Poor old Ben. He came down hard on his shoulder. He then had to endure an ambulance ride strapped to a spine board because the over zealous Paramedic that came in the ambulance had been told it was a head injury. The guy was a total Jobs worth idiot that had all the medic team and his own driver asking him why he was doing this. He ended up having to give Ben morphine because strapping his busted shoulder to the spine board for 45 mins was agony for Ben.

No riding for Ben for a while, I guess his Xbox skills will improve in the next few weeks.

The Goliath

The Goliath was a huge drop in and jump with a Vert to finsh that had all the riders on the deck, that is except a small 10 year old boy that made it look so simple. He really showed up all the other riders who struggled to even land the first jump, let alone pull double tail whils over it!

Here's a Skater as you can see he struggled...

And here's the 10 year old half way through a lazy 360

Martyn Ashton Wows the crowd

NASS Graffiti

I loved the graffiti artists work that was every where.

NASS09

FreeStylers and Zane Lowe were the musical highlights. But rain most of saturday and Ben braking his collarbone on the Sunday afternoon kind of took the shine off it for me. Most the afternoon in Yeovil General Hospital A&E whilst the street bmx finals were on, shame.
