Advice for upcoming riders: If you truly love riding a bike and challenging
yourself then don't give up. Be safe, wear a helmet and as much body armour
as you can handle, get out and enjoy yourself. Don't listen to the idiots
that are too fashion conscious about riding that you find everywhere these
days. Riding is something unique to you, your style, the riders you admire.
Riding a bike to extremes is hard work and can be lethal if your pushing
your limits too hard. Stretch the elastic band to almost breaking point but
NEVER to the point where it will snap, the bike can be fixed easily, you can't!
Never be talked into doing something your unsure of, if your heads telling you
NO, then don't do it, if your slightly detached like Jimbo then your gonna hurt
big time.


About Me: Two wheels are my life. I live and breathe bikes, i don't really know
anything different.I work for a top motorcycle tuning company and have had one of
my custom built prototypes featured in some of the UK's high profile magazines.I
love Graphic Design and Animation. I love riding my Motorbikes and customising them.
I enjoy good honest people that don't see you as a ticket to get something. I love to ride with
the younger guys on the scene today.They really are pushing limits i never thought
possible.But most of all i enjoy spending time with my family, my friends and my dog.

More: Nearly broke my neck once trying
front-flips on a Mountainbike. Don't get old...it's bad for you!
