Ive been wanting to hit this rail for awhile but truth be told its massive and ive been nervous! It has been haunting me for to long and this morning it was dry and I'd had enough so after a few phone calls and a couple of harsh slams I got it done! Im so stoked, and I would go as far as to say it ones of the proudest moments on a BMX and I wanted to share this with you.

I obviously had the video camera running and this rail will be in my section on the dvd im currently working on. " What Next..? " should be out for Halloween, keep checking back for more information and a trailer.

This Sunday just gone me and the lads hooked up with Mr Matt Parker of Project 5 fame and hit the streets of Birmingham. It was an awesome day, even if we did get like 6 punctures between us all! Project 5 organise rad street jams and if you haven't been to one yet keep your eyes peeled for details on the next one which should be happening sometime in August. Check out the P5 myspace at;
