staged or not staged

Which one these two pics do you think we might have been a bit cheeky with and staged?

Also if you are going to the woods today armed with a spade don't dig holes to make jumps. It under mines trees makes the place look a mess and gets all us woodland riders a bad rep. Far better to be a cunning from where you get your soil from.

Smilie's 30th

Last Monday the 15th of June, not really fancying the idea of spending my birthday some were motorway I book it off to go and get some 4x4 wheelie board action in. So Myles, Kez and me headed off to Spaniards Wood in the big smoke.

Luckily the weather has been nice and hot of late, so the whole place was baked solid and piles of leaves and other tree debrie have long since been blown away from the dips and hollows. Leaving us with new lines to find and old lines we know so well running extra fast. Before I go much further I better tell you a bit about the spot. Well it's not the steepest or the gnarliest but it is made up lots bumps, lumps and hollows mixed up with decades of dirt bikers building jumps as fast as the rangers destroy them. Think of it like a woodland skate park with hips, kickers, mini quarters and the odd log to jib and drop thrown in for good measure.

Topped off with a road to park on that the bottom of the main run. No need to worry about stashing your bag or spending all day riding with it just leave it in your car and ride to every time you want some food or drink. While I'm on the subject of food and drink on the corner of the woods you have one of London's most famous pub and formally Dick Turpin's local Spaniards Inn http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaniards_Inn. Serving quality food and drink, oh yeah for those living in London you can also get via public transport.

After a wicked mornings riding where even after so much time spent riding there already we were still finding new lines and old ones felt as good as they always have. We headed to the pub for a spot of lunch and quality cider, before heading home. Perfect!!

Cream Teas, what what

Dear RemExtra,

Just returned from the first round of Cream Teas & mountainboard Jam, and i must say it fell on the most delightfully glorious June weekend, and did indeed go off in a max-ubersteez-styli.

It really was a super old chillaxed shindig of lovely proportion, viewing the modest spectacle of unbridled wheelie-boarding action and hanging with one's homies.

A tranquil post-postmodern countryside environment (complimented beautifully by that icon of Man's power worship - 'a pylon'), Knockhill mountainboard centre was the perfect host to the whimsical frivolities that ensued.

The quantifiably neo-ironic and intrinsically cool BFC really did a rather spiffing job, as did all the riders. Well done chaps, no need to apologise later as it certainly was a most splendid jape. Many thanks.

And happy birthday to Smilie. Cheers old boy.

Must run- one of my students, that frustratingly scurrilous squirrel, is on a crack bender again...

Yours,
Professor Remtoad, phd.

ps. I say you should expect a real write-up with colour photography, results, and indeed a video, on the wonderful remolition.com soon :) In the meantime, for a quick report (from a human) , check here.
I thank you, what what what.

alphabet soup

If you regularly read my posts on here (even if they are a bit sporadic at the moment) you will already know I don't exsackly write in the queens English. Sometimes it's a lot more like smilie's interspersion of it. A lot more phonetic with a scattering of full stops, comers and other assorted punchuation. One thing I did notice yesterday while watching the story of Beowulf on the good old BBC i-player. Was the agechent Saxon words which are still in use the English language. Were all spelt in very phonetically using the letters which have the right sounds as as opposed to putting to letters together to form the sound. So really I'm not dyslexic, I'm just more Saxon than most people.

Anywayz I'm drifting off topic a little, I was going to write about all the people who translate smilegees into English for Remolition well really anything I have written which needs to be easily read and understood. Thanks Dad for all those late nights correcting my spelling mistakes on school/college work.

You most the time it's pretty obvious what I'm trying to spell as most the time it's a missing letter here or all the letters are there they it's just that they aren't in the right order. Which doesn't cause to much of a problem in fact the on board spell checker will pick them up most the time. Just Sometimes kez or who ever is editing my work will get totally confused leaving no option but to write the word down so the word looks right for starters or to use a spell checker or strangest of all putting the word into google works quite well sometimes as well. So by the time a document as been edited, de-coded, translated there is another document containing a load of random words much like fridge poetry. Like this one which created from Kez editing the Mountainboarding Culinary Delights article I wrote recently.

Remazing blazing t-shirts

2009's T's.
Remolition sponsors the ATBA-UK Championship series and The BFC's Cream Teas & Jam, so get to the events (1st one this weekend at Knockhill), pull off your steeziest jams and take home some of this hotness.
Ouch.

prize prep!

The Remolition sweatshop has been in effect...

Cool wooden banners have been lovingly handpainted for the UK centres supporting Cream Teas; the first round of which is coming real soon ( sat 13th June: expect a full-report & some bad-ass photos on rem by the end of the month)...

we've also been hard at it creating our unique line in t-shirt fashion. Perfecting the guerilla style, similar to last years ATBA championship prizes, the black T's are emblazened with a burnt orange rem R, with printed details.

You can get Rem T-shirts on the cafepress shop here, but attending the comps or contributing to rem's mountainboard magick is so far the only way to get your hands on one of these bespoke hand-bleached bad boys. Raaaaaaare. I'll put a snap on of one soon, but you know you want one already ;)

There will also be some rad pieces of original artwork for the jam winnerz too. Even cooler...
