For me, Braintree was the best national so far this year. It had atmosphere, gooooood racing & sunshine :] I even took a few pictures which are posted to the right. they're saturday elite & jr practice, and some sunday racing.

Birthday weekend at Haaksbergen Euros next weeked - excitedddd.

2011-06-25T21:43:00.001+01:00

2011-06-19T20:38:00.001+01:00

Darryn Goodwin double jr men winner at Birmingham Euro rds this weekend.

I didnt take many photos but there's 2 albums of the ones I did take. i'm quite out of practice.

2011-05-02T13:37:00.002+01:00

Polaroids from Peterborough

2011-05-01T22:07:00.002+01:00

The photos form Peterborough are up now :] only photos from today as I wanted to watch some racing this weekend.

First two nationals we definately ace, fast & sunny ones - i've got the tomato coloured face to prove it :]

2011-04-25T16:36:00.002+01:00

the photos from a very very very hot euro race weekend in France are now up.

twas another good weekend with ace racing & lots of sunburn :] good times.

2011-04-17T21:04:00.003+01:00

Summer is hereeee :] well it definately felt like it at leeds summer regional today. Today was a looong but good day.

the photos are up now!

(does anyone still look on here? would it better to just put the photos in a facebook album?)

2011-04-04T15:23:00.004+01:00

i'm back from another ace weekend of bmx, this time in Zolder for the first 2 european rounds. twas a very good weekend, even with the thunderstorm & sunday rain.

All the photos are up now. euro rounds are ace - especially when they're as sunny as Saturday was.

If you want any photos please email me (instead of stealing them) as the album sucks any quality out of them and makes them look badddd. i'd rather you had the proper versions :]

2011-03-29T10:17:00.006+01:00

It's been so long since i've posted anything on here, I totally forgot to put anything about my trip to Copenhagen a couple of weeks ago.

sooo, i've posted a link to the facebook album of photos (you need to log in to see though unfortunately)
and here is a video of the weekend MB181 put together.

this trip was really ace :] i don't think i've ever laughed so much.
hopefully there's going to be something on it in the next issue of 2024 so support them & buy a copy!

This weekend i'm off to Zolder, Belgium for the first Euro rounds of the season, so i'll have more stuff to update with next week. i'm pretty excited already :]
this summer is a good one for lots or races to attend, so hopefully i'll be back to having lots of pictures to post aswell!

2011-01-03T11:34:00.001Z

taking photos of my bike to get reacquainted with my camera. maybe this year i'll take more photos again.

2010-10-13T20:07:00.001+01:00

racing photos are up :] i can't wait for next season.

2010-10-08T19:48:00.001+01:00

frejus is ace, i love supercross. practice pictures from today are posted now :]

2010-08-30T08:55:00.001+01:00

I actually took some pictures this weekend, until i got swiped ha, so i've posted a little album of them, seen as i've not posted anything for agessss!

no more nationals :[ i'm quite looking forward to the brits though :]

2010-07-25T20:15:00.001+01:00

it's been rather a long time since i posted anything, mainly due to having a broken camera [but it's fixed now], so i thought i'd post some heaton park themed pictures. i love heaton park in the summer :]

2010-06-20T21:15:00.004+01:00

I like manchester bmx club, and regionals in the sunshine - even if it does result in ridiculous burn lines.

anyway, the photos are posted now. there's not too many as i'm having a bit of camera trouble at the minute. 2 years of dust seems to be taking its toll. i need to get it fixed realllyyy soon!

prints are still available by the way. see underneath contact list for details.

2010-06-15T18:59:00.002+01:00

there's no racing photos from Braintree, I seem to have lost my picture taking head.

instead here's a polaroid of the big bmx guys vw splitty :]

2010-06-07T10:21:00.003+01:00

I love euro racing, especially when it's crazy hott!

Valkenswaard was ace :] and the photos are up now.

2010-05-16T21:12:00.002+01:00

Joey Bradford at Derby nationals this weekend. 'twas rather a good weekend. i got a sunburnt face and everything. not keen on the twelve tonnes of dust currently taking over my hair though. urgh at the wind.

anywayyy, albums are posted :]

2010-05-14T13:55:00.002+01:00

I saw Louise & Finley today, i can't believe he's 9 months already.

2010-05-09T20:37:00.001+01:00

a few photos from today at chapel woods trails, which look ace!

2010-04-26T19:42:00.003+01:00

nationals are ace, especially when the sun is shines. there's not that many photos really, but they're up now, & all stuck in one album.

