Bruton's jumps.

It's apparent it's the time of year where brakes come on, and dirt seems to have formed into transitioned mounds, all ready for this thing called 'Trails Season'. Bruton, in a matter of weeks has already formed about 3 jumps, in a yard, catering for these so called 'trails bosses'.

They're running the first bits in, whilst building the rest to keep juices flowing. I drive down with Bruton, picking Mamby up on the way. Barclay came down later, but he's gay as, and I didn't take photos of him...

Hollaaa.

It's been ages since me or Jack have updated on here, but times to make a change. Expect more updates in the near future... Content will be less BMX related, however, expect as much BMX as possible, with a lot more random shit as well.

Don't actually know where to start...

I smashed my iPhone, and only just got it back after about a month. I downloaded this application called Camera Bag which is fucking sick. It can do some sweet effects to the average phone camera pictures my phone takes. Imitations of Polaroids, and Holga cameras is a sweet deal. For about £2, it's pretty good.


Exams are on at the moment, thankfully, I don't have many = time. Me and Jack have already completed our art exams... Jack's moving image exam revolved around the word "attached". Deciding upon a BMX related attachment, this was the final piece.

I'm not going to lie... I've bought a skateboard, and am having some fun skating around, nibbling on some ramps. I'm not good, but it's something new, and it's a cool sport with some rad people in it...

Keep coming back, and checking for updates... I want to run an update-a-day kind of ship now.

Pies.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Yeah, been a good year for Junction Nine. We saw a second round of Street Vs. Tweak, many visits to Clanfield, and a summer roaming around in Tim's car. However, downturn in posts produced by College/Uni etc means that it feels like Junction Nine is dying out. But. It's not, so don't threat it! Ha.

Anyway. Stickers are definitley on the table for production soon. Tees are a maybe, it's just producing sufficient funds to do though that seems hard. Also producing a legit designs, and actually finding a place to get them done is also hard. However, if there's a will, there's a way.

Updated the Flickr last night/today. Got my first roll of 120 film back from the Lubitel, so I scanned them in and put em on Flickr. Well. The only 2 good shots... Ah well... Finished a film in the Diana too. Will sort that out when i've gone back to college... Anyway, yeah, check it out here
Example below...





















Finally. Red Banks jam was yesterday. It was shit. Sorry James, but face it...

Over and out.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

From everyone involved in Junction Nine, we hope you have a good day scoffing down some turkey/chicken/gammon/halal meat, and pull them crackers like never before. I got it a Lubtiel Med Format camera. STOKED. I also have really bad gas. Not stoked.

Falex's birthday yesterday. Hapy Birthday for yesterday dooooood. He set up a new bike. Probably do a bike check soon. For a UKBIKECO frame, it looks respectable to say the least! Ha.

HOLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.

Tragic News

To begin with, I'd like to apologize to anyone, if there is anyone, who reads the blog and has been disappointed by the lack of updates, however, ever since the start of college, both Me, and Jack have been snowed under with coursework and stuff. Also, Tim's moved to Portsmouth to go to Uni, so we no longer travel as much as before... Anyway.

As some of you may know, local rider, and a good friend with some people whom may read this, Tommy Boyd passed away last week, and I think I can say this on behalf of everyone that we're in true shock. This is what came from the Retribution site...

"Tommy Boyd passed away early this week. He'll be missed so much by so many people, and if you ever had the pleasure of meeting him you'll know what a kind hearted, generous and caring person Tom was. We all love you Tom, so much more than you knew.
Tom rode with me for almost ten years, and always made everything look so good on his bike. He also was a keen photographer, and you'll see his BMX photos used on the dig and 4down sites. He was particularly good at portraiture, and you would rarely see him without his camera. He was such a great guy to be around, always there for us when we needed him, and I'll never forget that. Thank you so much for the times we spent together Tommy, we're all thinking of you x"

For both me and Jack, and probably Tim too, in the days of riding Abshot, it was always a joyful time riding with Tommy, and he always proved to treat us like one of his mates. I'll never forgetting starting out and having his skill to look up to.

Not only was it his passion for riding too that we both had in common, but we also enjoyed photography, and talking to him at the years Street Vs Tweak was really cool. It was also sick to see his photos appear on DIG. However, that's the last time I recall talking to Tom.

Anyway, on behalf us all...

R.I.P Tommy.
