Sup Everyone,
Had an awesome weekend started off on Friday up early with James Big Hair headed down to Bournemouth for a day riding demo's on the Animal Relentless Bike Tour. the weather was a bit dodgy, crazy windy but the rain held off. was a super fun day riding with my bro and Martin Ashton.
Saturday James and were up early again and off to Wisley for the final round of the King of Dirt. It had been moved from Sunday to Saturday because the weather forecast was crappy. took us 4 hours because of hectic traffic but finally made it and the trails looked so sick , I had not been there in ages and there had been a few changes to the jam line with new hips and different lines looked amazing and i could not wait to shred. Riders started turning up and the session was going off and before we new it the Open comp started all the riders were killing it the standard has most definitely got higher with tail whips and flips becoming the norm. Tom Ren and Craig Potter were the ones that stood out with such a massive bag of tricks.
Pro comp started and it was 3 runs on the jam line and 3 on the pro line. i was a little nervous as always but soon chilled out once i got my first run out the way. good to see Rob Newman shredding its been a long time since i have seen crank flip to xup. got all the runs done on the jam line then moved onto the pro line and with only the last 2 jumps being scored you had a lot of time to think about you run while getting to the last ones had some good runs best was a flip table to downside whip. Highlight of the day was seeing Sam Ren pull a front flip over the small take off to flat.
Sam took the win with me in second and Adam Williams in 3rd.
Prize giving and in the Open Tom Ren took the overall KOD with Craig Potter in 2nd and in Pro it was Daryl Brown taking 3rd overall with Clinton Johns in 2nd and Me taking the overall win was a sweet moment for me so stoked.
Amazing weekend and thanks to DMR for the support you guys are awesome.
PEACE!

Dirt Wars, Southwest Extreme
Yo,
Just got back from an epic weekend. My mate Mervyn and i headed up to Southwest Extreme in Devon for Dirt Wars. arrived there on Saturday after being stuck in traffic most of the day. we were supposed to have the comp that day but the wind was blowing a gale and we called it off till Sunday morning. had a good night with a few incidents with fire works and deodorant cans in the fire pit.
Sunday morning we had the comp first thing because of the wind. Open comp went well everyone rode well and put on a good show.
Pro comp started at 11 and the wind had started to pick up but we managed to get it done. took a while to get used to the jumps and they were a lot better than last year.
It was 5 runs 3 count, all the riders were riding well even in the wind. Got my first run down. Daryl, Nangle and Ash all did sweet runs which put the pressure back on.
the rest of my runs came together and i managed to take the win with Ryan Nangle in second and Daryl Brown in third.
Spent the rest of the day in Newquay had an amazing night out partying, swam in the sea and then headed home monday morning.
Looking forward to Wisley this weekend should be sick.

Camp Bestival
Hi All,
Sorry its been so long, My bad.
This last weekend i had the opportunity to go ride a demo at Camp Bestival in Devon by EZO and King of Dirt who organised it. it was awesome free music festival and 1 demo a day so plenty of chill out time. got a lift with Chopper down there and met up with a few other riders to many to mention.
The Ramp set up looked sick was not just MTB there were mountain boarders and bladders some free running guys, Skaters and a climbing wall. did some of the activities and helped out with the have ago guys. Was super relaxed and the music was sweet it was a very family orientated festival which was cool.
Had a few crazy nights in the Bollywood tent with everyone and slept on the climbing mats every night which were amazingly comfortable. There are a few Pictures around. check out the news page on the DMR website there is some pics and a write up by Simon which is sweet.
Thanks to everyone who set up the ramps Andy, Badge, James Iaouuunnnoo, Alex and the rest of the crew.
Awesome weekend and can't wait for the next one.
Peace!
