Mine are good enough for a cold person sam (Y) . I was freezing standing there doing nothing. The things I have to do for Andy these days. Sacrifice myself.

Nice pictures , especially the fourth , as Trialmedia said .
On the shot of the ( good lookin ') bike itself , it apears that you run your brake levers angled very steep . Doesn't this become uncomfortable when leaning far back ?
I've always run my levers like that, I've not noticed any drawbacks and it feels really comfortable on the wrists while on the back wheel and prevents wrist snapping harshness on front hooks.

Haha true, but how often do I / we take pics or film??? And that gap was a fair size I'd say.

Hehe never knew that one day someone said that Saracen are good bikes now, so top job on them and you :S . Pictures are good.
This frame is part of the first batch, still has a few niggling problems but nothing major, as I've said, it rides sweet as. Although "saracen" and "MAD" always seen as one and the same, its not true. Both are seperate companies, just so happens Saracen are the company that manufacture the MAD design. Top job on MAD I say :lol:
Thanks for the comments :lol:

Nice weather this evening and after a long stress filled day of apollo excels and whining customers fancied a little ride in chichester. I'm getting more used to the Saracen and I can honestly say that I prefer the way it rides to the zebdi. Anyway, you've probably scrolled down to look at the pics already but here they are.
Pics magnificantly taken by Charlotte :S
This gap was made easily - I couldn't even do it on the PX.... BEAST
So there you have it, I'll post a few more pics of the saracen beast in action at a later date.
Comments welcome.

I've got a pair of Etnies Callicut shoes for sale.Size 7. They were blue and white, but i dyed the blue bits, black. It looks alright. Looking for about £30.
I didn't wanna put this topic in For sale/wanted becuase it's not really bike related.
Have been worn once, but still look new.
This is a picture of before and after i dyed the shoes.

I keep watching it... Sad I know, but I love it. Jonny you're right about music going well with the emotions. The end when the winner is said, that music goes so well. >_<

Best three days in a f**king long time.
Course was alright. I must admit, it wasn't all that great but ashton & co did use what they had very well. There was everything from super tech logs and tree's to a super street mini quarter pipe so to speak. All centered around a big flat bed trailor. Some pretty damn rad lines heh.
As i wen't for all three days, its all blurred into one but i will try re-cap as best i can.
Friday -
Ashton pulled a back flip, on his ashton. Vincent & Benito back wheel the trailor at around 51 inches. Gilles hooked the middle tree, can't remember the height, but pretty damn huge. Ali C fell a good 8ft into his back wheel & back. Demolished his back wheel. ( I wasn't there for this bail, so if someone could fill us in ). Craig sidehopped the trailor which was 51 and a bit inches, too two wheels ofcourse
Saturday -
Craig out side hopped Benito. To be honest, im sure benito could of had it, but Craig sidehopped up this f**king huge log and benito did keep trying, got it to back wheel but couldn't get his front low enough so could never stick it, so he let Craig have it. Ofcourse, its round one of hop idol. I can't remember everyones name so i won't list who entered, im sure you all know anyway. As i was cheering on Jon and Andy, i must admit, this will seem biased towards them, (but for good reason, so read on), but they was going f**king huge. Not forgetting Nick Manning who was clearly doing bloody great too, pulling some lines some of the pro's where doing. Jon came out with a ramp to air to x-up as his first move in practise, then wen't on to pull this highly orional line from the ramp onto trailor and onto the middle step of the devils staircase. Andy was ofcourse huge as well as super smooth as always, pulling amongst his session, a 360 gap and was the first one to go up to the top of the course and down the devils stair case. (I have nothing to do with name, talk to Chris about that ). Fatmike also pulled a sweet line from the top skip to the bottom side of the skip, throwing in a one hander at the top. After the 2 sessions of 3 rides, Andy P, Jon, Nick and Fatmike where put through into the final. Well done to the two that didn't make it, you rode good :P Fatmike also snapped his disk mounts on his forks, so was looking grim for the final, however, phil the superstar said if Ashton could raise 40quid from donations from the crowd and riders, he would sell him some pures. Guess what, he did :lol: I put in 1.50 too
Sunday -
Everyone was looking forward to today as ofcourse it was the hop idol final. It was at first Andy + Fatmike, and fatmike after not touching the top pillar decided to go for it, even though he was shit scared of it, so top job there dude :P If im honest, i can't remember most of the semi finals, so i will skip the finals, which after deciding was to be Andy P and Jon. Nick and Mike rode fan-f**king-tastic though, so shouldn't be annoyed at all. After just riding 10minutes of the semis, both Jon and Andy where nackered to shit, and Jon was clearly struggling, ontop of that he had a bad back. Jon pulled a sweet gap of the far end Pillar to the big circular low pillar. Then Andy threw back the punch with a god damn insane gap from the top pillar to the second step in the pillar stair case, which even got the respect of Ot Pi. Jon was clearly nackered to got of his bike 15 seconds before end after a really harsh bail and let Andy take the stage with a good 9ft gap to a small rail way sleeper. Side on, which for the inept is around a 6inch wide platform to aim for. It was also taking of from a rail wall sleeper. It was done rolling, but he did it. It really was exciting, and i hope anyone that watched enjoyed it as much as i did. Ofcourse, it was time for the winner, which was hard to choose as both Jon and Andy are both great riders. I would like to highly congratulate Andy Ponting on winning hop idol, and Jon Shrewsbury for coming a close 2nd. Well f**king done heh, i know you was both nervous, but you sure did come through. Top job. Ofcourse, now it was time once again for the invited riders. Craig threw on his FBM tee :S and made his way to the top in the final show of the weekend. We knew he was going to throw something big down, and he sure didn't dissapoint. From the top of the course he did a huge drop gap to a TINY post a good 10/11ft away with around a 6/7ft drop. He wanted to the gap to remember deej, and what a great way too. All the riders where blown back, and as soon as it was over, vincent, benito and ot pi walked up to the top pillar where he took off from to have a look, and looked on in disbelief at what he just pulled.
Also checked out the BMX street where some crazy shit was getting thrown down, and all in the smooth and flowing fashion BMX is known for. Unknown of Dirt was a bloody good show too, and well done to Kettle (Simon Brettle) for representing, shame about the bike you was lumbered with.
I can't remember shit all from specific days or demos, so its mostly hop idol. Big big thanks to Lee McCaw for driving us up as well as The Bike Show for allowing me a Press Pass. Also thanks to everyone i stayed with, and what great fun you all made. I can never look at Kirsty in the same way again. Projectile Blood Loss
All in all a great weekend. Video will be in a few days :P Jonny's will be the one to look out for though, as well as the pictures he took. Give him a few days to short shit out though.
Correction: It was Andy and Nick Manning riding against eachother in the final 1st part. Not andy and fatmike lol. Get it right Si. :)

Rice Krispie Cakes:
Just a silly question but I've been addicted to my college ones recently.
I searched on Google, but some say you melt marshmellow, some say peanut butter, so I don't know.
I don't like nuts, so I wouldn't like nutty stuff. Do you like have to melt choc and add krispies, then put in fridge? I'm a confused little cook. lol :">
Please help. :(

Sunday is the best day to ride, not Saturday!
If you ride Sat, u'll be suprised how many people complain and the police telling you to move on. You wont get much riding done on a Saturday.
