My Guy

Here's a quick squeezed in build for Andrew Buck.

I've wanted to build a Chino Racer for Andrew since relaunching the design. Having had such strong feedback from James Tanner on his CR name Toblerone, I was keen to get Andrew's take. With the relentless sh*tty conditions we're having in South West Britain, it wasn't too tricky to make time for an extra-curricular build.

The model is very different to the RB-JMCs that Andrew usually rides, giving more hold and directional stability. I've also gone with a free elastic rocker and restricted wheezy venting so it will be a very different ride for Andrew. At the very least, a good option for the big days but I'm really interested to hear the all round vibe Andrew gets from it. There is a possibility it's not for him... Let's see.. M

In terms of aesthetics, this mat has a navy deck, black grip and kind of desert colours for the logo. As you can see, the bottom has a camo-esque splattered tie dye type thing. I've recently switched to a new brand of dye and wanted to use up some left overs of the old stuff and Andrew was game. These splatter designs are what they sound like so pretty simple to do (excluding the steaming and washing) so mission accomplished.

As for the name, Andrew has Christened his mat "My Guy", the name he gave to his Lego men as a kid.

So My Guy is headed to Carp. It might be some time until we see swell at Rincon but Andrew will be ready when it arrives.

Have fun mate!

Cheers
