LEWIS UPSTAGING JOAN ON THE BACK WHEEL!



Everything is going weLl, doing alot of ridin, from about 10am - 130pm, then again from 6pm - 830pm, but this varies.
Had people from the island of mallorca stay last week, they give me the nickname of kangaroo or kangarito, or skippy haha. Very nice people.
Someone else who has been out training with us a few times now is the newly crowned world junior enduro champion, Oriole Mena, 22yrs old. On the trials bike he is about a top C grade rider! He is a reaLly nice guy tho, he took me out the other night with all his friends, as there was a big yearly celebration in the local town of mataro. So we went out, watched fireworks, and went to a bar on the beach, but dont worry i only drank coke hahah. Had to be up the next morning for training, so did he.
Other than that not alot else happens, dont get out of the small town of Canyamars much, it is a nice place tho, and really good for riding in the surrounding forests.

Joans back yard is also very enjoyable to ride in, he has many indoor style sections set up, from large quarry rocks, to big logs, concrete products, and rocks excavated into the hiLl to create double triple and even quadruple steps! joan showed us this rock toni bou attempted 3 times, but never got up.
It is bloody insaneeeeeeeeeee!! You look at it and just go no wayyy. its just massive, undercut, uphiLl run, and the kicker is miles back. iLl get a picture of it when i can.
also Joan is a very very good rider. Some sections i can manage a 3 or a 5, he goes and gets 0 first shot! haha. But in the yard there is some Backwheel hopping turns and jumps that i do that he wont even attempt! haha so thats really fun. He just says 'incredible'. i Even saw him showing his neighbour the other day so it must have impressed him! haha
