February Edit.
Here is what non of you have been waiting for, this month (well last months) edit. Mostly filmed on a damp Saturday on a little tour in land as we tried to avoid the snow once again. This time we have an extended cast and locations even going as far as the tropical paradise that is Leeds on the last possible day of filming. This time I managed to get enough footage to fulfill my 3 minute goal even though the quality is shit as always and we even have some phone footage in there to but that's what WeRideKidsBikes is all about, shady as fook. Hope you like it, see you on Friday for the first of March’s photo even though it was taken in February. Anyway enjoy.

Sunday in Leeds.
Happy March to you all. Since I failed to get a photo on Friday due to a flatty and sick weather I though I'd do a little trip report for you from Sundays drive to Leeds.
After a few texts of Mr Skippsy during the week the plan had been hatched to hit up the Works on Sunday since the big man had to pick up a piece for his other love his 205 rally car. ( Some say he loves it more that his bike and judging on his riding and moaning on this day I think I believe them.) Due to our little de-tour we had to drive though a previously un-explored part of Leeds by us and by the looks of things the last 10 years, we managed to spot a little skate park in the distance and since the snow that the weather man had predicted had not started to fall we decided to check it out. As we pulled into the car park we seen that right next to the park was a massive BMX race track with a start gate and everything.



After one lap of the track we decided we were defiantly not fit enough for this racing shit and headed over to the park. Apart from having the biggest and mellowest 1/4 I have ever seen the park offered nothing but massive coping and moldy ramps. Round the edge of the park however were little banks to curvy benches that worked rather well as a sub box, which was nice.

We decided to leave the park as to not push our luck with the weather and possibly get to ride Hyde Park before the rain came. After getting to the rapest hang out that is Hyde park it was still dry and looking promising to my wallet. We bumped into Wood's doppelganger has his mate Bob Scerbo and had a rather good shred bar the constant winging from Mick about he has can't ride and wanted to go home but since it was still dry I wanted to hit up some of Leeds street but after riding the elusive flat bank at the uni my street ideas were over ruled and it was beer o'clock and time for a burger and a pint.
After a trip the best boat based pub since the Tuxedo Royal it was time to head home.


Well wasn't that the worst and half arsed trip report you have ever read. We'll that just how the trip was, slack and unplanned. The BMX way.
Tomorrow.............. EDIT.

That Friday Feeling.
Well what do you know more snow! Will this shit never end? Well it did a bit today actually but still. Finlay got a new wheel sorted this week so stunts are back on the agenda. Had a little trip to Seaburn this after noon to get some photos and some footage with Winn Dog. Was very pleasantly surprised to find the place fully dry which was nice so thought I would get a bit footage since I have a week left and not a sausage. But the day had to have some kick in the teeth which came in the form of a flat battery. Anyway tomorrow is my birthday and we are going to go on a little tour around some of the less ridden spots to try and gather some stuff for February's edit. On another note there is a nice new picture at the top of the page done by a very fine designer down in that there London [http://www.rosieupright.blogspot.com] which I am stoked on. She has done a few more for me which will be going up at a later date if all things go as planned. Also gonna get some sticker knocked up soon to. Thank you allot rosie, much appreciated. x
Anyway here is today's photo, me with a fakie up the bank to Barry Chuckle, don't even know how I have ended up at the angle I'm at but it was to cold so it had to do.

Enjoy, see you next week.

First February Friday Photo.
And guess what it's going to be a double bill. First off will be a new member to WeRideKidsBikes Mr Tall him self Peter Greaves. After a long drive back from London I had a cup or two of tea and get back in the rig for a trip to 5 bridges where we rendezvous with said Tall fellow. Was nice to see the lad was using his head and has some lovely fairy lights on his bike to keep his long body save. After a few laps of the course my driver decided to spew up all its bearings and grind to a halt, so that's me out of action till pay day and I get a new wheel. Bummer. Still managed to get this snap of ex pro basketball star Greaves doing what he does best, unfortunately my photo was having the best of times in the dark of the shadows.

And now for round two. As I said I felt bad for not putting a photo up last week so hear is a treat for you all. The Lad back from his winter vacation in the bar's braved the sub-zero temperatures and the pissing down rain for this gem. Putting on a show for the Internet in his natural habitat the sake park Billy Lad pops the smith to nozza like he was fresh out the kitchen.


See y'all next week. Might have some footage by then I hope not long till the edit! Oh shit.

Tuesday Catch up and a Melon 3 DVD Review.
Well as you were told and can see there was no Friday Photo but do not worry you will have two, oh that's right two photos this week. The lack of photo was due to be having important business to attend to in foreign lands.
However I did return to a marvelous DVD know as Melon 3 from the fine young gentlemen over at http://melonthree.blogspot.com/ the only blog on the internet worth looking at so I though I would do a little DVD review for them so here it goes.

Is Melon 3 good?
Yes.
Does it make you want to go out and ride?
Yes.
Was it worth the money?
Yes.
Can I come round and watch since the post has been taken off the blog so it looks like they have no more copys and so I can't get one for myself?
Yes.

The month it snowed.
Well just as the weekend rocked up guess who popped up to say hello, our old friend Frosty! Just as things started to look up and I might get a weekends worth of riding and filming right at the end of the month everywhere turns white again. And so this months edit, the first edit is abit lacking in stunts however I did find a very apt song and although it doesn't go very well I just had to use it. I shall be away this weekend so there might not be a Friday photo and if there is I will be suprised if it's BMX related however I will try my hardest to get one up if my phone will let me on Saturday.
Anyway enjoy a slightly shorter than expected video from January's BMX.
