Read more‘…define “road-worthy”!’ So this next part was incredibly exciting. As the title suggest, Moss was about to get his first official taste of road. MOT was booked in, but first…
Read more‘No, I have no idea how to sew a canvas roof liner…but I can learn!’ This is where the finer details and designs had to come into play. So neither me or my dad are particularly good at interior design, so designing an interior for a small space seemed like a colossal job. We… Read more »
Read more‘Were these bits supposed to go back on too?’ Now, with a heading like the one above in the ‘Engine rebuild’ section of my story, you know this is going to be good… This is how we started. Using an A-Frame ladder, loads of cheap pullies and some cheap rope that was NOT load… Read more »
Read more“I’m not impatient, I’m excited…and impatient” Big things were happening. The bus was looking less and less like an empty husk and more like a homeless man’s make shift home. In my eagerness I was beginning to get a little ahead of myself and started on a few extra jobs that were not particularly necessary… Read more »
Read more“Is sander’s elbow a thing?” The rebuild had begun. I had lost hope and motivation many times over during the long welding process and on occasion contemplated selling up and doing away with all the stress. However, it had all been worth it. Nothing could be as difficult as endless welding…right? I could barely deal… Read more »
Read more“Dad, the van’s on fire again…” This chapter is also titled the “Learning to weld again” section. The van was bare of all fixings, bar the wiring loom and a few other small things we did not fancy threading through the body again later on. In front of me I had a list of all… Read more »
Read more“Oh look, more rust…” So here is where it began… I rolled the van onto the drive under the 1 dp (dad power) engine, then stood back to admire the best buy of my life so far. Holes every where, dripping old oil, mirrors hanging off and questionable ‘cigarette’ burns in the upholstery…I could not… Read more »
Read more“That’s a hole lot of bus!” The following morning I woke feeling content in the drunk exploration of a dream and that it was remaining so. I went to work early and spent the short shift in a daydream of VWs, adventures and oddly an episode of Poirot featuring Pete’s Dragon (please see previous post… Read more »
Read more“So, here’s what I’m thinking…” Over time, stories tend to acquire new details and become further and further for the truth, so believe me when I say I will do my best to remember exactly how everything happened. Memory is not my friend and it has been a life time since this story started. A… Read more »
Read moreOur resident gadget fanboy (me) took out to the hills to create an immersive 360 experience up in the mountains. If you have a good cardboard give this a watch and let us know what you think!
Read moreIn January this year, I received an email from Ben Gerrish from www.hddn.co.uk asking if I’d like to join a group of creators in making something for an event. As creatives, we thrive on a brief and a deadline and that is exactly what Ben proposed to us… We’re going to host 40 people (turned… Read more »
Read moreI remember a day when I used to cram 4 bikes and 4 people into and onto a Subaru Justy, and for those that don’t know what a Justy is, it’s a mini sized 4 wheel drive car… So you can imagine how tight that was. Needless to say, I used to look at those… Read more »
Read moreLet’s set the scene, I’m 30, I have 2 kids, a dog, mortgage, wife, pension plans, insurance, self employed, etc etc… so you can imagine that time is a little limited these days along with me being a little tighter on opening my wallet*. I’ve started to look for cheaper alternatives to mountain biking and… Read more »
Read moreFirstly let me set the scene. I’ve been a self employed web developer for over a year now, and it’s been a tough year, lots of learning curves and expensive mistakes. Lots of hours spent late into the night. However, prior to this, I have always worked for someone else, where the rules are set… Read more »
Read moreNothing gets your heart pumping and face smiling like a good ride out on the mountain bike, but just imagine how it must feel for Martyn Ashton to overcome one of the worst possible injuries and to get back out on his back with his mates. Of course it won’t be the same as before,… Read more »
Read moreI always felt like it wasn’t worth entering competitions, until now, I won the competition of a life time, and the grand prize was a holiday to a destination of my choice, Turtle Bay in Hawaii, Telluride in Colorado, or Laax in Switzerland. They also threw in a GoPro hero 4 Black and all the accessories… Read more »
Read moreThis is going to be incredible! So many crashes! You have to watch the trailer…and if you don’t get excited for the full thing…you can’t be human!* *I am a Nitro Circus fanboy…that gang can do no wrong!
Read moreJust watching this got my heart rate up, I can’t imagine what Dan Atherton feels like at the end of this in terms of arm pump etc. This is downhilling to an extremely high level, I look forward to seeing some more from all of this RedBull Hardline series. The trail itself must have taken… Read more »

Read moreThis pretty much sums up the term “Eating dirt”. A massive overshoot at the Redbull Rampage turns into an unrecoverable crash, which scorpions McGarry out the front door and straight into the floor face first. The most amazing part of this is that he was still in the finals competing after this crash in the… Read more »
Read moreMassive air!
Read moreBall’s of steel.
Read moreThis is an extremely impressive video. Looking at the riding, the location, the cinematography and putting it all together into a materpiece. I often think, “I reckon I could do that with a bit of practice”…but with this I have to say he has gone above and beyond with his riding…and CutMedia have done an… Read more »
Read moreErm….. Just watch!
Read moreSince I have been back from my travels I have on been to my local trail a hand full of times. In this video I am riding the longer of the 2 red routes. Awesome flow through the trees at the start, which then throws you into fast technical rock gardens. I stuck with all… Read more »
