Here in America, the first thing we did today is eat breakfast. Then Gee and I donned our lycra and headed out on the road, splitting up and heading different directions… because quite frankly he just cant keep up with me!!
Dan went down the road to hang out with the Bums in the carpark, and he did his sprints. He was, with a capital P, Prepping his BMX for the afternoon, when we arrived back.
Danny Macaskill was sat on the sofa in the sun wooping and looping at various insane bike trickery videos he was watching, getting inspiration i would imagine.
We pooled our dollars and went down to the corner to the Bagel Store where we ate delicious Everything Bagels, filled with our choices.
The next moment, to each our own bikes we fled, and made certain they were ready for the afternoons fun. Me to my DH bike, making sure id got my seat and pedals, unlike last time when i forgot them!
The Boys all got in the big van with their Chula Vista BMX track gear, clip on chin gaurds, you know the like, and off they went to pick up Christian Bercerine and Javier Colombo, our Gym workout buddies and our real life BMX heros!
My friend Erik came to pick me up, and we headed to do some Downhill runs, meeting a few other guys there, i was so excited, always am nowadays, to go and ride. It was a really tasty afternoons riding, on this one run i was following Erik, who was following K. Aeillo and i could just see him ahead of me in the next turn, it was so Flipping Rad! so fast, his bike was turning so hard and kicking up roost, it blew my mind i couldnt believe it really, it felt like i was in a computer game, glimpsing this thing smashing the turns up, fast as hell, woweee, i couldnt contain my excitement, i think they thought i was mental!! The sun set very pretty indeed over the sea as we did one last run in the semi darkness, and my heart soared around the world! Hahaha what a sentimental old fool i have become!
We have been smashing the gym up pretty hard whilst here, i have enclosed some of the choicest unblurred pictures of our various attempts to squat, deadlift and lift things up…Currently I am sat awaiting gee to get out of bed so we can go to the Oakley HQ and ride the Pumptrack they have there, its so fun! wow, its amazing how tired it makes you, we are going to meet a bunch of people, dig and ride, then go to some dirt jumps near by, im VERY excited! I expect copious amounts of Redbull (sugar free for me!) will be drunk to ensure maximum riding time without pesky tiredness raising its head, and i expect ill take a load of photos, so keep your sleepy little eye balls peeled!
Over and out for now. Cymru am byth…
