Hello all!
A huge thanks for all the guys that turned up yesterday in Bristol for the ITV West News segment! Especially Graham for organising things and choosing a great venue, if not a little on the breezy side. Took a while for my fingers to come back to me!
I can't believe how much fun I had taking part and i'm looking forward to having another go for sure. Such a strange feeling at first and then after normal walking seems a bit lame! it was great to have expert tuition too as i felt really confident learning and soon felt like i was getting somewhere with it. Feels really good when you get the bounce right, but also made me realise how crazy some of the jumps the other guys were doing!!
Overall it was a great experience, with great people and hopefully the footage tonight on ITV West news between 6 and 6:30 will show that. I will try and upload a link here on the weekend for people outside of the West's coverage.
Simon the producer with the Glidecam has just uploaded some of the pictures for you to download and look at. I will also try and post a few on here if you don't beat me to it.

Thanks again and hopefully I will see some of you again this year!