2010-04-18T20:45:00.004+01:00

I haven't taken as many pictures as I have in the last 4 days, and enjoyed it as much as I have in a crazy long time. i've posted an album of the Wilmslow photos from today. i'm gona need more album space at this rate!

2010-04-17T21:26:00.002+01:00

Today was another decent sunshine session at manchester gates. photos are up now :]

2010-04-16T18:52:00.001+01:00

Last nights Manchester Gates photos are up now! taking them was fun for once :]

2010-04-11T20:40:00.005+01:00

crewe is ace. the sun always shines, and the racing is always good, like today! :]

2010-04-05T21:05:00.003+01:00

a few photos from easter weekend at cals house. it's a shame i had to come back.

2010-03-29T22:02:00.003+01:00

madrid was ace, unlike my understanding of spanish.

i wish i could go to all the supercross rounds!

here's a picture from the top of the start hill, which doesn't really seem that scary when you're up there.

i suck and didn't take any photos of racing, so this is all i've got to post. oops!

2010-03-13T21:04:00.001Z

i haven't taken any photos in a while, hense the lack of updates. so i thought i'd post some i took today at manchester!

2010-01-31T10:22:00.002Z

I wasn't going to bother, but I decided to post my Belgium photos after all. I'm not too pleased with them - taking photos indoors is harrrddd. but people were asking where they were & i found it strange to have full albums sitting there not doing anything. so here they are.

Belgium was an ace weekend, with dead good racing :] and yummy bread.

2010-01-03T20:14:00.001Z

a few more photos of new year in edinburgh.

2010-01-01T16:33:00.000Z

happy new year from edinburgh :]

2009-12-27T22:49:00.002Z

a few pictures from an ace christmas at cals. with pressies & lots of yummyyyy food :]

snowshine

2009-12-19T20:55:00.002Z

a photo of cal riding manchesters snowy track at gates today.

coppull was colddd!

2009-12-13T17:50:00.004Z

seen as i have been neglecting posting on here, and my camera completely, for the last few weeks, i thought i'd upload some of the few photos i took at coppull winter regional today!

hopefully i'lll get to take lots of christmassy photos over the few days i actually get off work :]

2009-11-21T21:17:00.003Z

here are a few pictures from the opening of heywoods revamped track today, seen as i haven't posted anything in agesss.. we managed a whole 3 hours there without rain :]

2009-10-31T08:14:00.002Z

polaroids from my week at cals :] i'ma miss holidays at cals alot.

2009-10-22T22:53:00.000+01:00

i don't update this enough, so here is a polaroid of Louise & Finley from earlier today.

2009-10-18T10:23:00.003+01:00

it seemed to take hours but the album from yesterdays gates at Manchester is now posted! I wish jalbum didn't ruin the quality :[

get your 2008 print requests in soon before i delete the albums.

winter is here.

2009-10-11T21:49:00.003+01:00

my photos from todays winter regional, at Preston, are up. considering it was a winter regional it ended up dry[ish] and not too chilly :] if only the rest of winter was like that, brr!.

i'd still rather have been in frejus taking photos of the supercross this weekend instead, but oh welll. maybe next year.

2009-09-21T11:45:00.005+01:00

the photos from the Brits are now posted. i had an ace weekend. the brits is my favourite race of the year, especially when it's at cheddar in the sunshine :]

if you didn't manage to get a fastlane magazine this weekend, i'll be selling them at races up north so come see me or my dad to buy one :] they're worth it.

&& anyone wanting prints of anything from 2008, get your orders in soon as i'll be deleting all those albums in the near future [i know i said that ages ago, but this time i really am, as my extra album space has almost run out]

2009-09-06T21:36:00.000+01:00

cal at macclesfield play track today, before the rain came.

Bournemouth

2009-08-31T12:44:00.005+01:00

the Bournemouth photos are up. they're all in one album 'cause i didn't take many each day so seperate albums seemed pointless.

i managed to go the weekend without getting any mozi bites :] but i did bring half the track home in my hair. urghh at the wind. and big urghhhh at all the crashes, especially phils and the woman from duchy. they were horrible.

on the plus side; cals tent is ace - it managed to stay up & dry despite the crazy weather of the week, i discovered nandos is pretty good, that i'm ace at spending too much money, and i watched some ace racing!

i am ranting jibberish again.

i want to live in cornwall

2009-08-31T09:37:00.007+01:00

lots of photos from a trip down south, to see the sea and other things :]

i want to live down south in a thatched roof cottage, with a sea view & blue split screen vw camper parked out side

2009-08-16T21:10:00.003+01:00

hartlepool is one of my favourite picture taking tracks. i seem to have brought half of the track home on my camera & in my hair though which is the only downside. apart from that, i love going to hartlepool.

i can't believe this was the last summer regional, it doesn't even feel like summer's started yet. hoodies in august? hmm! anyway, the photos are up now :]

my posts seem to mostly jibberish. sorryyyyy!

