Good

Jimmy’s Iced coffee…

Other brands of the ice cool refreshing coffee drink are available but in the last 7 days I can’t get enough of the Jimmy’s original blend. Perfect for any occasion and great before or after a ride!

Online Sport’s Series ‘ that have taken off in 2013

We see a lot of mountain bike videos at MoreDirt. Some are good and some are bad but without doubt the ones that have stood out for us throughout the year are the likes of CRC/Nukeproof’s #OneTheHunt, Life Behind Bars, This is Peaty and even On Pace with Pastrana. We love the videos that go even a small way into taking us behind the scenes of what goes in top sportsmen and women’s lives.

My highlight so far this year goes to the Ratboy episode of This is Peaty. You can enjoy it again in it’s full glory here!

This is witout doubt some of the best content online and I for one hope we see loads more of this type of thing into the 2014 season and beyond!

Bad

Being scared absolutely witless at the Tulleys Farm Shocktober.

At MoreDirt we share our office space near Exeter with a web company and online ticket service provider. Last weekend we we’re lucky enough to get invited along to Tulley’s Farm for the opening of the Shocktober festival with the guys at Digitickets who sorted all the online ticketing…

It was one of the funniest nights we’ve had away with all the other guys in a very long while and I’ll be the first to admit I was absolutely terrified throughout the majority of the attractions and consequently I don’t think my dreams have been the same since last Saturday night!

If your in the South East and your looking for a night of unrivalled terror as live actors dressed as the kind of things you’ve only seen in your nightmares jump out as you walk around maze’s… Check out the Shocktober fest and see what it’s all about!

Car park warfare.

This week I was put through some of the most intense version of this said warfare I’ve ever experienced. The hospital car park in Exeter... A frequent haunt for the elderly and people much like myself who would almost certainly rather be elsewhere. But the question I would like to pose all road users out there… Is this really an excuse to forget all rules of the road, basic manners and car control?

We’ve all been there… Driving aimlessly around a car park waiting for a space to become free. You mouth the words from inside your car to a fellow parkee approaching their car to leave. “Are you leaving” for them to nod say yes. They will then sit with the engine running for at least 5 minutes while they blindly stare forward almost as if they’ve forgotten how to operate their vehicle.

Having absolutely zero Internet connection for the whole of Monday in the office.

Yep, If you thought Monday was a bit quiet with regards to updates on MoreDirt that’s because we had absolutely no internet in the office for the majority of the day. I muddled through catching up with offline stuff and getting a whole load of review writing done before eventually drawing the line and returning to work from home the rest of the day with a solid Wifi connection. Far from ideal!

Look out for a few more reviews to land on the site in the coming days!

We’ll have more 3 good/3 bad for you next Friday!
