Tomorrow at Manchester marks 16 years of trading at national events in the UK, i think i have only missed 3 in all this time. Support the people that support the events. I have had some great days trading and even dug a moat at preston in the rain to stop the flooding. If your in Manchester pop buy and say hello. #bmx #bmxracing #trader

Had a little engineering job thus afternoon making a 120mm axle, with a 6mm bolt fit into a 110mm 10mm frame, axle machined down and top hat spacers so it all fits together perfectly #machining #bmx #modifications
