Gan tae Caert!

In October of...last year...we embarked on the first ever dsab tour. It was great. We rode our bikes, got really drunk, Pete got arrested, good honest times. Point being that after all this time and three failed attempts at an actual hearing aswell as countless wasted hours of sitting around waiting like dicks it gives me great pleasure to announce that Pistol Pete is a free man! HOORAH!

His lawyer was old and wise like that owl in Winnie the Pooh and he used his wicked knowledge to save our Ginger kitten in the knick of time! Holler mr.Lawyer. We also had a rad stay at Leith's house cheers for that buddaaay and remember to buy stronger poppers next time! I can't really remember what else happened, Pete's not guilty (of this offense anyway) and that's the main thing. Check the pics...

20twentystore, no Longer a Bore

capn colin nov04

Indeed it is not as Jonny Mingo has kindly agreed to sell the dsab Choose Freestyling t-shirts in his delightful 20twenty store in Transition-Extreme skatepark in Aberdeen. Wow gee thanks mister! There is currently limited stock available so make sure you get those grubby little Aberdonian mitts down there sharpish and get the one you're after. (aswell as being forced into 7 extra sales at the ruthless hands of Mingo)

To celebrate this occasion we stopped by the shop whilst returning from court to shoot some promotional photos...with a phone. Sorry, an i-phone. Have a look...

Disco Stu likes disco music...

capn colin. oct24 (3 updates)

nearly as much as he likes filming for mega banging, clanging, schlonging web edits or 'webits' as is the grammatically correct term. It was on hold for pointless reasons but fuck that shit because it's here now and my goodness me is it good! (Note: I hope it's good to be honest. I'm so sick of looking at the clips over and over again whilst editing that they've lost all meaning to me now) So yeah WOW and GNARLY let's get fuckin TUBULAR with dsabs very own cock munching fag bag, Mr Stuart McBoyle...of the disco variety. *VIMEO VERSION*

Livi Jam in Ride UK

capn colin. oct24

Well if that title doesn't give you a clue then you're fucked pal. Give up on life now. Before you do that though, pop on out to the local corner store and pick up RideUK Issue no:133 and turn to page 130 to read all about this years Livi BMX jam. If this rejuvenates your lust for life and riding (which it almost definately will) then get back online and watch the promo vid we put out before it and the jam vid that team rider AlexD put out after it. Haw Murray! Where's my money? You're worse than Barbara btw.

What is the Story?

capn colin. oct24

With the infamous Si Gibb of Aberdeenshire? He was pictured here on the dsab website last update in a dsab t-shirt and mere hours later it develops that he's been dropped from his main, and might I add totally mince, sponsor bsD!?!! There's alot of speculation that Si kicked fuck out of Grant Smith and also threatened to 'legit all over his face' at the upcoming bsd jam if he didn't deliver Simons signature hair straighteners in time. Rumours also suggest that Grant had poked aff Simons burds muff as a further act of malice against the young BMXer. All of this is pretty hectic right now but Si has promised me a full, unedited interview for next week/months update to clear up any confusion in the worldwide BMX media. Wow, total exclusive shit.

Back in Black...and White and Blue

capn colin. oct08 (2 updates)

You had better believe it kids! After lieing to you again (which you probably deserve anyway) about the new dsab tees always being in stock when they were never going to be, they finally are! I'm pretty sure that last sentence makes sense absolutely none all at.

Point is the Choose dsab t-shirts are back in stock and selling at the ludicrously amazing price of only £7.00! You know the drill by now, small, medium, large and the odd XL in black, white and blue. Get on over to the merchandise page or send me an e-mail order by clicking right about...here to get your hands on arguably the coolest BMX t-shirt in town.

Another Month Goes By...

capn colin. oct08

...and there's been fuck all on the site. Not alot has been happening in fairness with the gayest weather in history plus constant punctures and the sad fact that my shite but working camera now does not work. So aye, 'not working' is the current status hence not even any shite party pics to post.

Anywho terrible Tom Simpson is still off his bike after the Livi Jam ankledeath-orama injury but hopefully he should be back whipping to the frame and unneccessarily bitch cranking at everything in no time! Tom sent me some pictures of himself recovering whilst 'playing the computer'. (Translation: 'taking a quick pause from his furious and violent masturbation sessions over guy porn to pretend he's playing the computer')

Get well soon Tommy!

Under 'Wraps'

capn colin. sep03. 5.45pm

It has been incredibly difficult to keep this a secret from the BMX world for so long but if you also reside in the stoner world, you may already know what i'm talking about. I am of course referring to the dsab personal roach. Roach you say? Indeed I do.

For the non-smokers/ignoramuses of the world the 'roach' is the thin piece of cardboard which is rolled into a cylinder to form the filter at the end of a rolled up cigarette or 'jynt'. Certain rolling paper companies give you these roach with the skins and also include wacky drawings and slogans to keep you entertained whilst getting 'pure baked'.

Now you and your friends can get pure baked in style with your very own dsab roach! Fuckin Holla!

