Abit of news from here and there and links for bad weather


Sorry for the lack of updates been pretty busy sorting things out for redditch. Got the 24/26 jam tomorrow and i hope its dry! The filming for the vid is going well even though the weather is making it harder than it needs to be. We have been to several spots so far, LDN, Cov, Redditch Street, Rubery Park, Stratford park, Redditch park etc. Hoping to get some trails footage but it wont stop bloody raining! If the weather does pick up and you need some new sunglasses please check out;



They have some proper nice eyewear for you to look good in this summer. Hardie has wrote some bits about me in his last 2 news sections of the ride mag so as i dont have much news because its raining all the time and when its not im trying to orgainise the realx jam have a read of his news section..............



The above one is from last month and mentions abit about Redditch, Mr Ben Sutor and short autobiography about myself (Nik Ford) and the one below is the current news section which mentions Adam Galt and his hook up with Charge bikes and my hook up with Nueu.


Adam has a blog on the charge website so if the weather continues to be crap go have a look at;

http://www.chargebikes.com/

and go to the team section its in there. Hoping to get to Worcester outdoor concrete park soon as well. A few of us are keen to go up to Stoke skate plaza but we've heard its proper slippy but we ride Stratford and thats got a rep as having a ice like surface so i reckon we should be ok. I'll keep you posted.
