About me

Cheeky Geordie living in Gateshead.
I can't say I'm some kind of legend on two wheels or that I know more than anyone about bike related stuff but I'm keen and I've got some skill.

I like a bit of banter but don't be too personal otherwise I'll cry, and especially not if you're only twelve and you can't spell.

I like to explore the north east and it's places to ride. I like to write reviews, take photos and make videos.

I'm always looking for locals who know some where good to ride that I don't know about. I live 10 mins from Chopwell and can't wait for the new trails designed for 2008.

Back when I was a kid I had one of those raliegh burner kind of BMX's. I'd spend all my time at my Grandma's house where there was a BMX track on the back field. I was a skinny little thing and the bike was too big and heavy really but I kept going back out there for more after denting my shins or shredding my elbows and knees. I'd be out there so long I'd get blisters on my thumbs. I once saved up £125 and bought a free spirit but it got nicked after 2 weeks. I never had owt that was any good and didn't know anyone who knew much about bikes back then, but now I'm all grown up and I'm back, and I really wana play out. I've been to glentress, Hamsterley Forest, Kielder Deadwater trails and Chopwell. I also want to do newcastleton, Guisborough Forest and Dalby next.

I ride a XC bike at the moment which is nice and comfy for long rides but not much good for jumps and drops
