The Death Of A Scene - Saffron Walden

"People have moved away, got jobs, started doing drugs, the usual story..."

4 Feb 2016

A Video montage from 2011-2015 by Luke Petty

This came through from UK rider Toby Martin with his personal perspective on the demise of his local scene. If anything it should serve as a reminder to be grateful for your local scene while you've got it. Looks like it was great while it lasted at at least and hopefully others are still carrying the torch. Featuring: Jamie Stamp, Jamie Simmons, Jed Newman, Cam Harris, Charlie Collins, Oliver Sandles, Chris Cook and Toby Martin.

"I'm feeling all nostalgic after watching my friend put the best clips from the last five years of BMX at Saffron Walden (yeah that place with the really gnarly bowl) together. I wanted to send this over as I've never been more proud to have been a part of something so sick. The scene, as you've probably guessed from the overly dramatic title, is gone. People have moved away, got jobs, started doing drugs, the usual story... And just like usual i'm going to say that these were the best years of the park... yadda yadda yadda. Either way, it's VX, it's black and white, it totally bites Anthem's style, I think it's fucking awesome and i just want to spread that stoke." - Toby Martin
