This is insane! Its been hard to keep this quiet over the last few days, I couldn't believe it when I saw it. The fact that it's on a 6ft quarter and he still lands smooth into the transition is mental! I'm meeting up with Harry end of this week when he's back from the states to film a little edit for the weekend.

Since the sun has been out we've been having some of the best sessions. The grass hip in Liverpool is one of the prime spots during summer and I don't even know why, it's not even a good hip, it's just a bumpy uneven grass mound. I guess it's just good to be out on your bike anywhere when the sun is out. D-Rope with a bars on the grass hip.

Ben's also got a sick bike check on Dig with loads of photos of his ride. Check it HERE

This is what happens when you ride along a wooden bench and your wheel gets trapped in between the slats you go OTB and butt the floor. I think he broke his nose as well, we weren't sure 'cause he refused to go the hospital. Instead he just chinned few beers and was alright after a bit. Hope you're ok today Minney!

I've been filming with Jersey recently for his new BSD edit which is supposed to be dropping within the next few weeks. BUT if this volcano keeps going and stopping air traffic then he wont be going to Barcelona at the weekend which means we can film so the edit will be out even sooner. Call me selfish but I hope his flight cancels.

DJ Premier's blog has sadly announced that Guru, aka Keith Elam, has died following multiple medical conditions/problems, at the criminally young age of 43. As the other half of Gang Starr, Guru's impact on hip-hop is huge and this truly is a great loss. There are SO many GS bangers that it was impossible for me to pick one, so instead I've gone with one of the first tracks from Guru's side project, 'Jazzmatazz'.
'No Time To Play' was a real breath of fresh air in 1993, and cemented Guru's position as an innovator in what was becoming a static genre at the time. The title/lyrics are pretty poignant; take heed.
RIP GURU July 17th 1967 - April 19th 2010

The Make "Rain Dogs" prem was packed into the backroom of some pub/social club in Leeds and filled to the brim with BMXers from all over. All I can say is to get yourself a copy of this as soon as it comes out, it was amazing! They've travelled around the globe filming for this and to top it off Benny L has some sick grinds in there including a crank-arm grind to 180 on a handrail filmed about 2 years ago. Exactly.

The Make Leeds jam @HydePark was the most un-organized jam ever with no format, no one shouting down a megaphone and no "win a prize if you do something mad" comps you normally get at jams. It was the most fun I've had on my bike at a jam in ages for the following: 1. The Sun was blazing. 2. Everyone else was riding with EACH OTHER and having a good time. 3. Bengo nozzed the longest obstacle in the park (the whole of the ledges). Beddows and Ricky Adam were around snapping throughout the day so no-doubt there'll be decent photos of this in print sometime soon.

Basically Paul called out manny to bars on the ledge first go so Ditchburn grabbed my camera to make sure he did it.
