Working on gate technique finally, it’s becoming necessary for the goals I have in mind for next year! It didn’t end well though after hitting a double and sliding out. A chipped bone on my knuckle, nothing major but a slight set back! See you at the Brits as a spectator! 🤘🏼

Good afternoon folks. Welcome back for another one. Got a couple of goals in mind for uh today’s ride in uh Platfields in Manchester. But first of all, I just want to once again say a huge thank you to everyone who donated uh with the 15,000 foot charity skydive last week for mine. managed to raise a whopping 1,095. Uh, which was just amazing. Uh, and if you’d like to see that full experience, uh, there’ll be a link just above me here in about 2 seconds. Um, so feel free to check that out. But yeah, just want to say a huge thanks again. So yeah, goals in mind today. So it’s a open gate session at Platfields. So, it’s a bit of an ongoing joke as I said many many times. Uh, but I do need to work on my gate technique. Uh, I actually need to put some effort in and try and get better at them. So, probably weren’t built in a day, but today’s the day that we’re actually going to put a little bit of effort in and try and get it a little bit neater, a little bit tidier. Uh because I do suffer with some tennis elbow every now and then and I think it’s due to that because I never have it with jin and it’s only when I do starts that it start that it starts to hurt. So and I think it’s that because I’m kind of like it’s hard to explain but I’m bending my arms I think a little bit too much rather than like I’m pulling back whereas obviously the idea is to move all your weight forward. So, yes, I’m pulling and sort of like snapping a little bit, but I’m not moving forward. Uh, so trying to work on that today and uh we’re going to see how that goes. And then second goal is of course a jumpy goal cuz I just love jumping. Uh, and I want to get that triple into corner on first straight. I would like get it clean. I’ve sent it a few times, but I’ve never got it like dialed. I just want to get it. You know, you land it. Land a jump and you’re just like, “Oh, yeah. That just that felt good. That that’s how I want to get it.” So, two goals. I’ll be happy if I get one of them. Ideally wanted two, obviously. And uh yeah, take you along for the journey. It’s looking like a good day. Bit windy, but of course we’re out on bikes, so nevertheless, it is going to be a fun film day. Enjoy video, folks. I’ll see you in hopefully a sunny man. [Music] Okay, riders random car.

[Music] [Music] [Applause] Yeah, Man, it’s been a while. You okay? Yeah, man. Thank you, mate. Don’t worry. Just It’s been a while. Just take time. I didn’t see that. You saw that, did you? What happened? Did he go [ __ ] Was it wind? Just says water. where they landed on. Not the uh best way I want to end that session. Uh I’m feeling all right to be honest. Um took a little slam to head as I always tend to uh land on me head for some reason. But it’s been a while to be honest inside a crash. I’m not not going to lie. Uh but yeah, always always feels crap when uh when you’re doing it and like grazed up fingers are uh little bit banged up. It feel a bit sore to be honest. Um but I don’t think Hulk’s Hulk’s done. Got a little graze on Ed. Helmet seems to have done its job. Um, thanks to Chris Window who uh came running all in his little cleats sounding like he were doing some Irish dancing straight away to uh cater and are you all right pal? I loved it. Um, thank you very much and uh he being a gent and want me to come. Thank you to uh Manchester BMX Club who uh sort me out with loads of bandages, plasters, bottle of water and stuff like that. Seen me rate been proper sound about it just in case. Just trying a bit too hard, I think. And uh or a little bit tired. Maybe a little bit of wind as well, but not much. And uh yeah, just I think it just flicked back end a little bit. And um I just seen that loose gravel stuff and just when you hear that skating noise on loose gravel, you know it’s game over. So not say not ideal gate as as terms of goals what I wanted to do today. I think Chris has helped with gate technique a little bit with I’ve got more of an idea. It’s not the best but we’re you know like I said earlier we’re building a day so we’re we’re we’re at it. Uh obviously just going to heal up a little bit after this. Feel a bit sore. I’m getting on a bit now. And uh triple was just off cards. As soon as I saw how wind it were, I was just like, “No, not today. Not today.” And then went and did that. So yeah, I’m just going to head back home now and curl up in a ball, I think. So thanks for watching, guys. Appreciate it. And again, thanks to everyone who helped me out just send.
