Last weekend I competed In my first competition of 2012. It was a pre championship round run by the Crowthorne club at Hook Woods. Conditions were good, a few muddy and slippery spots but nothing too bad, good conditions to start the year. We had 3 laps of 6 well mixed sections. It took me a little while to shake off the cobwebs and get into competition mode but I had a good relaxed ride, my riding was consistent and Improved a lot each lap. I had laps of 7,2 and 0. Finishing on 9 in total, It's always nice to get a clean lap. Jack Meek finished 2nd on 41 and Conner Manthorpe 3rd on 63.
There was a hill climb at the end of the competition. You were marked on how far you made it up the hill and as soon as you put a foot down that is where you finished. I managed to make it to the end of the "1" section of the climb, only 2 or 3 moves from making it out ( I rushed and made a silly mistake) No other rider made it this far, the next closest riders only managed to reach the "3" section - Fun end to the day
Pictures from the event can be found below.

Ison Distribution recently sent me some great new products for the 2012 season from my Sponsors TSG and Gusset. My new Helmet is The TSG MMX, It's a simple design but looks fantastic. I also received TSG Slim Gloves, Gusset Slim Jim Magnesium pedals, Gusset Badger chain and Gusset Squealer Brake Pads.
Big thank you to Matt for sorting it all out. Please visit www.ison-distribution.com, www.ridetsg.com and www.gussetbikes.com to check out all of the awesomeness!!

My Bike!
I thought it was about time I put some pictures up of my current bike and set up. The bike is now 7/8 months old so cosmetically it isn’t perfect (yes I know it needs a clean!) but everything on it still works 100%. Recently made the switch to front vee brake, very rare in the trials world, unheard of in the competition scene, but so far it's going very well, really impressed with it.

New Video!
Yesterday I had a few hours spare and was a little bored so made a little video.
I've got a lot of odd's N end's clips from throughout 2011. I'm really bad at getting rid of things, I never delete anything especially If it hasnt been used. I don't have any new, good clips so made the most of the scraps I had on the computer.
Edited quite quickly, its rather basic but It's come out nicely, I'm happy with it.
Clips are nothing special, hence why they wernt used when they were filmed 5 + months ago.
Most of its filmed at Barrow Farm, few bits from Samphire Hoe and 1 clip from Sweden.
( Also features my new favourite sport at the end)
