Sunday Sessions: West End Town

/

/

The title is somewhat inspired by the classic hit (Partridge voice engaged..) by the Pet Shop Boys – West End Girls, now we ain’t a bunch of girls but Mouse was bitch slapping himself today at the premise of hoping onto a curved wall bench ride so hmm maybe. Anywho lets get onto the main entertainment that is Sunday Sessions this week brought to you in full Technicolor, HD2000, World Wide Web Ready GIFS… Read more →

Sunday Sessions: Tails from the Weekend

/

Nope not the Weeknd the guy who said he didn’t rip off Portishead when its kind of obvious that he did (the beats in the song..) but the Weekend which went down recently (but not this one..).

Well im glad thats out the way, an over complicated intro to a fun weekend riding in the Team Valley area of Gateshead. Even when people say there isn’t anything to ride there, what they actually mean is that its pretty hard to find things when hit with the daunting task of a giant industrial estate and faceless corporation buildings but amongst all the crap there are gems, hidden places of beauty or in geek terms Easter Eggs (Microsoft Office ’97 XL for those old enough to remember Office 1997).

South Shields, Twas Sunny…

/

Last weekend Olly and I hit up our old home town of South Shields to meet up with Marc Bell and Jamie Whitts to have a chilled ride, see some new spots that are under development and to ride some places we rode many years ago. Northern Child who jumped the Great Wall of China came out for all of an hour before he couldn’t stand the thought of his car not being parked near enough and disappeared.. no doubt back off to China to eye up a bigger trick over said wall.

Sunday Sessions: A Random Couple

I’ve been pulling the fisheye back out the bag and dusting it off for a couple of BMX snaps and really there is not a lot more to say really. Enjoy the bright and punchy colours and some stunts and all that.

Sunday Sessions: Toon Fools Part Deux

/

/

A couple of weekends back we all met up in Newcastle for a sesh and the usual question of “where should we go ride?” came up and as per usual people sometimes get a brain meltdown when this is asked. However based on a previous Throwback Thursday here on Street Phire I knew just the ticket. I’d been doing some research into a spot that I rode several years ago with Olly and had found that it still looked like it existed and as a bonus there was a new concrete park built just quarter of a mile away from it. So if all else failed we’d still have a new park to ride and hopefully we’d find some street too.  Read more →

Sunday Sessions: Toon Fools 2013

/

Right i’ve wasted long enough writing this post, i’ve just been caught up in an internet trip down memory lane checking out old blogs, looking at old photos, trying to find the first photos from Street Phire’s Toon Fools series but allas no luck. So for those of you who haven’t seen or heard of this feature from back in the past, basically I used to go riding with the lads, take my camera and 50mm lens out and get snap happy documenting what was happening on our BMX’s. This weekend it’s snowing and no one is out so i’ve decided to put it to good use and throw up the photos from last Sunday’s session where it was actually warm and dry, can you believe we hit double figures for the first time in the past 4 months (or probably more).

Enjoy some of the snaps from the day, i’ll caption what I can and if the weather gets better then there’ll be more of this in the future! Read more →
