Tales From Bearwood.

BearBmx would like to share a few thoughts about the journey, I Kind of like the old days riding compared to nowadays seemed there was more fun back in the day. Bmx was about the love of riding in them golden days, I'm sure it still has the love nowadays. As mentioned in previous posts, first came Fun then came Bmx throughout, What you see on Jackass was the norm with Bearwood riders so much antics going on around you that you wouldn't know when you would be dragged into it. You had to have all your senses on full alert at times. Even when you would be riding there was a good chance that someone on the deck would grab your back wheel in mid air or just slap it making you over rotate, resulting in either you fall off or you manage to keep your balance and land the best you could(Funny)without crashing which was very rare. Somehow out of these antics nobody got hurt which is a surprise really, One time myself and Coley learnt to do double airs (one airing over the other) on the first rareunit mini ramp we had, The ramp was 16 feet wide and 5 feet tall we would have 8 feet each in width of the ramp to do our set up airs(Very Funny) I remember we would, be just airing normally, and didn't fancy the airing over each other part. We managed to get it sorted in the end best we could, remember now this is Bearwood where smoothness and style was out of the question with a majority of us, One double air, we was doing, we got our speed by doing 3 airs each and on the 4Th air over we go, now we airing over each other and our timings all wrong, I take off to early (more speed) and coley a fraction later, I'm now going over the top of coley and look down and hes just coming up the transition where I am about to land, bit of shouting is going on and laughter from both of us, then I just land on his back wheel and we just crash, Praise The Lord no injuries still. Even if we both had brakes it wouldn't of helped us as we was past the point of no return.

P.S. Hopefully br />
Until Next Time Much Peace And Blessings To Each And All.

Bearwood On Tour, Forward Bound Liverpool.

The Bearwood Riders would be ready to travel to any new place at a drop of a hat, this journey would take us to Liverpool Indoor Skatepark, this was a real good place to have a blast and quite enjoyable with plenty to ride, 3 Cars 7 Bikes and 7 Riders was the way this day rolled out. This day was a Saturday and riders going was Don Chromeleone aka Kenny, Max, Andy Ding, Ding Dean, Bearwood Tom and Myself, Getting to Liverpool was good and the day's session was out of this world, If i may say it was Bearwood in true form, You Would see Don pedaling across the floor and just hit the funbox and just throw in his signature X Ups then just hit the big quarter pipe and air like there was no tomorrow in classice Don Style, Max And Andy would be in some corner riding and just be on a Ten15 mission, Ding Dean would be killing any coping that would come across his path and laying down a good selection of lip Tricks with plenty of style, Well Bearwood Tom Would be everywhere like a manic just pedaling and launching into space, All was well until Don Chromeleone twisted his ankle on his last trick and come away limping and ooohhing and aaahhing. Ding Andy told me that the ooohhing and aaahhing continued all the way back from Liverpool To Birmingham as don had to drive his car back and Andy being the passenger. Don went to hospital on his return to find no breaks but torn/damaged ligaments in his ankle, If you ask Don he will say it was Max's fault as he cut him up as Don was on route to do his Wallride Transfer.

Til Next Time Much Peace And Blessings.
