After 3 and a half years with Onza bikes our time together has come to an end, I'd like to say a huuuuuuuge thank you to the whole Onza bikes crew, its been amazingriding for them, loved every minute of it. Always great doing work with them. Extra big shout out to Joe Poyzer- Hero!
So now, I am proud to annouce i will be riding for INPULSE BIKES -www.inpulsebikes.com
Inpulse is the creation of Cedric fontenoy and have been tested and developed by Aurelien Fontenoy, so I know I'm in good hands.
Really proud to ridng for Inpulse, they're a new team but already have a great pedigree.
The bikes are available from www.54sport.co.uk - So check the site out and have a look at what's there
Had my first ride on the bike today, straight out of the box ( only things thats been modified is a grind on the rear and a Gusset Badger chain put on)- Its brill! I was instantly compfy on it, its different in a lot of ways to what im used to, ( geo, twin hs33's, 18-15 gearing) but I already feel happy with it after a few hours of riding.
Have a look at the gallery for pictures!

It been a very busy couple of weeks for me, First of all-Last weekend the opening round of the European cup took place inFrance. This was one of teh best events I've been to in recent years, great sections, perfect venue and brilliaiant organisation.
The competition was held at a park around a big lake which had walking/running tracks, 2 BMX tracks and a huge great trials park, all of which was man made.(Including a section which went into the lake itself)
I finished in 6th place. I was happy with my riding and pleased with how the day went making good progress as the day went on.
There was over 5000 spectators + riders and their familys and friends to the atmosphere was great. As i went around with the 2 top French riders I had most of the big crowds watching me and had the commentator with me most of the day!
This event has really motivate me for the upcoming events this summer.
Pictures can be found in the gallery
I arrived home from France on monday morning and that night I was back on the road for a 5 day MAD team show tour around the UK.
We visited various events in Birminham, Oxford,Hatfield, Hertfordshire and Bedford. It was a very busy but good run of shows!

European championship 2011, Sweden- 9th Elite = Don’t
ask!!
The venue was great, the weather was perfect ( a bit to perfect...) and the competitions was brilliantly run. So its very confusing and frustrating that I did badly after looking forward to the event for so long.
I was actually riding very well, my technical riding and power riding were both good during the day, it just didn’t seem to happen for me really and I never got a good flow during the day. There was a lot of cases of "If i just had 2 more seconds of time" or "If i didn’t loose that silly 1 there i would of done it" - All ifs and buts. The sections just didn’t suite me or the bike, just the way it is!
My next event is on the 19th of June in France- The second round of the Euro cup series at an amazing looking venue!
Really looking forward to it, I may have a new secret weapon ready for it too so watch this space................
P.S. I am now up to date with technology and have a HD camera!! This means I can now make some videos, which i love doing and haven’t done since the end of 2009- Hooray!!!
