dirt box

we’re back from NASS and as promised here is the monday mega post to let you know what we’ve been up to. we didn’t do too good on the photo front i’m afraid, there were loads of good friends there we haven’t seen for ages so our time was consumed with good conversation and many a brewski. there was a massive turn out this year and they had really hooked it up for the riders to, we had a massive athlete lounge complete with x-box’s, foosball, tiger skin rugs, massive couches and bean bags everywhere, free fruit, free beer, free nandos, a DJ and a hot tub. the competition was fun, the park was pretty tricky but everyone managed to squeeze some nice tricks out of it. lee decided he couldn’t be arsed to compete and when they called his name he scampered off and we didn’t see him for three hours. i enjoyed watching the bmx guys shred the course. anthony saw his first hog roast and continued to be a vegetarian, pissing on anyone that doesn’t share his views. we hung out at the kingdom booth and mooched around the trade stands a bit, this is where lee discovered his natural talent for snakeboarding. he couldn’t quite master the random roller skate style skateboards though. the nights where wild, we kept ending up in some random drum and base barn. i joined oli and will on a mission to spread cheer in the public camping area which looked a little like a scene from terminator, we soon fled after will walked into the toilet and nearly drowned in shit. lee spent half an hour trying to convince a bar lady to accept a completely ripped in half fiver and eventually succeeded by taping it together with stickers he found on the floor. we managed to leave just in time because it pissed it down pretty much as soon as we got in the car. the journey home was super slow with loads of traffic on the motorways. we hit up little chef for some traditional bad road food and when we eventually got back we hung out with lee’s dogs for a bit and then parted ways for some much needed rest.