The dsab roach appears throughout the Headquarters papers and makes an appearance on the infamous Highlander skins aswell. Keep your bloodshot, slanty eyes peeled for these bad boys which are available all across the country. Toke the fuck on and gee it some spice.

Adios Senior Hamham

capn colin. sep03. 5.09pm

It has finally happened. Hamish 'Hamham' Hamilton has left the dsab TeamSpice. After many threatening threats and hilarious lies, this time it's for real. The shocking news came a few weeks back now but since it's clearly not important I didn't bother to tell you.

The infamous upsidedown headed, Knobend of the Year 2008 winning, Nazi appreciating, bike Hammeriting, soul destroying, weird accented bastard that we've all came to know and hate dramatically left the team through the power of text message and has decided to move away from BMX superstardom to pursue a career in OAP Mountain Biking. Watch out MacAskill!

We at dsab (except Hoff) would like to thank Hamish for all his hard work and commitment to the team over the years and wish him all the best in whichever path he follows.

On the right you'll find Ham's section from '4 Inches of Vert' and you might maybe possibly see a short farewell edit from Ham in the coming weeks.

Stay tuned for new dsab team members...soooooooooon.

Chate Face Hairdoo

capn colin. jul30. 9.44pm

Hahahahahahahahairdooooo! Look at the absolute state of everyone's favourite superstar pro, Chate Face Disco McHairdoo Cooper Halfords Stu. Thats what it says on his birth certificate by the way.

This monstosity of a 'haircut' cost Stu £7.00. The all new dsab t-shirt also costs £7.00. Now, which one will make you look cooler in the long run? That's right, get on over to the Merchandise page and snap one up before they're all gone.

The nearly video is also coming along nicely so check out another snippet/trailer/scrap edit of the disc in the dark then come back here and laugh at his hair.

Small Interview

capn colin. jul23. 7.00pm

It's actually a fair sized interview but the weeness comes from none other than everyones favourite midget film maker, Tiny Alvin.

'Wee Alex' as he is sometimes known is a video making, Vimeo owning, bike shredding, arm breaking, car stealing, smack injecting crazy horse and here at dsab we like that kinda pish.

So, here it is, the Mini Alan interview...

FIX

capn colin. nov04 (2 updates)

So it turns out that what we all expected to be true, is true. This years Bsd Jam was fixed from the word go. Grant Sm*th took on the roll of Simon Cowell as his Leona Lewis minions took to hall2 of Unit23 skatepark. (Hall2 btw, whos pish idea was that?) They performed probably worse than everyone else but still went home victorious and safe in the knowledge that they could not have lost with emporer Sm*th in charge and Sgt.Potato heid running the awards!

Apart from that though it was pretty awright. Some of the highlights for me were Paul Chapman in general and especially his backside bonelesses. WOOFT SON! Disco Cooper was in good company as his two English twin brothers made the trip north to visit. Here's Disco with his zebra based buddy, James Hitchcox, and he was later seen taking 2nd place in the bowl comp with huge 3 no handers and some double whip taps aswell. Amazing skills Disco el bean! Tom got on the mic, I lost and then re found my weed, Chaz Mailey did one of the coolest bowl lines i've ever seen, Young Katman (dressed as a cat no less) pulled a wild wallride to no hander gap, new secret-only-half-been-announced-barely team rider Alex Donnachie took the 'Street Rider of the Year' title away and ex-nazi-bald-cracksack-pinkbike-loving-hammerite boy Hamish Hamham took home the greatly desired 'Knobend of the Year' award for the second year running!

And that's all.

Livi Jam Alive

capn colin. nov04

Whilst perusing the threads of BMXinScotland recently I happened to come across 3 lovely pictures taken by Fre'ethewee'd Murray of Katman riding at this years Livi Jam! These snaps had not made last months magazine article but my oh my they are still legit as fuck. I then luckily found a sequence, shot by the delightful Mr.Frazer Watt, of possible team rider Si Gibb doing a grind to hop over gap at the very same jam! Well, I thought to myself, looks like I can steal me another dsab update! Hence that is exactly what I have done.

Together we are Stronger!

capn colin. oct24 (1 update)

There's alot of vicious rumours and lies surrounding the dsab teamspice at the moment and all will soon be revealed. For now, some of the news will be revealed. As you can see below I am quite clearly standing next to a sweaty sword. Not just any sword but THEE Sword, Paul Donnachie, new dsab team member! Any of you who know the Sword will know just how rad he is on a bike and just how much he can party like fuck. Aka: Pure perfect! An exciting and magical period is about to begin in the history of dsab and Mr. Donnachie here is the first piece of the puzzle. Welcome friend, may your days be filled with happiness from now on.

Paul's team profile page and mini welcome edit will be up really, really, really soon. Defo 100% soon...........ish.

Cheers to Livi Lewis for the pics.

