Notion Store Trip: Day 4 and 5 (Hastings)















We rocked up at our boy James Cox's place last night and were treated to cases of lager beer and a Van Homan platter. The Van Homan platter was designed and constructed by Alexis (James's missus) for the benefit of passing BMX'ers. It's a high quality buffet styled meal, served at a perfect quantity. The weather today sucked, windy and raining but we popped over to The Source ramps, we love that place so much, those guys know how to do BMX right. We managed to hit some spots as featured in the hit VHS "The Last Resort", it turned into a good day even if the weather was poor, everyone seemed to have a good session. We nipped over to Eastbourne so a few of the crew could get tattooed, again by Alexis, who's probably the best in the country at it. Fathead was particularly funny at this point, he came away with a Yorkshire rose. Joe got an attacking panther, Adam and George got art based things, they all looked really good. We didn't roll back in until late but we did manage to pop out for a swift pint before the old town's pub's closed for the night. Last day half the crew headed back with George, me, Adam and Fathead set off a couple of hours later after visiting 4Down for a while and sessioning the wooden park for abit before it gets torn down. The trip was so sick, super chilled UK jaunt. Dodging the weather was fun. We'll pop a web video up here real soon, thanks again to everyone who took care of us, we really appreciated it.. and thanks to everyone who came on the trip and repped Notion Store... word
