4 Pegs.

Stunt pegs, when it comes into any normal persons mind they think of their childhood and how you used to slam two on the back, two on the front and then get you mates to hop on. You would just rinse around the street all three of you holding on for dear life but enjoying that buzz and the risk of all three of you just eating shit in the chance you may loose grip or balance. Stung pegs to a Freestyle Bmxer they are a piece of equipment something that opens doors and enables them to unleash so many more tricks, also known as grinds. Now there is a long list of variations of grinds going from double pegs to even a rollercoaster's grind!



Now depending what discipline you may ride such as Street, Flatland, Park or even Vert I suppose will decide on how many pegs you really want or need to ride. For all of them really you can run four pegs but for me riding mainly Street and Park I choose to run four pegs.


Its been more of a recent change to my BMX but I've found that running four pegs it gives you a lot more opportunities giving you that option of riding opposite but also enabling you to try particular tricks or runs, now I'll admit I'm not amazing on my four pegs but the only way to get good is to ride them and just have fun which I've found, most people I ride with run at least two pegs and I would definitely say that my four pegs will be staying firmly slammed to my BMX's dropouts. Here's an example of pegs being unleashed on the streets by Ryan howard, Enjoy.Stay BAB.

Winter at Penshaw

For the first time in many weeks me and Monkey were able to brave the blistering cold and actually go and ride and outdoor skatepark, our local park Penshaw. Now Penshaw is set in the middle of a field on a hill so it was very cold but that was not stopping over the course of the day we managed to get a few tricks down. Now there were some tricks we wanted to get done but weren't happening so there will be another edit as soon as we get them done. Enjoy, Stay BAB.

Vbridge session 2.

So i've managed to escape from the depths of computer chair for the second time in a quite a few weeks now to ride my BMX. Me and nathan decided to ride the Vbridge again as its the only place with shelter and good enough to ride for the distance i can be bothered to ride. This time round i took my SLR and also took my camcorder again, we met my mate Robert down there and also his mate and had quite a productive session, got lots of clips done and also some pictures to. Im going post the pictures below and the edit will be coming soon just need a few more clips to finish of. Here are a few pictures from the session.








Moving on to today i was planning to ride Silksworth, over the last few days the snow has finally been going away and letting the nice ground that we like to ride on dry up, sadly as per usual woke up to the sight of this horrible white substance called snow falling from the sky turning my day of riding into a day of nothing. So what have you all got planned for this and has anyone managed to ride?? Stay BAB.

What snow?

Today me and my brother Nathan decided after getting over his Xbox dying that we would make that deadly decision and venture out into the snow and ride some kid bikes. Taking in my own advice I wrapped up with many layers and packed my bag full of very important things; old rags to dry my shoes and pedals and my camera to get footage.We were prepared and made our move, made it to the garage fine and the BMX that has been untouched in to long was still its good old self (ghetto as f**K) no punctures so all good.


Our point of riding was Vbridge which is about ten minute bike ride for me just located near Washington. The route there went pretty well apart from having to ride on quite a busy main road we made it in one piece without even having to walk (in your face snow!) So as we came down the slip road to our destination the sight that greeted us was something words cant describe in this climate, no snow or puddles in sight and a perfect roof over our heads with a nice street light, thank you very much a perfect rideable street spot with a selection of flat-banks, ledges, ghetto quarters and manual pads, perfect.


A soon as we got there the first thing that needed to be done was checking i can still bunny-hop, checked that off and riding began, managed to get a 540 on the large flatbank and few other things, but wont go to much into detail about tricks as an edit will be coming sometime next week! So me and Nathan took turns riding and filming throughout the time there and managed to a get a few clips together but overall just got to enjoy ourselves doing what we all like to do, riding kids bikes.
After a good bit of riding and some filming we decided to leave and head back home, heading home was not as easy as we had thought. I imagined a nice ride back after a good session riding my BMX but it wasn't that simple, thanks to work traffic we had to walk all the way along the main road as the road was just to busy for any attempt of riding on, so a ten minute bike ride turned into a forty minute mission home in knee deep snow carrying our bikes.


Overall a good day, edit of the riding will come soon, Stay BAB.
