Bruise & Brews

Words and artwork: Jon Gregory

It’s beating the odds. It’s almost going over the bars. It’s the multitude of near misses. It’s that part of the trail that caught you out. It’s that moment you survived total oblivion. It’s when you made the gap first time without thinking about it. It’s floating through the air. It’s speeding through the trees. It’s soaking in the views. It’s getting it wrong and hitting the ground hard. It’s fluid and unpredictable. It’s that search for the edge, that fine line between control and chaos, pushing the limits, testing the boundaries of skill and reaction. It’s that special place, that feeling it’s impossible to describe. The highly addictive buzz of living in the moment, of rolling the dice, of taking a chance and hoping for the best. It’s the bruises we carry back home with us when we get it wrong. It’s the stories we share and the memories that spring to mind with a brew in hand thinking about our next two-wheeled adventure.
