Probably seen but there's a Kurtis Elwell video on the Lotek site; in which he does a brakeless tyre slide on the inside of a planter then 180s over a hedge - yeeeeah boooi!


Since I can't make it to Corby sesh on Friday, boooo, I'm gona go get some big ol' bars instead!

(Should anyone want to buy my Attilas cheap theyre 7.8" high and 25 wide I believe)

UK Stand Up!

Good video magazine from around 3 years ago, lots of northern riders!

The Attila trip to Berlin was at the same time we were out there too, so there's Mellow Park trails footage in their for Neil to reminisce about.

(Leo don't bother watching this you won't like it)

Nick and Neil went to Bones. Or is it Stockport? Hang on isn't it UKSkate now?

A while ago Neil used Myspaz to contact Nick to see if he wanted to go riding. Nick usually ignores anyone that isn't a hot 16 year old girl on Myspace, but this was about bmx so he made an exception.

Nick said yes as he likes bmx and Neil clearly needed to be reminded that bmx is as good as surfing (or even a billion times better).

Nick sat on a train while Neil was at uni. Nick got off at Stockport and asked lots of people where the park was. He got an answer in the end and found the park, Neil phoned Nick and said "I'm done at uni, I'll be 20 minutes".

Nick rode by himself for the next 45 minutes until Neil decided he was fashionable and late enough to show up (I'll let him off though because he gave me 10p AND a can of beer!).

Then they did ride!

Neil travelled across the English Channel.

Nick did a turndoon on a box.

Neil got cross with his bars in the air, and Nick fucked up most of the photos of them - sorry.



Then they took many photos very fast and called them 'movie clips'. Nick did a gay little uprail but wasn't street enough to turn around in the tight space to go back down it. Nick decided sliding around was more fun than pulling tricks. Then he did the wallride proper. Then he scared himself, but it was worth it 'cause pegs sound cool.

They left the park to check out a bank Neil had seen. Neil liked the bank more than the park because there weren't about 10 wankers with wheels stuck on their shoes stepping into grinds.

Neil did a 180 out the bank to fakie around and pivot back in which was rad! He also did a foot endo on the tiny deck at the top and some tuck 180's that were high!

Neil's foot got stuck which made the back of his bike rise precariously.

Chase De Hart eat your De Heart out.

Hahahaha! Classic!

Chinese (food, not people) was eaten as was fish and chips. Neil dropped Nick off at the station (thank you), and Nick sat on the train again.


Now I must sleep as we're rolling around Sheffield tomorrow :)

This video reminds me of the old sprung videos. A kind of perfect notion of riding going on about it. Nice little tune as well.

Nasty still rules.
I'm also glad to see Ruel Ericsson still doing those revolting yet impressive decades as well. They were definately on sprung, which means He's probably done them for a decade.

i took some rubbish pictures on a sunday using my big pentacon six medium format camera with massive fisheye lens. this camera is rad but it only syncs up with flash at 1/30th sec, which is kinda lame. so this was the first time i've shot during the day with it... and the sync speed is just too slow. ghosted and blurred. the ones of jason would've been cool if i'd managed to get him in focus... lame sunday.

So today i started thinking about Trails.

Went to farnborough and on the way back stopped off at southwood trails

Then found out theres alot of working being done to the woods

Spoke to a bloke who use to ride trails and bmx

He then began to talk about letting us use a digger for the day to get them up and running and HUGE.

So this is all happening on the 2nd Feb :D Happy or what!?


Big roll in?

Big Jumps?

Dirt Quarters?

Dirt Volcano?

2 Lines?

What we thinking boys??

Oh and i actually thought about starting the trails towards the top right of the area where the marsh area starts and go diagonally, slightly slopped and alot longer in lenght to fit way more.

Demo Reel


DemoReel - Nick Armstrong from carvebmx on Vimeo.

Once again Vimeo decided to arse rape the music track timing so it doesn't fit with some of the graphics.

Oh and if you're in the mood for more bmx videos you simply MUST head over to Charlie's BlackBmx Vimeo page. The lad has so much talent at filming and editing.



PS. our video is gona look damn good too. fact.

This rail is icepickable, maybe both peggers if youre into nose diving. (April 07 fleetscene archives)

Looking at a lot of old fleetscene stuff and im becoming pretty sure that i want to move back to fleet this summer. its all about our little group of riders driving some place, getting photos, clocking footage, sun and good times.

Im there!


Zerad's frame is on GayBay

Look! Here it is!

Dunno if this has been on the ComeUp because I don't check it as its full of jank videos with the same riding.

Nonstop videos, the free full webvid(?) out end of Jan


I weighed my bike yesterday on Will's super amazing scales of truth and its 28.4lbs, I think that counts as heavy these days which is ridiculous because its pretty much perfect.

(oh yeah and should you be interested Ben, Ze's selling his Mutiny Nocternal 21.5" frame prototype. It doesn't have the gay downtube that the rest have and I believe its bang on 5lbs.)
