I have thought this for a while, but I feel compelled to share! TopGear has some of the greatest moments of TV EVER to ist's name.

The Veyron.

The indestructable Toyota Hilux, what a sequence, over 2 episodes . .

The best of all is the transit van. Marty . . . can you beat 10 minutes???? Can you beat . . . a girl . . .in a transit . . . I guess we have a couple of months before we know! I trust you will do your best EVO style write up on it all :)

I must go - back to the beer!

MMmmmmm, 1 foot of fresh has fallen today at meadows . . . I guess my plan for this memorial weekend is now officially sorted :) Freshies are on me !!!

Looks like this strorm will be about all weekend and with next weekend being the start of June it looks like my season will have been 4 months long at meadows :)

At this rate I will suffer the timberlione day rates of £50 until November then splash out for a Meadows season pass!!

Anyhow, the weekend is here and I have beer in the fridge, I must go!

I am not sure when it changed. Actually they have all changed. In almost all the films I have, suddenly the cars are now driving on the correct side.

Spooky?

It is amazing what a week of bloody hot weather can do to a mountain:





Mind you the forecast is for snow all week! And this weekend is a 3 day weekend!!!

Now what I am going to do this weekend???

Thursday, May 18, 2006

Yo! Hope you all had a fab week! As you lot will be reading this on a friday I figured I will make a post.

The good news (for you lot) is that I am not going ride cutters camp for free tomorrow . . . I will be riding Meadows on Saturday and Sunday though so don't go grinning too hard!

More good news, Smurf booked her flight over for June :) so I really happy about that! Had a nightmare booking a flight, there were all soooo expensive. We had a hard time finding something under 700 pounds . . . Got a flight in the end for about 580. I think I know why they were so much, but that will follo in a mo!

Time for a grumble . . . I tried sending some money back to the UK today to cover my UK overheads and stuff. I nearly fell off my chair, the rate I was offered was 12% high then I get paid at, that means I would loose big time sending money back to the UK. Not happy.

How does this relate to the fligths??? Well the flight prices have been really volatile the last 3 weeks, so as I was checking out exchange rated I found this explains a lot if you ask me . . .

Anyhow, more good news!!!! Smurf is comming over :) Not sure what we are going to do while she is here, maybe a day up at Timblerline??? mmmm . . . I reckon a good tour of the Gorge woudl be in order. Gonna miss the good music festival, thats next week . . .

More good news, well, how can I not mention Barca. From all Spurs fans around the world. . . Thank you! Va-va-gloom!

Anyhow, I am bushed and need to crash, promise to post something more entertaining at the weekend!

Oh dear . . . what do I do???? Do I take the day off to go ride "the best terrain park in the world" . . ..

Cutters Camp

Tuesday, May 02, 2006


By all accounts Tons-O and Follow-me had good weekends! Independently of each other they both managed to get some "clear heel" action . . . Need an explination? Then you need to listen to Chris Rock I will see if I can get the DVD!

Today is a sad day. As I feared my winter snowboard season is officially over. I have been summond to the UK for work and as such it is unlikely Meadows will still be open when I get back :(

I would just like to say that this year has been by far and the best year for boarding for me. I have progessed to the point where I can bs3 and fs3 off hits (never got the balls to try on kickers propoerly) and in the trees :) I can get fs and bs air in a pipe and I can get to the lip of a super pipe on a good day! My free riding is the best it ever has been! I can ride any terrain, fast and controlled! All in all Meadows has been the making of me, in terms of boarding and I am looking forward to an early purchase of my 06/07 season ticket. I am front of the que!
