breaking & entering.

here are a few pictures from manchester last night.

i have more so, if you think i've got some of you, email me & i'll send you any i have of you.

manchester regionalllllllllll :]

the manchester regional pictures are now up, a bit later than usual 'cause i've been at cals and only just got back. good regional, half decent weather [in that the sun came out a few times, even if it didn't stay out] trof food smelt niceee, red bull, gazebos and other things made it look good, stals moto sheet board, cals start hill cake, and lots of other things that were good.
for anyone wanting to see the coppull trails jam pics, those will be up by the end of the day, if not in the next hour or so.

sx

we went and had a look at the manchester sx track before gates yesterday, and i thought i'd post some pictures of it, incase people haven't seen it.
i'd like to take pictures of people riding this, so if anyone does get to go and ride it, an invite would be much appreciated :]

and a couple of pictures from manchester gates....

rain rain go awayyyyyy!

it's raining outside.....again. just like it started to do as soon as we set off for manchester gates last night. luckily it stopped after a while, and i managed to take some piccies, mostly of the rainbow. i thought i'd post a couple from last night, while i sit here and wait for summer to arrive.

mmhmm

last night was the first time i've been to manchester track when it hasn't been blowing a gale and/or raining, which meant i actually had a reason to get my camera out :] and use my 85mm lens, which i really should use more often 'cause it's ace [not that any of you care, or know what i'm on about]. anywayyyyy i've made an album of the pictures i took, incase people want to see themselves, that can be found here. it'll be deleted in a few weeks like so if you want the piccies get them quickk! oo i've used a new album layout for it, let me know what you think of it pleaseee?

this & that

as there was no racing up north this weekend, theres no usual sunday evening post of the photos from the day, so i thought i'd make one with a collection of pictures from manchester tracks first official gates session from the thursday just gone, and some from our track work day on saturday.

anyone wanting prints and/or cards ready for hartlepool let me know asap so i can have them made in time :]

we have a trackkk :]

today we went to our brand new manchester track to have a ride now it's done & test out the gate etc. it was fair windy so not much jumping of jumps went on, but it was good, and everyone seems to like the track. i even had a go. i thought i'd post a couple of piccys up.
oh also you can go here http://www.manchesterbmx.co.uk/ for all things track related.

hartlepool regional tomorrow, which should be awesome. especially if the suns out. no doubt i'll be taking lots of photographs, seen as it's one of my favourite picture taking tracks.

something new.

yesterday we went to check out & have a test ride of our new manchester track [which also resulted in a hospital trip for..........ethan, surprise surprise. he's okay though]. it was very windy & the tracks not quite finished yet, but it's not really far off & it looks much better than the pile of mud it was last time i went. general feedback is that'll it'll be ace when it's finished :] just incase you're interested. here's a couple of piccys of it for those who haven't seen it.
[note: the berms aren't "flat as pancakes" as they look, it's my wide angle lens making them look that way.]

view from the first berm

view from the 2nd berm [note: that kids riding it backwards]

view from the last berm

and a few more pics of different bits of the track

on the theme of new tracks, today was the first race at the new crewe track. it was proper windy an all today & there was a bit of a poor turnout but it was alright still. the pictures are up now, they're mostly from practice though, as there's only so many pictures you can take of the same people, doing the same thing before it gets boring. plus i'm not keen on dull weather pictures either. i don't know what else to write so i'll stop now.
