonder what the massive percentage of our brains that we don't use was meant for if everything has a purpose. Maybe it lays dormant, or works in ways our stone age medical research can't understand yet. Maybe we do have a sixth sense, and a seven, eighth maybe. That have just been on stand by. Power on.

On SUCH a high at the moment. my brain child idea has had its first outing on the world wide web and been greeted with nothing but excitement and praise. Every time i refresh a page more people 'like' it or comment showing there excitement. In fact. I'm worried something majorly bad is going to happen, all these good feelings will come at a price surly. Karma? Reserved.

I've been enjoying time with friends recently, catching up and sharing stories, comparisons, ideas, and similar thoughts, epiphany's, aspirations. So on. Its fun.

Baltic.
Weekend.

I like that word. Baltic.

I got spotify, wow, why haven't i downloaded this before, or earlier. Pretty impressed!

I'm inspired, Very much so. I purchased issue 2 of the 'bone shaker' magazine from the HOWIES shop (possibly the best shop ever created,) Some amazing stories of epic adventures on 2 wheels. I want to go away on an adventure. I'm already planning weekend excursions.

But of course, you are never alone. Infact i made 3 very dear friends during my trip. They were front wheel, back wheel and chain. We worked as a team each with a different personality. I felt closest to front wheel he tended to be a bit fickle: turning this way and that never able to make up his mind, but brave and fearless prepared to strike out ahead of the others. Now chain she was always cheerful and low maintenance. Chattering away but also with her ups and downs. In some ways she was the driving force behind the whole team, all she needed was a wipe down and a spot of oil every known again.  But perhaps the most neglected was back wheel. He was stocial, a strong and silent type, bearing a heavy load without any complaint. On many occasions i thaught ti should have paid him more attention, but he was difficult to reach. - http://www.boneshakermag.com/

This is so perfect. One of those.

First time ever using free wi-fi and first time ever on the iPod, maybe I'm easily pleased and this novelty wears off. Maybe there was no need to google blogspot and spend 12mins off the 15mins free wi-fi trying to type this post. Fail.

Okay.

My 200th post.

Bored yet?

I'm becoming a compulsive. I enjoy hurting myself until i feel a lung being coughed up, until my legs can't support my body weight, until i have to slide my hands off my handlebars because i cant bend my fingers, until my vision fades due to lack of blood to the head. It feels good.

I think i have biked just over 200 miles in the past few days. 50 more today to pick up a tyre. I didn't need too.

Anyway.

Agyness Deyn and vintage bikes. Absolutely


This man. This man. Ruben Alcantara. He does his job, he does it well. Words cant express. You must take 4 mins out. Okay. Go.

Havent been thinking enough nor inspired enough to write a blog for some reason.

My first film came back yesterday, love some of the results. I was weary, I'm usually too much of a perfectionist to let discrepancies pass. But its the imperfections that make the photos. Have a LOOK

My bike project (below) has taken a turn, I've swapped the frame for a similar model which is a lot bigger, big enough for my lanky proportions.

I'm getting my first 35mm film developed this week, looking forward to seeing the results. Not expecting anything worth sharing. We shall see.

Red Bull rampage was good. Not amazing, kind of an anti climax, the live web feed didn't work to good. Never mind.
