got to know simon and pippa quite well when making the bristol cider riders video 'bcr on the vcr'-had to spend so much time over in bristol ( 3 times a week for a good few months). simon, jason davies and all the bcr crew were great, not just in the riding sense but also sound people to hang out with too. simon also spent a lot of time in wales whilst making 'tidy' in 1999, riding skate extreme's vert ramp and various comps i was filming. arranged some last bits of filming with him at yate concrete park (just before he moved to cornwall) for steve b's clicked videomag too. good to see how far he's gone with his riding.
had a recent bcr on the vcr reunion piss up in bristol. over 40 types of cider. mmmmmm. jason davies was supposed to fly over for the week but didn't show and simon was stateside at one of the comps. some key members didn't make it but a lot of bristol riders did.
