So it was Saturday (16
th) of February when I got a call off
Bas keep asking me when I was going to come down to Brighton to film for this Seventies 'Brighton ain't ready' DVD, as money for me is tight I was not very sure what to do, a train to Brighton would cost £50-£70 and I had £17 to my name. Somehow Mad Jon was heading to Manchester which happens to be a £17 train journey, my intentions of this trip was to leave for Brighton film for a week and come home back to Nottingham.
Monday 18
th, I was on the train to meet Mad Jon with a bag, full with 5 t-shirts, one pair of jeans and a
hoody, on the train it did cross my mind, how am I gonna get back with no money?' but Jon had the best answer.......'just wing it' which is pretty much what i did, it seems crazy that it cost me less to go from
Nott's to Manchester to Brighton.
6 hours later I arrived at the house and was greeted by Edd Allen,
Bas Keep, and one crazy Aussie, Kym Grosser. The next day the sun was shining so the cameras came out and shit started to get done, Kym was quite beat from the riding hes been doing for the last 2 weeks, I was shown quite a few spots and had a ride and at the end of day I decided to ride into a metal quarter and wrecked my wrist, which pretty much put me off my bike for a week so at this point, me coming down to film went down the drain. No money and no bike was pretty much what I had to settle for 3 days as I couldn't ride I decided to head to the seventies warehouse to see Stu, a few business meetings later he offered me a job in the warehouse, (when I was 15 I always dreamed of working down here and riding my bike with rad people and now by chance it happened) i took the offer without hesitation didn't think about where I'm going to live, just winged it.
so that leaves me living in Brighton working in the seventies warehouse hanging with cool people and pretty much starting from scratch which is what i needed. cheers Stu!
oh and happy birthday 23rd Iain fuller,
