Mission good times....? - 1/12/09
| I went on a mission to the Lake District last week with my mates Si Dalton and Lloyd Curtis. We missioned it up, camped in my car and went on a hell of a walk all round some mountain-tops in the fog. Tried to cheap-skate out of buying a map but thank god we didn't or we'd still be up there! I went swimming in Ullswater the next day and Si had food poisoning. Good Times eh..? |

Good times - 22/11/09
| Party season is in full swing, I've been in Britain now for 6 or 7 weeks which has been a bit different to usual, but i'm adjusting nicely and have been riding, skateboarding and partying! Me and James Stock went to a party on his MX bike the other day full throttle in top gear, in the dark dressed as hill billies. Good times... |

End of summer - 23/09/09
'Well well well the end of season came up oh so quick. Last bits of riding and partying were amazing and I really wish the lifts would never close! This has been such a good year for Morzine with new tracks, jumps and entire bike parks springing up all round the area, I can't wait for next summer!
Here's a completely unrelated pic of my end of season attempted flip into lake session.. I tried so many times and it just ended up hurting my ankles for some reason.'

I want one! - 08/09/09
Well its been a good few weeks of the season here in Morzine,
I've had some of my friends that I haven't seen for a while over here so
we've been getting in loads of riding and loads of pub time too! ITs been fun.
For the last few days the Mont Blanc Rally has been in town which has been so
cool as you can go riding on the mountain and stop in various places to watch
stages of the race come by. There have been some seriously cool cars about!
I want one......

Introducing.... James Daniel Mcknight

I RIDE a K9 DH001s, WeThePeople 4 Seasons BMX, Charge Blender Hardtail. Then whatever else I can get my grubby hands on! LISTENS to Mainly rock stuff not much of a music boff. My best moment when RACING is Just when you think to yourself "this is so much fun"- that normally comes |
| with sunshine, good company and a result mind you..LIKES motorbikes, Guinness and dark haired, tanned, sporty, rich and intelligent girls. BEST TRAIL the Pleney main line! That is one hell of a classic and I just love thrashing my bike through all those holes! NEMESIS I really, really want to get good at racing and stop having stupid injuries that put me off my bike for ages. LOVES snowboarding, BMX trails, racing of any sort. HATES negativity. I always MISS my family big time when I'm away for ages(which I always am) and especially my nephew Otis as I want to see him grow up. Also when I'm in Spain or anywhere I miss Morzine and all my friends(more like an extended family!) who live there. | |
