Swansea sucks
Nah it dosnt. As pointed out by Cannonball, AKA Lewis, it was a good day, we all had a good ride around and myself and Ben got some good footage. Here's a video of me scaring the locals.
Swansea is awesome
So a group of us decided to go and explore swansea on this bank holiday monday, Great Success.
We chanced it to go and find Clyne trails, and after a random 45 minute "hike" and some help from the iPhone we found them. They were running sweet and there is a variety of lines up there. Gaz and Steve wasted no time and started busting out the moves on the larger set, while gary decided to crash into a bog. You can see a lot of hours had been put into the trails over the years and they were good fun to ride, so thanks to whoever built them.
The uni grounds seem to have a lot to offer as well but their campus security are pretty on it. We had a nose around and found some lil spots. However the skatepark is a strange one, it was crap..like real crap apart from the metal mini. We found it weird that we didnt see anyone at the trails yet this shocking park about 2 miles away was rammed. Each to their own.
Other highlights include joe finding a sweet new pair of sun glasses, some woman saying "ill sign the police up if you kill my son" or some other shit, fish and chips, bombing some random bank into a beach, chavs, steve cushion being an arsonist and myself almost throwing gary onto a fire.
Expect Miles and Ben to have edits up by yesterday.
All in all it was good to just go get lost in some random town. Pay swansea a visit, its pretty sweet.

I've had 2 emails for two seperate T.V shows looking for BMXers, first up...

The ITV1 Dating Show 'Take Me Out' are looking for a unique and diverse range of characters to appear on the show and would love to have a few bmx bikers in the mix this year!
The new series will air prime-time on ITV1, Saturday nights in early 2011. It is again being hosted by comedian Paddy McGuinness.
They are casting Guys for the new series right now, and wanted to let you know, as it may be perfect for you or your friends/colleagues. All the Contestants simply have to be single, and over 18 years old!
They ask all who are interested in taking part to complete an application form and send it back to us with a recent pic.
If you fancy applying, you should get in touch as soon as possible by emailing takemeout@talkbackthames.tv
Many thanks for your assistance with this.
Here's the application form if anyone is interested.
Also in need of BMXers are the BBC for a childrens show. It's a new CBBC series called 'live n deadly' which is being filmed over the summer holidays.
Any local riders aged 10-14 that might be available Wednesday 1st September please get in touch with me as soon as possible and I will pass your details on.
They can't make any promises yet as to who they can take, but it would be great to know what possibilities there are.