The Dirty SWINE!

capn colin. oct08 (1 update)

Yep you all already know who i'm talking about, Simon 'Emo-poof-beezer-legit teeth' Gibb has been up to his old tricks again. The BSd superstar recently visited the dsab HQ and spent most of his time filming with myself for a rather bangin edit around the streets of East Glasgow. Get ready for this one when it lands. Si was on a mission to prove he's still got the skills after a recent barrage of abuse from his so called 'Team Leader' G**** Smi*h. AKA: Cunt Lips to his friends. The abuse and torment has reached a new level of visciousness as of late and Si is not the type of chick to simply lay back and take it like a bitch. He's out to prove a point and get revenge. Watch your back BSd, the straighteners are about to hit the fan.

Coverage

capn colin. sep03. 7.20pm

This months RideUK magazine is out in the shops and features some of your favourite dsab superstars!

Turn to the Hard dad roadtrip story on page 60 and check out everyones favourite proster Disco Stu looking like a miserable wank in his Halfords house with his obligatory pro buddy. Terrible tailwhip Tom also makes an appearance with a big ol' bad ass carve at the Crieff dam. Damn it's a nice pic...you see what i've done there? Genius.

In fairness you don't really need to check the mag as i've put the pictures up here on the site so just move your eyes bout 3 inches to the left and check them out there.

I've also stuck/stolen up the pic of Small Andrew firing down a rather large McLong rail. Mainly to fill space. Otherwise I wouldn't have bothered. Ooh barely.

Whats with the Lack of Updates?

capn colin. sep03. 7.00pm

I've moved back out of my maws house and, oddly enough, in with my eldest sister! I now live out in Dennistoun near the rest of the Glasgow buffters and have taken some time to adjust to the extra working hours and general house crap i've had to undertake. Never fear though kids and kidettes as the dsab band wagon is on the roll again and ready to blow your world with yet another new t-shirt design and some brand new team members lined up aswell. Watch this space. Well, not exactly this space right here but the website in general, ken?

Check my pad on the left and also my hunky legs.

Dumfries BMX 'Jam' Rundown

capn colin. jul30. 9.58pm

Can't be arsed starting another post so i'll put it here. On your immediate left is English Andy Shlabagah with a delightful 360 X-up out of the Airdrie big bowl. I took the picture and have been meaning to put it up for a wee while now. Nice shotts Andy.

So aye the jam. Wasn't much of a jam really. More of a sesh. A gid sesh none the less. Sound.

Myself and Ham made the trip down south to Dumfries which, by the way, is fuckin mega south! I started looking for a red and white stripey pole...no...not a barbers, the Sou..nevermind.

Unfortunately the turnout was pretty low due to the park being so far away from civilisation and opposable thumbs but the locals held on tight and got through the day with some bad ass stunts and laughter. A guy named Adam was easily my favourite rider on the day. Crankflip to sprocket to pegs to crankflip roll-in. Delightful trickery. The park is small but fuckin awesome so if you're ever down near that way (doubtful) then make a point of checking that shit out. Only a few of them but have a gander at the pics down below. HOLLA!

Dumfries BMX Jam

capn colin. jul23. 7.61pm

It's all there on the flyer! The jam is happening this Saturday so make the trip and help make this a rad ass wee jam. As you can see we are sponsoring the jam and we're keeping our fingers crossed for good weather and good times. For more info click on the flyer and find the thread on the BMX in Scotland forum.

The pressure is on Cons the Big man...will you truly be the big man? Let us find out on Saturday. HOLLA!

Pete the Traitor

capn colin. jul23. 7.22pm

Pedro Pete G has turned to the dark side after snapping his last frame and is now rocking and cocking a *gag* bsd frame. Pete says his riding has automatically become worse due to the frame and he thinks it might explode at any given second. Not crack or break...actually explode. Watch this space.

Grant Smith was quoted as saying, 'Haha i'm a pure cunt.'

I'm quite sure everyone will agree with him on that one. Despite Pete's clearly delusional mind set he will remain on the dsab Team Spice due to being ginger and heavy mental. Pics Below.

Ham Solo Jam

capn colin. jul23. 7.16pm

Click on that there link down below or this one right here to check out a short edit of Hamish pulling some stunts at Evolution in Saltcoats a few weeks back. Skillz.

Rollin on 20's Update

capn colin. jul13. 7.55pm

First things last we finally have a few pictures of Hoff's bike! Hoff is back on his newly painted bike after a recent ankle injury and for a very brief period was running two brakes! In this current bmx climate?!

I got some pics but he had only just taken the brakes off in order to blast round Livi so deal wae that. (pics below)

Ham on the other hand is nowhere near as cool as Hoff.

It was true for a short while that Ham had scrapped his BMX and was riding around like a fuckin fairy on a mountain bike of all things! Things have, technically, gotten worse.

Hamish can now be seen rolling around the streets and dusty paths of Ayr on some sort of purple McPoof fashion fag machine! (see below) It is infact so horrible that I think we'd all be better off if he returned to the mountain bike scene because let's be honest, ANYTHING is cooler than that monstosity of a 'BMX'.

Thin ice pal, thin ice.

Picz at the Park

capn colin. jul13. 5.31pm

On your right is a picture I took with Zak Gillougley's 

camera at the skatepark the other day. This is Airdrie local Calum with a nae hander to be proud of.
