This opened up quite a few months ago but ive been holding back for no real good reason.
Basicall Banksy (England's best known graffiti artist) was let loose on a now out of use tunnel at Waterloo station. I tried to get in while the exhibition was properly open but there was a que for the que so we flagged it. This site has some good shots and a vid of what it was like.
I went back the week after and took phots of my own which you can see HERE.
Over the cause of the exhibition you were allowed to put up your own stuff which is the section out in daylight.

Hey dudes, me and ash took a little trip to spain last week, heres some pics.
We stayed with one of ashas friends in Valencia who has been learning spanish for 6 weeks. She showed us around and was our translater.
this is where they kill the bulls


some cool old buildings



and cool new buildings






great graffiti everywhere










this ones for break away sativa bike club

and of course some crazy bikes










this one hurts



we got shitty free bikes from one hotel we stayed in and got to ride around a bit

they had the F1 race down at the beach



then we jumped on a train to BARCELONA!
some pics from the train.








barcelona is huge




mostly flat in town but some bigger hills around, theres actually a big longboarding scene and GAVs too I guess but I didnt see any of those.

we saw that big TV aerial on the top of that hill get nailed by lighting one night it was super rad.
heaps of Gaudi buildings I remeber studing at UNI

nuts




booze and food is way cheep
sangria is 40c (euro) a litre,

heres the view in the morning


we went to a fiesta one night but I forgot to take my camera, but I snapped some pics the next day of a couple of the streets







basically everyone decorates a street on there block with a differnt theme and there are bands and djs and everyone just parties till 6 in the morning, so rad


So many great skate/riding spots, every fucking ledge is marble or granite and I didnt see one skatestopper anywhere
these are some famous "tits" down at the port in barcelona



banks everywhere




ledges and rails in Valencia




and parks




These are the "bicing" bikes, basically free to use for people who live there, but not for us toristoes.


pritty cool bikes, people seem to really like the chopper sort of style over there, I guess cause its sort of a lazy beach town thing. even though its a huge crazy city.

like velib in paris, vans drive around everyday and grab them and service them.

the bowling alley was pritty good too

you use a joystick to put in your name, sweeeeeet

well thats it for now. uhhhhhhhh.....
thanks for having me.

A few weekends ago I went out to Dave Benson's place to hang out talk bikes drink beer and see some crazy parts. I snapped a few shots but the photos I have only scratch the surface of the treasure in this shed.

This place is the park behind a well known and very soggy old quarter pipe in the dirty end of Remuera. It's a huge wetland area full of curious pukeko and annoying people with dogs. A lot of the reason this place exists is all the water pumped out of the huge quarry right next door. Now that the quarry is being turned into a bunch of houses, I wonder what's going to happen to the pukeko land. They can come hang in my backyard if they like.





I took my new Sunn Bmix for a burn, which was fun.









Gabrielle rode my street croozer and handled the loose gravel well on those 700X23c tires.








One of the many romantic chill out spots in the park. It'd be fun to go for a night ride through here.



Then we went to a Mexican restaurant and grocery store. The food is great, better than the pics can convey. They also have amazing Mexican stuff everywhere, like partying skeletons made of wood and heaps of religious stuff.








Quesidia




Something yum that I can't remember the name of.









Then we stopped here for some beers on the way home. Cobras rule!

I think Mark was right when he said that fixies might end up going through there 48 spoke wheel phase soon.. Check this bash guard, this thing is horrible, I remember when BMXers where running contraptions like this, luckily the industry came to its senses and realized that using thicker & stronger T6-7075 alloy is far lighter and more durable and does the job just as well as an over sized chunk of alloy bolted to your chain wheel, lets just hope freestyle fixie kids figure that one out soon!

This weekend I really wanted to find a cheap little camera that I could chuck in my back pocket while out riding instead of having to lug around my digital SLR, So I went into Camrea&Camera on Queen Street and was stocked to find this nice little Rollei for $150, no bad for a 7mp German made camera. Check it out below along with some photos I took with the camera around High Street.

I have had this sidewinder for a few weeks and finally did some work on it.
Should be a sweet ride.

This must be just for lazy people? A fixed gear crank brake? what?
