This year saw the first VW show in Basingstoke (our home town) and theLAB were asked to sponsor the event, which we were more than happy to do.

It was a great day and probably one of the best VW Shows I’ve been to, maybe because I knew most the people that were there, maybe because it took me 5 mins to drive home, but either way the atmosphere was great and the range of cars was pretty impressive too. You could really tell some time and effort went into a lot of the cars that were there.

The whole event was to raise money for Naomi House & Jacksplace Charity – naomihouse.org.uk.
theLAB made a LTD Edition T-Shirt for the event in which half the money went to charity; which sold out so fast that we had to take special orders for some people to get them printed especially so we could raise as much as possible for such a good cause.

Naturally, I made an edit, because that’s what I do, and as it was my 3rd edit in the space of about a month and a half, after having nearly a year without filming anything. So I think I’ve stared through a viewfinder and at a computer screen enough for a while now. So enjoy this one; or else.

The weekend before Boardmasters this year, I got a phone call from Lil Man asking if I wanted to go down to Newquay to film the Pro Finals. I agreed to it, but as it got closer I realised that it would mean waking up at 3.30am on a Sunday to drive 210 miles, film a 3 hour contest, then drive back in traffic…. and also as it got closer, the weather decided to turn slowly…

Nevertheless, I still took the trip down (fuelled by Monster) with Lil Man after about 4 hours sleep and ended up getting home that night about 9pm. So I was pretty tired to say the least.

But after a 17.5 hour day, I saw some incredible riding, caught up with a load of people that I only really see at NASS or Boardmasters and I filmed a few clips, which I’ve handily put together into this edit.
