… Plain Lazy have been going to Boardmasters in newquay for donkey’s years and this year is no exception, we have a stall where we are selling our goodie bags which include all sorts of things from t-shirts to posters for only £10. You can also laze about on our massive indoor / outdoor bean bags in the bar on site and at the Unleashed festival.
Come and have a looksee.

I recently did a mountain bike race along the South Downs Way which is 100 miles of off road. I had an accident after 15 miles but kept going and finished.

It took 14 hours of continuous pain and riding and the heat was unbearable, it was definitely the hardest ride I have ever done. The ride was the equivalent of climbing mount Snowden 3 times, i don’t want to see another hill for a long time.

A big thanks to every body who sponsored me and it’s still not to late if you haven’t already. Just Giving.

This is awesome, nearly as good as Dark Knight…

… congratulations to Rob and David Smith who finished 7th and 11th respectively at the Downhill Champs. They also got 2nd and 3rd at the Welsh downhills recenently so they’re on a roll, excuse the pun!
Here’s a little vid from the Welsh Champs in deepest darkest Mynydd Du which has a little bit of the guys flying past.

… following the London to Brighton cycle I’ve been continuing to cycle from Brighton to Lewes (Plain Lazy warehouse). This morning I went a different route over the downs. I cycled up to Ditchling Beacon - which is the killer hill in the cycle, although when the Tour de France were in England they did it three times and apparently it’s not long enough to be graded as a hill - anyway… it’s mostly downhill to Lewes and has some awesome views over the sea towards Brighton and the other way towards London. It’s the best way of starting the day! Move to the country, it’s far more chilled and relaxing way of life.

… taking photos of kids for 6 hours! They say never work with kids or animals, I think we experienced both as we tried to shoot the new Lazy Baby and Plain Lazy kids ranges! We had salad everywhere for the new print “Salad Dodger” and kids screaming and falling over props like skateboards. I’ll pop a bit of video up of the mayhem on Monday, for now I’m knackered and need a beer and a sleep. Have a great weekend.

… we’ve just added paddling to our roster of sports and who better to take on than the current European champion Lowri Davies. She says on her blog… “I’ve just had the very exciting news that I’ve landed a sponsorship deal with Plain Lazy and their sister company Lazy Lady. As a company I’ve admired for years, for both cool clothes and commendable ethics, I am totally stoked!

Here she is training the European Championships which are happening next week.
Good luck Lowri.

I’ve been eagerly anticipating the launch new eletric skateboards ever since I met Nick the star of the video, the founder and designer last summer at Boardmasters… it’s the ultimate way to get around. The electric skateboard scence is still relatively unknown and one of Skate Electric’s missions is to legalise the electric skateboard in the UK’s cities just like the electric bike which uses the same motor and batteries etc.. Its still a grey area right now for the police, as the electric skateboard has not been outlawed like the Go Ped etc…. it’s also green.

New boards will be available in August.
