http://www.only-apartments.com/apartments-for-rent-malaga.html

if that doesn't work it's called Málaga Home

pretty good looking apartment for 5 of us, looks pretty well located in malaga? not sure about hostel locations.

the price is roughly the same as that hostel jason linked to but this would be kinda cooler, right? we get our own apartment while we're there, so we don't have to share our room with dodgy backpackers/german rapists/hot girls. hmm

need to book this up before sunday! i'm off to change race on sunday afternoon you see.

8 Dorms are cheapest so we'll get one of those although Malaga is not at all cheap for hostels its like 13 quid a night, and thats the cheapest. I think 5 nights in a hostel is gonna be around 80 quid each.

We need numbers on whos going.

So Far:
Nick
Jason
Robin
Ben
Perry (Most likely)

Anyone else???
Neil
Cam
Terry
Chill

Malaga:

Sun 28th Sept Luton at 5.40am (arrive 9.30)
Fri 03rd Oct Malaga at 23.55 (arrive 1.45am sat)

plus bikes 89.76

6 days of riding. does mean booking 5 days off work but psh.

i like.

A lot of people i've been speaking to say Malaga over Madrid for stuff to ride. Schools start in September don't they so it'll start getting cheap again right? End of September sees more chance of rain on plain in Spain.

Beringer is awesome. Tony Cardonna is crazy. Dean Hearne, Stu Johnson and James Cox have the best jobs in the world. Randy Brown (unfortunate name) has an aweome section on 2X4. Van Homans ender is ridiculous.

Malaga. Ruben's from there and it sounds better too. I think the Voices crew went there as well as Barca for Tomorrow We Work filming.

looking at flights for madrid

dates that could suit me, i'll found out if i can get them off at work...

all nighter in luton thursday 24th september, then fly at 6:45am on friday get to madrid at 10:15am
fly back wednesday 1st october at 10:50am.

that's 5 days of riding.

the fare is £83.77 at the moment. hmm?

Perry learnt Bars on flatbanks last week


Perry - Bars from Jason on Vimeo.

After having our Premier saturday night of Das Berlin Projekt Robin was uber stoked and got some cranks off Terry so he could ride. I gotta add that the video was well worth the wait and is fucking brilliant, i havent been able to stop watching it.
We then decided to visit longhill for the first time in about 18 months and had a nice but very hot simple session yesterday, and yes we got footage of what went down.

me doing a fun transfer 3.

Bored at work. I made this today.

And empire of dirt looks shitting awesome.

BEERS FOR CHEERS

There are some good write-ups and pictures on Dunk's site and Kris's site. Dunk's Blog also has a little video, and there are some ridiculous pictures from Chertsey on Dunk's deviantart. Doyle, Yeagle, Reynolds, sweet.

Yeah, it's a slow day at work today! Thoroughly looking forward to Ziggy's party tonight and then making a massively hungover debut for Larkhall cricket club tomorrow.

Much love,

Ben

Welcome to Fleetscene Terry!

I think I first met Terry back in year 7 - he was boosting off curbs round the back of Court Moor whilst I was doing my cycling proficiency. I was amazed

Jason and Terry shredded Fboro yesterday. Both came close to wallride and back in on the mini-mini, and their pegs experienced life on the backrail.

Next the sub-box experienced some delightful stunts

Not such a good day for me. I ate shit on a wallride and back in (carved it too much and fell off the end of the qp). The ground is hard. I am a grumpy old man at the skatepark. Dirt or surf please....

Ah screw it, it was going to be a surprise but people are asking about it. Video was finished last Friday, all the covers printed and made on Sunday. Since then the post office has been shut when i leave for work and after so I'll probably shove a load of stamps on it and put it in a post box instead.

Someone in Fleet will get 4 copies for Jason, Robin, Cam and Perry. If you could give em out that'd be great.

42 and a half hour weeks suck.

im selling my bike and getting one of these street skillz on 2 wheels

13 July, 2008

Went to corby last thursday, rad times + shit times.

Cam and I looked at houses in northampton on the way due him gtting a cool job up there, so that should cool for the futue. Also some talk of a mini ramp in the garden :D

So we got to corby and cam decided to hurt him self again on his second run of the day injuring his shoulder, kinda put a downer on the whole day cos we had 5 hours of riding still to do but cam was a star and was cool to stay.

New street course was amazing.

Looking forward to the berlin vid nick.

Jason Out.

12 July, 2008

Where's that? Oh yes, Berlin. We went there once.


I finished the intro today which was an absolute killer of a task, I then shoved together a rough first edit of the complete video and I'm excited! And excited for you guys to see as I'm pretty sure (and hope) you'll really like how its come out.

Left to do is; 1 more extra section, a bit of audio and colour cleaning up and then the DVD authoring (which can be a pain in the Enns).

I have next week off before my job(!) starts so I'll be working on it then as well as having one last chance to go around places where I actually want to work and try and get hired by them instead.

The video clocks in at just under 10minutes without extras and creates a good mood like the trip. Shame we didn't get all the crashes...

11 July, 2008

this is fucking lame:


yateley has some pretty slippy roads.



this is also fucking lame:


first downstroke out of my drive and it just broke off.

GREAT.

The first video (jurrasic park) made by the legendary Exeter Uni bmxers is now up on the YEAH ROY! facebook group, in two parts. It's a really cool video, I have a couple of grotty tricks in there as well.

Ben

I'm feeling a little bit Spanish

Malaga sounds fun. Lets go there.

Who wants to go?
What kind of time suits people?
I reckon if its only for a week then we get as much of the 7 days as we can.
Guessing it'd be a lot of looking for spots rather than having them all laid out for you.
Bmx, sun (hopefully) and 1Euro cartons of Sangria!




(Sainsbury's Basics Rose Spanish Table Wine only 2.99 - excellent)

In other news, living in Bath and working for Dickies is really, really awesome.

04 July, 2008

Trowbridge skatepark looks sick, i reckon this place is a place we could hit up on the way to see the Squishi Boys and ben. There is a jam on the 13th think i might go.
