NED’s World

As many of you know (well the 6 of you that now read this blog) I bought a BMX a little while ago when I was living in Perth.

This Sunday 2 of my good friends came down with their BMX’s and we went out around Brighton and Hove for a bit of childish fun.

Now, as you will see from the title I am now 35, the youngest of the 3. Jim is the oldest, but I must say the most accomplished of BMX riders…. 5 10 (I have been told by Jim, although I didn’t see it, it was a longer wheelie than 5 metres)  metre wheelies is one of his tricks

Anyway we tooled around Brighton, drunk a couple of beers on the beach and enjoyed the sunshine. We rode from mine in Preston Circus to the higher level of the road at Kemptown to watch the extreme sports festival (or the biggest recruiting drive by the armed forces I’ve ever seen!); then to Hove (actually) lagoon and all the way back again via the marina.

It was an amazing day, one I hope to repeat again. It ended at the Open House, near where I live, with a beer and a chill.

It wasn’t roasting, as Jim said, “Perfect BMX riding weather”….. So I look forward to the next time, I hope it’s not too soon in the future

PS, bugger did my knees hurt in the morning….. 35, not 14!!
