-Just a quick mail to tell you what's happening for me over here, well I am riding for Wethepeople, I spoke to Harry and Klaus and will be back on-board a new bike soon. Stoked that we sorted everything out and everyone is happy. I'm also riding Odyssey parts for the Padded Cell here in the UK.
Don't forget they have a Jam on at Rampworx in Liverpool this Friday; 10p.m-8a.m!
Hit this link to the jam info.

-The Alley in Corby has had planning approved for the new roof and Vert/Resi ramp so the building should start very soon which means that the UK/Europe should have its first true Vert Resi up and running. Hopefully before the end of May.

-Vans news, Jon Taylor is back on the UK team. Mike Miller is on board and will be pro with flow this year. The rest of the team is unchanged with James Brooks, Sam Foakes, Chris Mahoney and Mark Webb rounding things up. Also on the team we have the younger guys Dean Cueson, Josh Bates and Lewis Monks who are all rippers!

-On another personal note, I am patiently waiting for the newest arrival in my family to arrive, 6 weeks and counting.....man this is nerve wrecking stuff!
