From deepest, darkest Wales (in the UK, dudes...) comes our latest Rider of the Month... MATTI HEMMINGS.
Matti has been rolling flat for around 4 years now, and has a real nice style, full of flow and pump.
He also has a (fairly) unique way of creating grips... "it´s just inner tubes that have popped. Ha-ha, yes it´s true, I put inner tube around my handle bars."
Matti has a great sense of humour, and a positive spin on life, so enjoy the article, folks.

Can anyone explain how to put tubes as grips?
I want to try, but I don't understand how to put it together. Also they are slippery and you can't put them right on bar, must be some duck tape under...
Anyone?

I would explain but last I saw him he was still using tennis racket tape for grips. ;D
Well done Matti, I shall see you soon again for another session.
