I used to think he was alright (albeit extremely cheesy and not really my cup of tea), and thought it was a bit daft that people were leaving Stranger because he got put on the team, but following his latest comments he seems quite knobbish. I like Josh James (Boqer), at least he has a sense of irony.

For those of us who are hipster BMX nerds Hickerson has a strong claim to be crowned most talented rider of the mid to late 2000s.

Just nice to see a trailer that isn't a summary of the entire film.

Enjoying the moaning in here. I wouldn't say no to another pair of Shovelhand grips.

I don't know how he manages to land flat so smoothly. Good stuff.

Somewhat connected to this subject, I find it a bit miserable that a sizeable proportion of top guys can't get their lives outside of riding sorted out.

So many amazing riders don't seem to have much foresight about what they're going to do after they get dropped. Respect to Eli Platt for winding things down and planning ahead.

One size fits all PR/advertising/marketing account director at a large comms consultancy. Being 'creative', we have an entirely free bar in the office and all of the open plan, table tennis, hammock type of feel-good shit going on, which is alright.

My girlfriend is a surgeon in training and fuck me does it make me have days thinking 'what do I actually do' or visions of leaving the firm to go and chop trees down or build something, it is comical how different our respective 'bad day at work' stories are.

I can completely relate to this - our respective companies almost certainly have dealings with each other, I work for PR agencies and departments. Sadly we don't have as the same amount of perks but it's still a chilled out place to work. The PR world is such bullshit that I refuse to get stressed, compared to farming it's a joke. Half the job of a PR is to justify their existence to the wider company... Anyway, one day I'll do something useful.

I work in media analysis. Bit too close to PR for my liking.

I went home last weekend and did some harvest work for my parents (who are farmers). Felt good to do real work again.

It's a shame Paulie and Jame$ stopped posting, I remember getting absolutely ruined by them when I first signed up, then eventually getting some nods of agreement once I wound my neck in.

BPN seemed to be in a perpetual state of simmering rage.
