from my vantage point on the rooftops of the City I'm watching it move very slowly - but trust me dudes right over Spitz that mother is ominous as the plague..

That slam is your slam, this slam is my slam, from the West End of London, to the TrixieDix stylin'...

I'm on hols in about 10 minutes. Rhymes with "bite me" :-)

You gonna make it tonight?

rained for a second out east, but it's clearing up. HTFU - and that's aimed at me, who just sitting down with iplayer to watch the cycling from earlier. Again.

well that was a really nice night - shame about the weather (a-fookin-gain..) but we all had a proper nice time and headed for the next level when it started tipping down..

nice for Object to drop by and basically give a few of us a push in the right direction to get the skip stops sorted out!! Easy peasy! At least one of my white zaffiros will have to get used to the fact it ain't going to be around for long.....

Great to meet some new faces - sorry about not extending it to a few drinks, one of those things, plenty of Tuedays left. But the practice was great!! Thanks everyone, see you soon I hope.

ps Props to Helen for showing Sano a bit of rain don't mean no harm to us Midlanders...

+1 that was an ace night, lovely to meet everyone again (and anew).

I was a bit dubious about the low ceiling of the floor below, but after seeing people a fair bit taller than me trying wheelies down there I soon calmed down. Top marks to Minh ai for the supergirl tricks, and thanks for the skip stop tips Object. It was like attending an evening class at parts, but with more beer.

see you all soon

One level down under the pouring rain gets to be quite a rush - you're doing tricks and you're trying not to smash your head on the roof. Cool....

More than welcome guys, next week I'll bring a sensible trick bike rather than the affinity (unless I end up playing polo instead).

Blink and you'll miss them! Heh heh heh. Still at -1 on the skills scale but that's not a reflection of the tuition available.

i'll come do a few skids too I reckon. the surface really is like sandpaper though, not recommended if you're riding some over priced grandcompe white tyres on your rear!