2009-08-10T15:19:00.003+01:00

i didn't think i was going to get chance to, but i have managed to post all my pictures from the manchester nationals this weekend :]

it was strange to be on the organisation side of a national & it is crazy. lots & lots of hard work, and realllyyyy long days. i'm surprised i had time to actually take any photos' cause i didn't get much chance to eat or sleep. i hope everyone had a good weekend? so the effort was worth it. thanks to everyone from our club, and all the other clubs int north that helped us out. it was very very much appreciated :] i feel bad for not being there today to help clear up, but being at cals for his birthday is pretty good excuse not to be.

anddd if you didn't notice.......we got the sunshine, alllll weekend. which makes it a billion times better. i'll shut up now.

2009-08-02T20:35:00.005+01:00

the Bob Field Grands was ace, as was the well posh hotel we stayed in last night. today sunny & fast which is obviously all you need for a good days racing! i enjoyed it a lot. Crewe seem to be good at hosting good races, with sunshine. anywayyy, the photos are now up :]

everybody come to Manchester national next weekend.

also, one of my pictures made it onto bmxmania :]

2009-07-31T22:32:00.004+01:00

lots of photos, in random order, from an ace week at cals. there's more on my flickr. i got bored of trying to upload all the ones i wanted to.

2009-07-26T21:35:00.002+01:00

manchester "summer" regional was soggy, wet and a bit more soggy after that. but it wasn't bad considering the rain. it was actually quite good.

hopefully the tradition of rainy manchester races will break in time for the national so we can have a nice sunny weekend :]

anywayy, the photos are up now & that's about all i've got to say.

one more thing; everyone register for the bob field grands at crewe next weekend so i've actually got people to take photos of. yeaa!

2009-07-20T13:55:00.004+01:00

today i got a peacock feather courtesy of the peacock in heaton park, and cal's arms being able to reach it. i've wanted one for sooooo long :]

2009-07-12T21:25:00.004+01:00

seen as there wasn't any racing for us to go to today, & our intended gypo session got rained off, i thought i'd post some pictures of cal instead from camera messing about today.

it was my 21st birthday on thursday and i got some wireless flash triggers. i've got loads of ideas of photos i want to take with them, but they don't seem to want to work. the transmitter doesn't transmit and the reciever makes my flash go crazyyy and fire constantly :[

i'ma take them back to calumet i think and get some that work [i hope], and buy myself a nice new bigger camera bag while i'm at it, 'cause my dad gave me the money for that too :]. i love birthdays. i'll stop chatting rubbish now.

2009-07-07T13:04:00.005+01:00

for some reason i forgot to upload this to here when i uploaded it to my flickr, so here it is. i love taking polaroids.

i hope they still have film left in the store with the secret stash, so i can birthday treat myself to some on thursday :]

i really want to go to France & take photos of the Tour, and to Newquay to take photos of the sea.

goldcoasttt.

2009-07-05T21:37:00.003+01:00

the lytham photos are posted :] today was lonngggg, but it was good. the payback final was ace. as was the weather [with the exception of the brief chucking down we had]. i find it strange that there's only two summre regionals left, when it only just feels like summer has started.

2009-06-28T21:43:00.003+01:00

i love cheddar, especially when the sun shines :] i've posted the album of Fridays practice pictures [BMX racing 2009 albums on the right] & few from racing on Saturday will be up soon.

*update

saturdays pictures are up now.

none from sunday though, as i didn't take any.

Bradford

2009-06-21T18:43:00.004+01:00

todays photos from a sunny & dusty Bradford regional are now posted. It wasn't too bad of a regional considering there's not many people who're keen on the track.

It's Cheddar Euro next weekend & i'm excited. i love cheddar :]

also, please let me know what you think of new album layout. is it better than the old one or not? faster? slower?

leeds

2009-06-14T19:30:00.003+01:00

i like it when the sun shines, like it did at Leeds today.

the pictures are posted :]

2009-06-13T21:11:00.007+01:00

a bunch of pictures from the past few days at cals.

