Prepare yourself for the biggest BMX jam ever in Northern Ireland. Unit 13 in association with Monster Energy and Belfast Urban Sports present the ‘Wind yer neck in Jam’. Beer, Bands and BMX will be the flavour of the day.
Hey folks just uploaded pics from the last couple of events we have been at filming and taking shots, you can get them all on our MySpace or on our Facebook Profile.
The first ones are from the Viking Boat Race @ Cutters Wharf back on Sunday 3rd May, was a bangin’ sunny day (eventually!!) and Cutters was jumping, these are just a handful of some shots we got whilst messing about.
The second lot are from the Casino Royale charity event @ Da Vinci’s Hotel in Derry last Wednesday night. We are also putting a loop together of what we filmed from the night to go on the internal screens in the hotel, so if you’re up that way call in and have a nosey!
Our May newsletter went out at the start of the week and has a whole host of stuff letting you know what we have been up to, what we are gonna get up to and more importantly what we can get up to if you call in the Pit Crew.

Yes thats write the Pit Crew will be down at the Northern Whig in Belfast City Centre all day Thursday to catch all the action from this year’s Miss Belfast competition. The main event kicks off at 8.30 pm with a drinks reception. We are filming as part of our on-going work with the Uber cool geezers at Corona and with our new friend Michelle McTiernan who was instrumental in the Plus Size Models search. When we get the pics back I will post a few up here and put a link up to our myspace & gallery where you can see them all.
After a few weeks of location shooting craziness we have managed to find the ying to go with the yang here at Pit HQ, needless to say after all that filming there was gonna be a shedload of editing to do, and there is…
OK so I think the title may be a bit misleading but hold on and i’ll explain what the hell we are up to now.
First off the Magners Spring into Summer event was fantastic. St. George’s market looked really well and the whole feel of the gig was great. We got some great footage of the plus size girls and I am really looking forward to piecing it all together for the video now. I will be posting a link to the finished promo video when it is all wrapped up.
And now for something completely different… This Sunday (29.03.09) sees the first installment of ‘Dirty Bitches’ [part 1], in association with Belfast Urban Sports, at a secret location in Belfast. Basically all the best BMX & MTB riders are gonna be there for some outrageous dirt jumping. The Pit Crew will be there to catch all the action for anybody not priveleged enough to know where the f**k it is happening. Stay tuned and I will be posting links to virals of some of the best of the action next week.
Peace

Not sure I have mentioned it enough but the Plus Size Models search last week was a really great event. The turn out was far more than was to be expected and the atmosphere all day was fantastic, the girls all really had an enjoyable day and we enjoyed being there filming all afternoon and evening.
Tomorrow evening @ St. George’s market the top three girls from last Wednesday’s compteition will be taking to the stage as part of the Magners Spring into Summer fashion event. The event starts at 8pm and is a ticket only affair as far as I am aware. The Pit Crew will be there following our plus size models as they get ready to strut their stuff on stage and we will be adding this to the already fantastic footage we have got from the last two weeks.
There will be a video of the whole event to follow next month so keep your eyes peeled as everyone at Square Pit feels proud to be involved in the first event of this kind in Northern Ireland, and we hope to see it back next year both bigger & better and with SP involved even more.

Last night the Pit Crew was down in Annalong Co. Down at the fantastic Glassdrumman Lodge for a charity dinner with the Co. Down team from ITV’s Taste of the Nation. The guys from Down made it to the semi-finals of the all UK cook off competition and were very unlucky not to get any further. To celebrate this success and also the great food products available in Northern Ireland the team cooked their final menu for a group of select guests at Glassdrumman last night, along with wine to accompany each course & a champagne reception. However the real reason for being there was an auction to the guests for the Co. Down team to come and cook at home for the winning bidder with all the proceeds going to the NSPCC. £3,500 was raised in the end, with a winning bid of £2,500 which is absolutely fantastic! Square Pit were providing a live stream of the all the goings on the kitchen directly into the reception area, to help give the guest an idea of what it takes for a bunch of amateur chefs to prepare for a party of 20.
Tomorrow night in the Chelsea Wine Bar on Belfast Lisburn road Marina Rinaldi clothes shop & Corona Extra will be hosting the first ever model competition of this kind in Northern Ireland. Julian Simmons will be hosting the evening which will see six local women compete for the crown. The winner will then go on to strut their stuff on the catwalk at the Magners Spring into Summer event @ St. George’s market on the 25th of March. The Pit Crew will be there all day and all evening capturing every aspect of the event and then at St George’s for Spring into Summer as well. We will then be creating a personalized video for the winner as well as an event video to help promote what has the potential to be something really cool in the coming years.
