Seasons News Update Exclusive

Sunday, April 20th, 2008

The showing of Seasons at Sheffield will also include Roam!, as they are both films about 35-40 minutes long, and there will be a short making of documentary in between.

We are also reliable informed that (HRH) Steve Peat will be making a personal appearance with some of his team mates and answering a few questions from the audience at the end of the showing, provided ‘things go to plan’.

Get them tickets booked!!!

Monkeyspoon.com jerseys

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

As Nicky said we (Nicky, Shane and myself) have been looking into getting some custom monkeyspoon jerseys sorted. We have been looking for jerseys to get everything printed onto. And as the idea is that we get a good number of jerseys ordered so that everyone can have one, if they so wish. I thought it would be a good idea to put a poll together, so that we could vote what we thought the best jerseys were.

The idea is to get Monkeyspoon, Just sharing the ride across the front (two lines) and then a logo and maybe rider name across the back. However, this still has not been 100% decided so ideas are welcome.

Right these are the Jerseys we have selected;
1.Troy Lee L/S Moto Jersey ‘08, details here. Obviously would have to rethink the front design but Troy Lee stuff always looks good.
2.Fox Attack, details here
3 Fox Attack L/S Black , details here
4 Fox Attack L/S White/Grey , details here

When voting please consider price as well as looks, would you be willing to pay that price. In addition, we still need to factor in the costs of printing, Both Josh and Nicky has been told about a place near Je James but as of yet we don’t know the price of printing. But before we order anything we will obviously get this sorted. If you have another ideas/thoughts please leave a comment below.

Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

2 and a bit birds, 1 stone.

Exams are but a few weeks away, which means revision is looming and encroaching on riding time. However mother nature is being kind at the moment and giving us ridable light until late in the evenings. So I have been riding quite regually mainly with Jeff. We sessioned the brinks road DH track on Sunday & Monday (yes we pulled our fingers out of our arses and got out riding).

Shane doing a small drop @ black rabbit

On Tuesday I headed up Pindale with Jeff, Shane & Ben. We had a pretty good time playing on rollers and a tricky rock section some where halfway up the quarry face, only Shane made it through and he did so by endowing on slippy jagged rocks, nice. We sessioned a small drop and scouted a maybe doable gap jump which would look awesome on film. With all the playing we only had time for a couple of runs. On the last run Jeff took some photos. It was about 8.30 and pretty much dark. Jeff kindly got his flash out and blinded us leaving us to blindly hold on for dear life down the rock track.

Nicky riding down black rabbit

Yesterday (Wednesday) me and johnny headed up to the quarry above the millstone. We didn’t ride but did some digging. The old hip is rebuilt some roller drops have been rebuilt and we built a gap drop which is quite big. Should be good for a session some time soon (maybe after exams or one evening).

On other news, there are rumors of some spangly monkeyspoon.com jerseys! (talk to Irwin if you are interested in one, the current idea is to base them around sombrio jerseys).

Seasons to be shown in Sheffield at The Showroom!!!

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Seasons

The Collective’s new film, the highly anticipated ‘Seasons’, is to be shown in Sheffield at The Showroom, as part of the Tour of a number of cinemas across the UK before the film’s DVD release.

The Showroom is a great venue, it recently hosted ShAFF and is the largest independent cinema outside of London. The date for the showing is to be announced, so we’ll keep you updated. I expect it to will be sometime in May or possibly June. But if you can’t wait that long the UK Premier is to be held at Prince Charles Cinema, London, on the 30th of April.

It is hoped the film will include some of the footage The Collective shot of (HRH) Steve Peat on the No Human Course at Wharncliffe.

We (at Monkeyspoon) are very proud to have been asked to help promote the event, and are also very excited to have been given access to the Seasons website’s Press/Media section, which amongst other things features some amazing high quality stills by photographer Sterling Lorence.

We’ve set up a page with some of beautiful promotion images and more information about the film and venue. So check out the Seasons @ Sheffield page in the Videos section.