Dessel photos

2009-06-08T19:34:00.004+01:00

while a doctor was removing my appendix, through my belly button, in a Belgian hospital, my dad was using my press pass & cameras to take pictures of the racing in Dessel. he's uploaded some to his flickr for people to see. click here to see them.

& i've put a link to them under my 2009 racing albums so when this post disappears off the main page you can still get to them :]

Peterborough

2009-06-07T20:48:00.008+01:00

the album of yesterdays Peterborough pictures are now posted :] i could only take one photo a race cause my flash had to keep recharging [or whatever it does] so there's not too many.

yesterday was pretty good, with no rain & ace racing in the finals. today wasn't bad either. once the horrible pouring rain went away, there was more good racing. no pictures of today though-standing in the middle of the track when it's chucking it down isn't much fun.

i hope the sun re-appears for leeds regional next weekend, and that the track is good for picture taking.

email me with any print requests :]

oh and, the peterborough pictures aren't in the right order as my camera started counting from the beginning half way through the day.

2009-06-01T18:44:00.006+01:00

i've posted an album of the few Friday practice pictures i got to take in Belgium this weekend. i'm sad i missed out on taking photos of racing, i think i'd have enjoyed it. oh well, the hospital was nice at least, as was the area the track was in, and the weather apparently.

2009-05-26T09:10:00.001+01:00

Burnham pictures are up now :]

2009-05-25T09:53:00.002+01:00

a couple of pictures from Burnham rd 3 [i didn't take any on sunday]. hopefully the album will be up soon, if jalbum decides to start working and let me publish it that is.

burnham was ace. sunshine & sunburn :]

2009-05-11T13:51:00.003+01:00

Guess what.......the Crewe Regional pictures are posted, finally :] as are the Preston Regional pictures from yesterday.

prints & cards still available :]

2009-05-05T13:02:00.003+01:00

a few pictures from this weekends trips to gypo & jay alianos trails. and one of cal doing a footjam int living room 'cause it was raining outside.

2009-04-29T12:53:00.001+01:00

a picture of one of my pictures in the digital crunch section of dig issue 70 :] (the one with the red arrow next to it)

2009-04-26T21:28:00.001+01:00

todays wrexham & chester pictures are posted :]

2009-04-25T20:03:00.002+01:00

i've posted an album from todays "official" opening of Manchester track., inc. trophy presentation. the link is to the right under bmx racing photos 2009.

[i can do prints of any of these. info at the bottom of album list.]

2009-04-22T17:18:00.002+01:00

some boring pictures of some pretty flowers just for updates sake & 'cause they make me feel summery.

2009-04-20T12:27:00.006+01:00

the sun is shining again today. & it's warm enough for shorts & flipflops which makes me happy happy happyyyy :]

anywayy, to the point of the post - Crewe was the best regional i've been to in ages. it was ace. really good racing, and atmosphere and everything else, and the weather was loverlyyy. i even got a little burnt :].

* if you're here looking for the photos, they wont be up for a while yet. i've sent them to fastlane so they can choose which ones they want. when they've done that, the album of the rest will be up. keep checking, it shouldn't be long.

for now here are a few pictures i took at cals last week.

2009-04-12T21:55:00.002+01:00

i've posted an album of the very few pictures i took at derby. they're all from yesterday, as my camera didn't even leave my bag today, and mostly of practice. i can't seem to construct sentences today so i'll not bother ranting about anything else.

2009-04-09T23:03:00.003+01:00

lots of pictures from my four days at cals.

there may be a preston gates/coppull race night on it's way tomorrow when i've had chance to look at them.

2009-03-29T17:53:00.002+01:00

i'm amazed.....the sun came out to play today. it must be because regional had summer infront of it. i didn't really enjoy taking pictures so there's just a few from practice in todays album.

2009-03-28T20:07:00.003Z

an album of a few pictures from Preston gates today is now posted.

it's the first summer regional tomorrow but i bet the weather is far from summer-like. maybe it will be good enough for me to take some decent pictures for a change.

2009-03-22T20:26:00.002Z

i've finally warmed up after the windier than windy day at Derby today. i'm suprised i managaed to take any pictures at all i was that cold, but i did, and they're now posted. i really cant wait for races in the sunshine & warmth. apart from the cold wind it wasn't bad. with the exception of being told rudely [rather than asked politely] to stop using my flash, even though there were others using their more powerful ones. hmm!

prints & cards still available. email me with requests. especially of any 2008 photos as those albums are soon to be deleted to make way for 2009.

2009-03-19T13:17:00.005Z

a polaroid & a close up of cals new tattoo :] i'ma take some proper pictures of it when it's healed.

