The Fox Always Lands On His Feet...
Aug 21, 2008

Hello Hello,

Back in the UK, after a good 11 days. No body was hurt, clocked loads of footage and got some amazing photos.

The last couple of days were chilling. Every one was sad to be back, we had a wicked time with no hassles.

We went to the urbanize office, who sell Carhartt in Bulgaria, they got us totally wrecked with free beer and spirts. They are organising a street art festival in October, and want some us to come over to ride (sweet).

So thanks to everyone who we met and showed us a good time.

See ya laters

More Bulgarian Randomness
Aug 19, 2008

Today we went to another city called Plovdiv?. We got driven by the locals and a representative from Carhartt, to be honest we didn't find much, there were a few hand rails and that was it. It was cool to see though.

Every one is feeling a bit tired now...

The Latest Installment

Everything is good, heavy drinking session went down. Crazy euro party not much sleep.

Went to an outdoor swimming pool yesterday, that had diving boards. It ruled!

We met a guy called Sven who works for vans, he has hooked up some cars to go to another city, which is really cool.

Barney has gone back home and has a full day of traveling. Taxi, plane, train, ride, train, and train. Nice. He has had no sleep.

Crew is chilling today, going riding later, check the photos.

Later

Day Three
Aug 14, 2008

Hello,

Tried to have a solo mission yesterday but didn't happen and doesn't look like will be able to. Another good day, couple of good photos and some footage.

Had a little explore, but didn't find much. All is good the sun is still shining and its starting to get real hot, lazy starts to the day.

I've been cooking every day. Lots of pasta and fresh veg. Check out the BMX Jnkys web site.

Clarky: "I was bitten to fuck, AGAIN"

Billy: "My knob is bleeding"

Random petrol dude: "There is no problem, no problem"

Joe: "Well there is a problem, your not selling me a drink"

Most Bulgarians: "No problem, what ever you want"

Nikky: "There is only rails and ledges in Sofia"

Stero: "I took the door from my house, so we use as ramp"

Random to Clarky: "Get back to your own country"

Right thats it for now check ya tomorrow. Joe

Day Two
Aug 13, 2008

Another good day was had, plenty of footage. The locals riders keep coming out in full crew, which means we keep riding around with shit loads of people.

The locals are still riding like its '97 just ledges and rails, they don't see any other stuff and keep telling us there are no more spots, which we all find a bit hard to believe. We found an old metal vert in the middle of some waste land, it was sick.

There some 180s ove rails, some street lines, 180 tables and turn downs, rail hop into metal mesh bank thing?

Update tomorrow, the photos are coming from mine and barnys phones, sweet hey....

Hello Bulgaria
Aug 12, 2008

Every thing is going well here, we all have a bit of footage and some photos.

The weather is hot here 30+. We have met the local riders who like grinding.

Sofia is quite a small city, looks a little like elephant and castle, loads of tower blocks. There are loads of ledges and crazy rails that the locals keep taking us to.

Quotes:

Clarky: "Is that where you take off?"

Joe: "I just don't find rails fun anymore"

Stero : "My bitch is waiting in my bed"
