Always trying to get better at video production, here is the latest short clip experimenting with widescreen (also Matt's out takes which is just a funny messy video).

OH SNAP!

Three reasons for me post this video;

Southwater is near Horsham, and this ramp looks wicked, I think we should go.

The Riding is really good.

Anyone who's been to Horsham will know that the last trick is a literal fucking outrage. When I watched it, it made my eyes chunder.

Going on a trip soon? Course ya are! Gonna need some tshirts right?
Carve's a little broke at the moment so can't afford to get any new 'uns printed, but you can get your mitts on some LifeCycle stuff.

LifeCycle is Kev Garwood's (Profile UK) clothing line.
Tees £15, Hoods £30 inc p+p

Message Sam@Influx to get hold of LifeCycle gear

I've seen the skull and bike one in person and they're really good quality.

Just looked at all thos spots, im even more excited now. Work got back to me the other day about the holiday i put in, 'No we cant authorise it' fuck'em im not missing this trip. If i have to find a new job when i get home so be it.

My dads cool with taking all the bikes in the van so on the saturday before if u could all get your boxes to my house that would be ace.

Nick, Jason, Cam, Perry, Robin, Ben. What a fucking Team. Well done boys, this is going to be utterly epic.

Notable absences include Neil and Tom, but let's just show them what they missed in the excellent video that will doubtless follow.

(I may have just got in from the lash in Soho, but I'm so exited about this trip.)

For cheapest flights:
  • Remove hold luggage (-£7.98)
  • Remove insurance (-£11)
  • Add sports equip bike (+£30)

The only Berlin airport SleazyJet fly to is Berlin Schoenefeld then its trains to Mellow (that's how we did it last time too).

Earlier flight is best so you don't lose the first day travelling.
Then later flight on the way back for same reason.

Luton is LOADS cheaper than Gatwick.
  • £68 no hold luggage, no insurance and 1 bike from Luton.
(Out 7.45, Return 21.55)

  • £120 no hold luggage, no insurance and 1 bike from Gatwick.
(Out 9.30, Return 18.30)

Confirmed; Nick, Ben, Robin, Jason, Tom, Cam.

That's enough to make one go weak at the knees.

Gatwick looks like the place to fly from, in terms of convenience vs cost. No idea what the best Airport in Berlin is though.

Let's have this all wrapped up by the end of the week boys.

Thank you for your inquiry. The hostel is available to book for you guys from 30th of march to 4th of april . One night costs 10,00 EUR per person. The rooms are simply furnished, you can use or kitchen, showers and toilets are located next door to the rooms. There is only one thing: please bring your own sleeping bags with you.

What do you think at what time you could arrive here at Mellowpark? Please tell me, if I can book this offer for you.

Hope to see you soon.


Sounds good to me, everyone happy with the dates? We need to know how many are going, pretty sure we have Me, Ben, Jason and Robin. Not heard anything from Neil so I guess he'll be uni-ing, could someone find out quick as possible from Tom and Cam if they're 100% in.

I want to book stuff up quick as so its cheap as possible and I can put aside money and live on toast until then.
