We're in Glasgow and just about
to start day 5 of our Scottish summer tour. So far we've
ridden Livingston, Edinburgh, Penicuik, Aberdeen, Dundee
and Dumbarton and the riding has been insane. Even though
we're only on day 5 Kriss Kyle has done about 3 months worth
of riding, He just doesnt stop. Chaz
has been propositioned by girls and boys and the French
Warrington contingent has shut down the Glasgow streets.
Here are a few video grabs of Anto, Kriss and Chaz... wait
'til you see the footage...

| Ride to Glory... |
| 10 June 08 |
Dave Sowerby just got back from
Ride UK BMX
Mags 'Ride to Glory' road trip with Proper
Bikes. The trip started at Unit23
skatepark and then Proper headed East to session at
Transgression
Park in Edinburgh and Penicuik skatepark. On their way
down south to the finish line in Hastings they were arrested
trying to ride a full pipe in an M.O.D facility, redecorated
countless passing cars in mayonnaise and ketchup, discovered
a few shocking truths about Marv and drove the van through
team Volumes height poles (oops!) Check out a few screen
grabs and photos Dave sent over and look out for the full
story and cover mounted DVD in Augusts Ride Mag... |

There's no rest for Dave though

Edinburgh (Weds 10th June) with the arrival of Julien Leyreloup,
Antony Lille and Vincent Perraud. Hope to see you at a spot
around Scotland during the coming week and keep an eye on
the site for updates during the trip. Reet! |

Ach well, what can you do? You
give a guy a chance, two chances and more but still the
anti-social behaviour reigns supreme. Not content with burning
brains wherever he goes, glassing an individual at the BMX
in Scotland Awards and dissing his sponsor (BSD), we've
decided that all bad things must come to an end and it is
for this reason that Mick is no longer on the BSD team.
We'd also like to introduce Mick's replacement Sean Lafferty.
Sean has been ripping it up lately around the Glasgow area
and we feel he'll be a great addition to our team. Welcome
aboard Sean - blast out the madness! |

| The Unit
23 Superbowl |
| 22 May 08 |
The new bowl is basically a bigger
version of the now defunct Little Devil bowl and it's had
it’s fair share of rad sessions already now. Here’s
our new advert which is in the latest Ride UK featuring
Unit 23 local Chaz Mailey boosting the hell out of this
wooden behemoth.
We're having a bowl party there
on Saturday evening 14th June when some of the French team
will be in town, watch this space...
Unfortunately the French flying
freestyle frog David Lombard won't be at the party but check
out his photofeature

Livi! |

In these plentiful days of plenty
skateparks we must remember to pay homage to the original
creation that is Livingston. This legendary park was built
in 1980 probably long before some of you were even born
and to this day remains to be one of the best parks around.
Here are a couple of pics of Grant and Parky riding the
tight vert bowl on their first trip there this year. |

Simon is not long back from a
trip Stateside where he managed to get knocked down by a
car straight from a kinked handrail, hopefully we'll see
that footage on here soon. In the meantime check out these
pics of Aberdeen's favourite emo BMXer schralping some of
the city's older spots...

| Spanish punk
parties |
| 03 April 08 |
Julien, Anto and friends just spent
the whole of February in Barcelona. Unfortunately for Julien
he broke his thumb on the first day!! Vincent Perraud shot
these photos and wrote some words...
With my friend Ju Leyreloup, we were bored to stay in France
during the cold winter, so we said " go to Spain!"
like so many British riders... We rented an apartment during
this last February, in the old Barcelona center with a French
contingent: Ju Leyreloup, Anto Lille, John Garcia, Ben Gea
and many more... We were pretty excited, but everybody got
injuries or mechanical problems. Some kids asked us if we
were with Dakota Roche or Morgan Wade cause they were in town
after the Simpel session. But we were more preoccupied to
buy some beers and to find a place to go to partying... |
| |
| Barça is so beautiful and
the atmosphere was so different than France...more relaxed!
everybody wanted to stay here...finally we stayed one month,
with a lot of alcohol and "punk parties!" but we
are still alive and the trip was perfect...And oh yeah, we
rode some spots we have seen in videos...yes! A nice experience
and live with 7 other guys bring closer together...
