Buried With The Past?


When we were in school we would often use the gate like the one above that leads to the black path and then to the top shops or home. I took this on the way to work and you can see the build up of soil proving that its been unused for many years. Why I'm writing this or expecting anybody to care is not important. What is however, is that I noticed the same things where we all used to play. Children are inside a lot more on the PC or games, and less on bikes and making dens. Maybe the real reason I'm writing this is really to myself..
'Yes, as I'm getting older things seem further behind but my memories are fresh and nostalgic, and that's what makes me grateful for the times I had..and to come.'

BMX BANDITS


I position my cheap mercury trainers onto the slippy plastic pedal, Stu does the same to his sharp bear trap pedal. We both grin at each other side by side, and tighten our blisters on mushroom grips. We have removed the cushion from the frames, although we always land on it-ouch. We are hot and sweaty, our parents will want us in for tea pretty soon and the suns setting. Stu leads the way jumping of the higher park edge down onto the sandy track-Bamp!
He peddles a frenzy and hits the ramp, I watch Stu land and then skid. My turn, I lift off and land. I'm going for it and bunny hop jump-soar, bump! I skid 180 and blow up sand comparing my skid mark to Stu's. He won. We practice wheelies on our way home, but leave the endo's for tomorrow. We've been building den's and ramps all day.

RETURN TO THE QUE CLUB!


I'm going out tonight with my friend Bass, and sister Crystal. We are going to The Masters Of The Past at the Que Club. It has reopened after 5 years and I can't wait. All of my favourite types of music will be played all night, although it will be a new me revisiting the the cathedral. I'll be sober headed. It is a huge place with different rooms, what I term 'underground' not like your commercial clubs. I'm sure we will meet some great individuals there, and it will be a night to remember. I can't think of two better people to share this time with. I have fond memories of past events here, it will feel nice to finally come home.

GROWING UP IN THE 80'S

I grew up in the 80's, and I loved it. The music, T.V programmes all remind me about the path I travelled. He Man, A-Team, Air wolf, Street Hawk, Hulk, Transformers,Mask, Go bots, Thunder cats, Trap door, Emu, Grotbags, Bmx's, Freestyle Arts, Graffiti, Gremlin's, Ghost busters, Robocop, Norris, Knight rider, Goonies. Not to mention the horror films, even the daft ones. If you can respect back on your beginnings (not dwell), work on your middles, and then make plans for your future...you can succeed.
