Barney Marsh takes the word ‘career’ literally, veering wildly across the road of his life, as thoroughly in control as a goldfish on the dashboard of a motorhome.
He’s been, with varying degrees of success, a scientist, teacher, shop assistant, binman and, for one memorable day, a hospital laundry worker. These days, he’s a dad, husband, guitarist, and writer, also with varying degrees of success. He sometimes takes photographs. Some of them are acceptable.
Occasionally he rides bikes to cast the rest of his life into sharp relief. Or just to ride through puddles. Sometimes he writes about them. Bikes, not puddles.
He is a writer of rongs, a stealer of souls and a polisher of turds.
He isn’t nearly as clever or as funny as he thinks he is.

Laser cock. He should say Laser cock.
Skids are for kids…….
I thought that too!
Yay. Teach everyone to skid around corners in the name of endura radness. Prat.
By ‘eck, it were quick though…
Brake before the corner! Now they’re telling us to skid round corners….. Confused
I wish some of these pro’s would film their tips on UK muddy trails rather than a dusty smooth French one.
At trail centres, corners are very rarely too tight to steer round normally, plus almost all if them are berms. But old trails in Europe sometimes have corners that are tighter than the bike’s turning circle, so you either skid or get off & push!
Posts with skids are the 2nd most controversial after no helmet posts?!