(tattoo done by juliet at studio 81 in Preston)

2009-03-16T17:30:00.003Z

a spring related polaroid as i'm a bit sunshine happy & i haven't posted anything in a while. i can't wait for summerrrrr :]

2009-03-06T16:24:00.005Z

these are some pictures of Sam Foakes, that I took last night, to go on here: flatmattersonline.blogspot.com

& are now also on the zion site.

2009-03-01T15:43:00.002Z

i can't believe it's march already, and that nationals start next month. this year is going crazzzzyyyy fast. anyway, the pictures from the club race at coppull today are now posted. i don't really have anything else to say.

email with any print requests you may have :]

2009-02-25T11:29:00.002Z

a few pictures from last night.

i want to take half face pictures of all my family.

Belgium Pictures

2009-02-20T22:13:00.009Z

yes yes yes, the Belgium pictures are now posted :] sorry about the delay, but it's better late than never, eh. & there's more that can only be seen by buying the next issue of fastlane bmx mag. maybe, just maybe, you'll be in it. mmhmm.

*email me with any print requests

[see bottom of racing album list for link to info]

2009-02-15T18:21:00.007Z

i can't wait 'till regionals have summer infront of them, rather than winter. it's toooooooooo cold for standing outside all day, but i still do it anyway, hmm! the pictures from leeds 'brr' regional today are now posted. there's not many as it was freezing in the middle of the track and i couldn't press my shutter button for shivering.

i'm hoping to be able to post the Belgium pictures in the very near future. sorry for the wait, but keep checking i'm sure they'll be up soon.

prints & cards are still available of any of the racing photos from this year & last. price list & ordering info is linked to the right at the bottom of the 2008 and 2009 racing albums.

2009-02-06T11:19:00.001Z

a picture of someone other than cal or alex for a change.

snow, snow & more snow.

2009-02-04T12:24:00.010Z

pictures of snow from the day of lots of snow.

2009-01-28T13:23:00.003Z

a few of my pictures have been added to the Kortrijk report on the BC site. clicky here to see it

i'm back.

2009-01-26T18:13:00.004Z

..i bet you didn't even know I went anywhere. well i did - to racing in Belgium. and i am knakered. we didn't get home until 7 this morning, a whole 24 hrs after we got up yesterday to go the track.

the millions of pictures I took wont be posted for a while yet, they have to be sorted for something special & then i can put the rest up [i think]. so for now, here is a non racing related picture from belgium, well actually france, in the hotel carpark. not that it makes sense to the majority.

2009-01-21T11:47:00.002Z

funshine

2009-01-18T16:30:00.006Z

the pictures from todays open race at Coppull are now posted. today was good, the sun stayed out, valerie won all her races, her first time racing expert, which is ace, and i took lots of pictures for a change. i love coppull, it has the nicest people running it so it's always good to go there.

I'm off the Belgium next weekend for't Euro racing, so hopefully there'll be lots of pictures of that to come.

just a few pictures from rampworx on friday.
i want to learn to take decent skatepark pictures.

2009-01-04T16:00:00.005Z

my first racing album of 2009 has now been posted, with the pictures of round 4 of Coppulls club race series from today, under a whole new 'BMX racing photos 2009' section to the right of this.
it was quite a good day i thought, especially having nice warm feet all day :]

2009-01-03T23:22:00.003Z

these pictures are all the ones i bothered to take today. the top one is misty 'cause of rain on my lens making it hard to focus. i wonder if i'll get to go to a regional where it doesn't rain sometime in the near future. urgh..winter regionals. i'll stop now before i rant about how much i hate winter.

i feel like i'm photo repeating myself by updating this & my flickr with the same pictures, but i like to post on both when i take a picture i like. so here is a picture of my sister, which can also be seen on my flickr.

maybe this weekend i'll have something bmx related to post about. fingers crossed the weather is decent.

this year we decided to be different and have a fairy light christmas tree, on the wall, rather than an actual tree.

i'm getting a little bit excited for christmas, though i don't know why as i'm not really getting owt, but i do get two weeks off work. yesss :]

i like the sound of snow crunching under my feet when i walk, and how nice everything looks when it's covered in it, and making footprints in untouched parts. i really like snow, so i took some pictures of it in heaton park :]

everything looks much nicer when it's covered in frost & ice. if only it didn't have to be so cold to get like that. brr!

it's nice to be able to feel my toes again.

click here for an album of the foggy gates at manchester today. there's not many, and they're not exciting but i thought i'd post them anyway.
