Back in the Saddle...

Well, as part of my New Year's resolution, (and against the advice of my good friend Mike Wink ), I've just ordered a new BMX frame so I can get back into riding again.

I can't wait.... eeeeeeeeeeeeeee shiny new frame.... sorry. I'll post again when I've fallen off and hurt myself so you can get both perspectives.

Mmm... Shiny.

Go on, give us a picture of it. And then some pictures of the injuries later.

Oh don't worry, as soon as it arrives there'll be pictures...

I'm planning to make a stupid video over the summer as well, kind of CKY style involving anyone I can get...

You've still got shins?

My legs are just little metal poles from the knee down. Damn those beartrap pedals...

Still, explains my crap dancing I suppose.

Odyssey Triple-Trap pedals - guaranteed to take off three times as much skin as regular bear trap pedals. I got some after I thought “they're so big, my foot will never slip off”. How wrong I was. Still not sure which is worse - when it slides up your shin or up your calf...

Yeah, I've got the exact same ones on my mountain bike!

You'd think the grip would be amazing, but no, it's just as bad; even worse when all the gaps have filled up with torn flesh...
