[Houdini]

Nice looking moves.  Bummer the film quality is gash.  The voice-over is divine...

[Paul B]

I'm sure it wont be too long before a decent quality video is put up on http://www.momentumvm.com/... Another good effort

[Houdini]

david woods went to school with me and now works at lees' brewery in middleton, worst beer in the world excepting the brew pub in squamish, obviously. he is also about 20 stone, the two facts are not entirely unrelated.
daniel woods lives in boulder, colorado, climbs very hard and weighs about 9 stone. the two facts are not entirely unrelated.

[a dense loner]

incredible looking climbing.

[Houdini]

The hi-res quality of the clips already present.  Joe's Valley.  I wish I hadn't seen that clip:  now I want to live there.

Black Lung looks amazing.

incredible looking climbing.

Damn right, the RH snatch/throw low down is great copy.

Interestingly Daniel Woods was at school with me and is a hairy, sweaty kayaker, although I have a feeling they may be different people.

[Houdini]

Get this: my dealer is called Dave Graham.

[BenF]

I'm not sure you should have posted that information.

[cofe]

quite by coincidence my barber is called Salavat Rakhmetov. where are we going with this?

anyway i'm always psyched to read about 5st 8 year olds climbing v16.

[saltbeef]

do their mothers know they're out there "free-climbing"? shouldn't they be in school?
I'm just jealous.

I once knew an Arnold Tyler who went out, for a time, with one Sophie Landman. If they had gotten married (which they didn't, the split coming after Arnold took a new job that meant he was working away a lot, and well things just didn't work out), and chosen to have a double barrelled surname, they would have been the Tyler-Landmans. Actually I'm making that up, but I don't believe Cofe had a barber called Salavat Rakhmetov either. If you've seen Cofe recently it's patently clear he doesn't have any barber, nevermind Salavat Rakhmetov, and anyway I'm pretty sure that when I met Salavat at a world cup in Birmingham he said his salon was in Brentford and was more of your hair and nails beauty outfit rather than a traditional barbers. No, the only hairdressers I know of in Sheffield run by people with climbing names is the one run by two brothers, Alex and Thomas Huber, and called, coincidentally enough, "Under Cuts".

Henry Barber used to have a nice little salon down Woodseats Road for a while, too. Right next to Peter Croft's smallholding, it were.

[r-man]

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Such is life at the cutting edge.

Uninterestingly there is a plantation in South Africa called Daniel Woods. It's inhabited by large stripy carniverous cats.

Actually there isn't.

[Houdini]

There's a Ray Wood in Yorks, isn't there?

[katy]

There's a Ray Wood in Yorks, isn't there?

No but ray is the number one elvis impersonator in the uk, even has the hair right

I once met a guy called Fover-caffeinated sugary drink company. Genius.

[matthew]

My old geography teacher was called Richard* Head... Harsh parenting...





*For those who may be foreign or slow, Richard is shortened to Dick.


& good effort to the youngster. Have to say the shouting on the video was all a bit american and distinctly unpleasant to my sensitive british ears.

[SA Chris]

I once met a bloke called Kenneth Tucky, I kid to you not.

Used to speak to a Fred West on the phone occasionally. Poor bloke.

[Mike Tyson]

Well, I have the amusing fortune to be called Mike Tyson, and I used to work with Martin Johnson and Dennis Taylor. Hows that for sporting heros!

Hugh Banner's angry sign writing workshop was just down the street, too. Banner Cross, I think.

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

Me and Mrs Obi have been chosing names for soon to be Ickle Obi 0.5.

Current fave for a boy: Full name, Ethelwolf Raoul Wilson, shortened to Wolf Raoul (you'd have to howl the middle name!)

Imagine the psychological damage you could do to a kid by cracking up every time you said the poor lads name.

Surely thats the main positive of being a parent though?

[Mike Tyson]

Back in my Cotswold Outdoor days, I was doing the end of day banking to find a cheque was used to pay for something. The name on the cheque was: B J Hardon. Made me chuckle lots.

I also went to school with a girl called Tracey Island.

[dave]

Believe it or not theres someone living in sheffield called Wednesday Adams. I don't know if they have a brother called Pugsley or not.

[GCW]

I once knew someone called Ivor Boner.  His best mate was Alek Rammin, some German I think.  They used to go out on the pull together on weekends.  Gotta admit, Boner & Rammin were a hit with the ladies.  Their other pal Willy Sagg was less of a hit.
sorry
On a serious note, a lad at my school was called Ewan Kinloch.  Any guesses on his nickname?

[Mike Tyson]

Nice.

A good friend of mine is called Ryan Adams. His namesake is a singer I think?

[Pantontino]

He certainly is, and his Heartbreaker album is the modern equivalent of Blood on the Tracks. Make sure you hear it, it's the real deal.

[Mike Tyson]

Will most certainly check it out, cheers.

And I went to school with someone called Richie Patterson

when i use to work for croydon council i took it upon myself to search the electoral register for such people.
i found several Wayne Kerrs, mike hunt etc.... but that is all pretty normal. so then i looked and found the members of status quo, but that isnt all i wanted!
i located a guy who had changed his name to Luke Skywalker (i shit you not) and three people called Elvis Presley.

i then upped my game and calculated the number of pupils in the current british education system called Vicky Pollard.
