DIRTY SOUTH

So Ive been pretty slack with the updates but some of you will have seen me out on my travels. Ive just got back from 10 days in the south island, doing some work for Quietchaos and riding bikes. Highlights were the new Queenstown MONSTER bowl (sorry no pics) it makes Melville in Hamilton look like childs play, riding awesome trails in a place (that is to be kept secret but check the pic below to get amped for some digging!), hitting the Dunedin park, heaps of people hate on this place but I dig the old school bowl, not the prettiest thing but its fun all the same, then of course the Shredathon jam in Wanaka and lots of riding with the Christchurch crew, and a bunch of other southerners, oh and Michael from Belgium tore it up in NZs funnest bowls.
All in all a sweet trip and some good times, thanks to James (trubmx) for organising the jam and giving me a place to stay!
Here are some pics:




pics: top- the secret spot. 2nd row l to r: Dan boosting in the mini ramp, Asher airing and Robbie chillin, Wanaka park, Asher Vader, Asher Look back, RevolutionNZ Sam whipping, Michael boosting, bottom row - Michael chilling, and Michael boosting again.

I shot a bunch of video over the few days in Wanaka so keep an eye out for that in the next week.

oh yeah, I just stole a link to a News Paper story from the RevolutionNZ site HERE

BUTCHERS BASH

Last weekend some of the Hamilton crew that wasn't already drinking Barrel 51, followed up on a txt sent out by Jed Mildon to go to Butchers place and Crunk and ride Mini ramp at the flat before it has to be taken down (due to many complaints from the annoying nabours). So here are some of the photos I got of the weekend while I was stranded at Butchers with a dead phone, an EFTPOS card which I didnt know the number to, No food and but a working camera.

HAWERA SKATEPARK

Troy Swan from Taranaki sent in a few photos of the nearly finished Hawera park, this park looks absolutely amazing and bowl looks like its going to be so much fun! The bowl varies from 5 - 7 foot and looks like its got a bit of an over vert capsule type thing going on? The street section of the park is going to be big too, packed with ledges and wedges. Troy also mentioned that the local riders and 02project are going to organize a jam there sometime this summer, ill keep you posted with more info on that.. should be a fun time!



Thanks for the photos Troy.
