Owain Clegg, rideukbmx.com, cover story, april 2009: I was coming up from Plymouth, no pressure but it’s a fair few miles if you bottle it! That’s how I remember how this photo came about. I’d mentioned the rail to Lard in passing and before I knew it he called me from half way up the M6 (during which time I was just finishing up work for the day) so pretty sharpish I had to get down there with my rail head on, not ideal situation in hindsight.
The thing that really stands out from this picture for me is how much I must have fallen hook line and sinker for the trendy products of the time, I got my Bucky helmet, my over-priced brake cable and the relevant Etnies shoe of the month, what a trend setter…
Now the actual pulling the trick was one of those where your hands would be diagnosed as those of someone with Parkinsons Disease! But in fact for once it turned out mint on both tries (timing was never Lards forte).
Lard literally packed up and headed off down South again not before promising me it was cover material, heard that one before I thought to myself, only to be pleasantly surprised to visit my local WHSmiths the following month and find my gormless looking mug staring back at me, I was the talk of my family that month and I am sure my mum still has a copy somewhere in her house, laying between a book about the Archers and a LP of music from her day. The rest, like my hairline, is history…

www.agoride.com: L'interview de Luke Marchant sous forme de QCM est très drôle et se lit vite et bien. C'est un des nouveaux petits tueurs anglais; il a fini second à la Backyard jam en amateur. L'interview d'Edwin Delarosa est par contre décevante. Trop courte. Dommage on n'apprend pas grand chose si ce n'est qu'il n'est pas américain. Celle de Dave Mirra est elle très très longue. C'est plus le récit du comment du pourquoi le photographe et le rédacteur sont arrivés à entrer en contact avec The Miracle Boy et toutes les péripéties qu'ils ont rencontré pour faire leur reportage... Les pages news sont ultra ultra fournies. C'est facile à lire et on apprend plein de trucs. Notamment sur les nouveaux skateparks en construction en GB et certains valent vraiment le coup... Le check bike de Karl Pentelow, un gars du North, pote à Ben Manual. Destroy son bike. A son image.
