Wrap up and prepare cos' this snow isn't holding back!

So the winters finally hit us and she isn't holding back, concrete that was perfect for a BMX rider like myself has now turned into this deadly white surface that is unsafe for man and machine. The disease is now spreading and the whole of the UK is becoming engulfed in this deadly white blanket of snow. So the reason for me being on this subject is to run you through a few simple steps into keeping your self sane during the winter and also keeping yourself warm and alive if venturing out into the snow.
To begin with I'm going to run you through keeping yourself sane in the desperate times when bordem becomes almost a killer, now depending on what you may be interested in such as BMX, Football or even going to School you realy need to make sure that your still getting that dose, for example for you BMX riders out there I would consider stocking up on the latest issues of ride magazine possibly even a Front magazine, also make sure to check out the BMX websites that all ways updated daily(I'll link them below) now if your lucky enough to have possibly an open space to ride that is covered from the snow I would advice you to take the risk wrap up and venture to it and ride your heart out!
Which brings me onto wrapping up and preparing yourself correctly for the snow. Now depending on what your doing you always need to have atleast two pairs of socks on with some either very thick of water proofs shoes such as wellys, now if your riding obviously your normal shoes just some good socks! Now you will almost defiantly need with some shorts or possibly long johns underneath, then you will want a good pair of either jeans or joggers which completes the bottom half. Now for the top I would advise possibly a few layers of t-shirts maybe even sneak a vest in to, then a nice jumper of hoody finsished with a very thick water proof jacket. To finish you'll need gloves a wooly hat and maybe even a scalf! As you are now ready to brave the snow, you could possibly add either a nice brew whipped up by the mum, irn bru or a nice beer this is incase of emergency. I hope this realy helps and please do comment if you think that may be anything else added to help survive and also tell me what you've been doing since the deadly white blanket hit us! Stay BAB and stay Safe!

  2. i tend to get my mind set for a good book im reading aldous huxley's doors of perception again. and i would defo say it helps to have a savage collection on good standard dvd's on stand by. watched the the imaginarium of doctor parnassus lastnite and it helped pass a few hours by sending me into a world of pure madness

    my cup of tea count had drastically went up over the last week which is defo not a bad thing.

    with a warm face and a belly full of meat and ale your not far from perfection.

  4. In this order . One pair of thick rugby/football socks , A plastic bag( morrisons, sainsburys, asda;) ), another pair of socks to keep it all in . then you are free to wear any shoes you like. Also electricians tape has served me well taping up the bottoms of trousers ect ect
