Vice Magazine. Whether you love it or hate it, you have to pay attention to it in one way or another. I’ve been a huge fan of Shane Smith for not long now (it would be too much like a Vice loving hipster thing to… More ›

It ain’t all that bad

29er fanclub, don’t hate me till you read it all! Four weeks ago I headed off from the wintery shores of New Zealand and went back to the motherland. This was to be the first trip back to the UK for me in four years.… More ›

I hate rain and I’m not that much of a fan of watching sports. So it stands to reason that I should hate standing around in the rain watching sports. However, yesterday I had the pleasure and the privilege of witnessing downhill mountain bike history… More ›

Coastal Cruisers

I love magazines. More than any other form of media. I have a list of favourite mags (not all of them are mountain bike magazines mind you, especially as there’s only a handful of good ones and a whole heap of bad ones) but when the… More ›
