Been struggling recently with a few little niggling injuries but i've managed to keep into the majority of my training with the help of the physio's at the English Institute. Getting injuries is never a good thing!!!

I'm pretty much set for Christmas, a few things still to get before i head to Bristol to spend it with family. I'm only there for 3days or so as then i'm spending NewYrs with Kate and some friends back in Manchester which will be nice. Last time they came up we all ended up going 10pin bowling and Kate got beat by a then 4yr old kid!!!!!!

Trying to tie up a few sponsor's for next season at the minute, so within the next few wk's things could be looking up. I've signed with UltimateProBmx which consists of Myself, LP and Tre Whyte. The team wagon's should be pretty slick with sofa's, games consoles and big TV's!!!

Hope everyone has a good christmas and new yr
