Casual Friday . . .

Its pouring with rain here, so no riding pictures today I'm afraid. In the meantime we've done a couple of cheeky tweaks to the site & a new product feature so see if you can spot those.



There's also a new clip of Kym here from the upcoming web edit of the Macneil guys' visit, so stay tuned for the full video when it drops!

Kym Grosser Bike Check . . . . .

We've had a couple of bad days here weather-wise - hence the lack of decent updates. But we've used this downtime to bring you the low down on Kym's ride. So head on over to the main site to check it out.



Also, click here for a new video clip.

Back to Australia...

The riders have been resting up over the last few days. Niki's wrist has kept him out, Nate was adjusting to British time and Kym's leg finally put a stop to his filming. We all indulged in some partying and had a couple of good nights out making sure Kym enjoyed his last few days here in Brighton. We drove Kym to the airport today and said our goodbyes as he made his way back to sunny Australia. We were sad to see him go and the apartment sure doesn't feel the same now. Kym certainly left his mark on Brighton, we'll miss ya buddy! A big thanks to Kym and Macneil for everything and making his stay possible. Watch this space for the video evidence.

Tuesday's Tweakers...

The Level seems to be the popular warm spot and today was no different. Niki woke himself up with a fuf on one of the biggest back rails and then whipped the pool gap just to make sure. Seeing as it's half term there were hundreds of little kids running about and trying to get themselves hit by us so we soon packed up. But before that Robin managed to entertain us with some tea spillage. Kym took the skin off his palms trying to double tyre a rail, so that took him out for the rest of the day. Brighton seems to have a lot of tweakers roaming about and we tend to bump into some everyday. An old man in a wheelchair shared a few stories with us as we rode another street spot and we then set off towards the seafront to watch another glorious sunset. Nate Moroshan has joined us for the next few days so there should be more treats around the corner.

School's Out...

Half term week always means lots of school riding, and this week should be no exception. The locals Ian, Stan, Mike and Bowl were kind enough to show us about and we got to ride some sweet spots. Kym did a bary down a thirteen stepper after persuading a teacher that he was an ex student there! We ended up on the seafront as normal and joined the seagulls for yet more fish 'n' chips and carried on riding until dark where we battled the pedestrians for some night footage. Seventies number cruncher Ant is joining us tonight along with Mutiny's latest pro rider Niki Croft, so tomorrow should be full of riding.

Baltic...

The recent weather has definitely been a tease as the temperature dropped heavily today. We cruised around and shot some photos with Kym on his usual form and continuing on his footage mission and Bas throwing down a few moves too. Everyone's feeling the colds bite so we're gonna take it easy tonight and see what tomorrow brings.

An Early Taste Of Summer...

Riding around in t-shirts during February is not exactly normal, this has to have been the best day of the year so far. Brighton was rammed full of people, all smiling. It's amazing what can happen when you add sunshine to peoples lives. Again we started at the Level and got those muscles working. Kym showed us how to do tailwhip nosepicks and Bas took his hands off in a fakie, a good start. We cruised through the lanes and landed on the beach, right in front of the old pier, where we rode a sweet kicker until sunset. We watched the birds do their daily synchronized flying routines around the pier and then left for home. What a splendid day.

Anyone For A Free Haircut...

Kym felt like he needed a trim on Monday, so he visited the local barbers for a shave and ended up with a free haircut. The barber was a little sketchy and gave him a grade 0 in the middle of his head! Bas and Kym warmed up at the level today and got a few park clips before heading up the steep hills of Brighton. We stayed up there until the sunset and then headed back for a round of Wii golf.
