I have alot to update about, but im not sure where to begin! This week has been amazing. Training went well throughout the week so no complaints there. Went out to Prunedale and rode in great weather. The track has changed and I like it. A few things are wrong but they will fix them up and it will be way better than before! Ok, so over the past few weeks I have been thinking of doing some things I would never ever dream of. After seeing what happened to Steven Murray it made me realise that I have try new things and push my own barriers on a day to day basis. I am scared of heights and really wanted to see if I could overcome the fear and try and test myself mentally more than anything else. 15 minutes away from Joeys house is a skydive centre so I looked into it and really thought this could be the answer. Cut a long story short, I went through with it and managed to do something I never thought possible...the WORLDS HIGHEST TANDEM SKYDIVE at 18,000ft. I have never been so scared but at the same time felt the satisfaction of overcoming such a thing. Breathtaking is the only word. It such a great feeling and I would advise anybody to do it! Check my Album for pics! Also, I went to San Jose and had my 1st tattoo. I underestimated the pain level for sure. It hurt like hell! I had to do it all in one sitting which wasnt to nice, but i didnt fancy going back home with half a tattoo.I wanted something that meant something to me so bmx was an obvious choice. It has been my childhood and will hopefully be something I can continue to do for a long time. I go home on Tuesday and Im really excited. It has been a long time since i saw my family and girlfriend. I have loved every minute of my trip here to the U.S and cant wait to come back. I definetely owe the Bradford family so much! Thanks a lot. Cheers, Liam.
