Time for another bike check I think. This time Alsy "Badman" Childs. Alsy is pretty tall (Nuff tall if you wanna be "street" about it) so he rides a 21.25 frame to give his mazzive legs some room so that he can bust bar spins all day long.

Check his bike out below:

Finally had a few sunny days in Harlow, about time too. Me and Alsy spent the day at the local park enjoying the sunshine. Felt good to properly jump the hip in the bowl, its been too long since it was warm enough to ride in a T-shirt.

Splendid day..........

Jordy just got a new frame and forks so I thought it would be best for him to have the first bikecheck on the GrooveBMX blog.

If you know Jordy you'll know he's not exactly poor. So when he realised the other day that no money had been spent on his bike for a few months he came down to splash some cash.

He was riding a hawk V2 but I think we all knew (jord included) that it is a nice frame the Hawk V2 was not the right frame for him. Jord is a spur of the moment kind of guy and the Hawk was there so he just got it. This time Jord wanted something that was right for him. Although he did nearly go for the mazzive United 40 in 21.25 even though he is 5'10" haha.

In the end he went for the new Wethepeople Worriors frame and the also new Wethepeople Scorpio forks to match. Both frame and forks use the new invest cast dropout's which is supposed to be stronger and looks better I think. Jord rode it for the first time properly last night and he seemed to be getting on with it just fine.

So yesterday the GrooveBMX shop team and a load of our close mates took a trip upto Leeds to ride The Works skatepark. The guys over at The Works were kind enough to open up early for us so we could have the whole park to our selves. We had to leave Harlow at 6am to get to Leeds for about 9am. Unbelievably everyone managed to get to the GrooveBMX shop before 6am so we set out on time.

After a long drive we finally got to The Works skatepark. Somehow Big Nick got lost but on the way but they showed up about 20 mins later so all was well. We rebuilt our bikes and got ready to ride. As soon as we got in there we all agreed that The Works was a sick park. Everyone started riding and it turned out to be an awesome dayLoads of big moves went down and we captured most on them with my camera (although I think Mr Dix and Sutton have some video footage on their cameras).

 So these are all the pics from The Works skatepark tripEnjoy!

James had to land a hop whip clean to earn his lift home. Unfortunately he slipped a pedal so we left him in Leeds ;)

All in all it was a sick day. A big thanks to the guys at The Works for letting us ride their park. If you get the chance be sure to go there as it is a sweet park.
