So last night after shutting up the shop we were asked along to Hanham youth centre in Bristol to give some lads a crash course in BMX ‘MOT’s’ shall we call it. The idea was to teach them the basic understanding of how things like a Gyro, BB and such work and how to correct simple problems/maintenance using their own bikes. It went extremely well and i hope the lads of Hanham are now riding around on some dialled bikes!
Afterwards in true CrucialBMX fashion we had a mini-jam, which consisted of one 3 ft high (steep as fuckkk) kicker ramp in the youth centre car-park. About 10 lads pedalled their asses off around a corner and up this sketchy kicker sending themselves anywhere from 6ft to 22FT.
I’ve actually never seen anything like someone traveling 22FT off such a messed up ramp, Jamie Jonas literally killed it and almost himself. How on earth he landed perfectly is beyond me, it would have been literally like taking a 12-14 ft drop to solid flat…I’m pretty sure i speak for everyone when i say i literally cringed at the view of watching jamie hit his peak hight.
We did say to Jamie that we would film it and post the video on here, however dumb-ass me had the iPhone on picture taking rather than video, my bad dude. I’m sure however in the next day or two we should see a clip from on of the many young girl fans Jamie has (EDIT: FOUND THE VIDEO, CHECK IT OUT BELOW!)
Anyway, we have this cool as hell picture of jamie receiving his goods for winning and a video of poor old Gabe Warren giving it his best (i joke).

Lee Enever has been making moves recently, you all must remember the killer edit we dropped just over 2 months ago right? The one that landed him with a broken collarbone. You also saw the unreal high double peg on a seriously famous rail in Albion/Ride UK yeah? With all this good coverage the chaps from 4Down have hooked Lee up with a Animal/Skavenger Flow deal through CrucialBMX.
“MacNeil UK riders Billy Cooper, Mike King and Vinny Mayne got themselves across to the BMX heart the United States, Austin, Texas in March to dodge the English weather and to be tested by every BMX annoyance..
Running immediately into the SXSW music festival, skateboarding tours, broken iPhones, thunderstorms and a bewilderingly busy city overpopulated by an extra 250,000 people, the team searched to find what they could that hadn’t already been done in one of the most exposed cities in the world, all whilst enjoying one of the best places on earth.

We just got stock of these incredible 1970′s Penny Skateboards. They are so cool:
“Penny Skateboards are the original plastic skateboard. Where did they go? Who cares, they are back now and are one of the best selling boards we carry. Plastic injection moulded skateboards from the 70s were one of the best and sought after skateboards available! People love the small size, tight turns and the fact they can put them in their backpacks. We carry many colors and sizes”

The OSS Clothing looks unbelievably awesome, and so does the TCU hat. I’m deadly serious when i say that you need to jump on this quick as the Hats are extremely exclusive and the clothing won’t be hanging around for long at all. While your there don’t forget to head to the miscellaneous section and pick up a OSS/TCU/Crucial BMX sticker pack to freshen up your whip. Click the banner below to be taken to the Online Shop with it all on….

CrucialBMX Team Rider Lee Enever’s Winter Edit, Filmed over the course of early 2012. Lee put some real time and effort into this and i think it shows. Its a real shame he broke his collarbone filming what was suppose to be his banger (View it here: vimeo.com/38244131). Get well soon buddy….
Hope everyone enjoys the video! More coming soon.

As some of you might remember about 3-4 months ago i posted a load of photographs from behind the scenes of two days filming with the BBC for Casualty. Well that episode has just been aired! It was broadcasted on Saturday evening.
You can stream it to any device using BBC iPlayer or CLICK HERE TO VIEW IT ONLINE. You see myself and the CrucialGang in the opening scene and then we have a few minutes clip in at around 20mins or so…
Definitely worth check out if you have a start 45mins to kill

Yesterday i made arrangement with our team rider Lee Enever to spent the afternoon finishing off a few clips and getting his banger clip so we can get his edit done and dusted to drop on WEDNESDAY the 14th of this month. Unfortunately we had a little bad luck and Lee suffered a bad crash.
The setup was a 3ft wall-hop with a 4ft gap to around a 8-9ft drop outside of a extremely famous church in Bristol. Lee had been eyeing it up for a while and was extremely confident he could do it with ease, just worrying a little about blowing out on the drop landing. Lee had a little bad timing and clipped his back wheel while jumping the wall, this sent him into a nose dive and he fell pretty far to his head.
I did get a clip of the crash, which is below if you would like to view it. Lee wants people to see the clip to create some hype for his coming edit, however it isn’t the easiest to watch…
Lee took a trip to the hospital and he’s got a broken collar bone, some glue on his head and an incredibly bruised heel. This marks the end of our filming, i take my hat off to lee for even attempting the gap.
Get well dude, and i really hope this doesn’t knock your confidence once your back on the bike as it was just one of those silly mishaps.
