He was nice enough to send a bunch of photos through to me of himself and Louis Bolter killing the trails. The photos are so rad and the trails are so epic I decided to make a quick little gallery with the photos HERE. Make sure you check them out, there is some seriously killer photos in there.
Thanks for sending them in Caleb! HIP FLIP WHIP DIP Tuesday, September 29, 2009 Here is a photo of Alan M at the bmx.co.nz vic park jam fliping the hip into the bowl corner. The correct word for this is Bananas!! The reason being not only is it pretty nuts to flip that hip but Alan didn't realize to after it was the wrong way or him to spin?
 Thanks Heather for sending the photo in. MONDAYS PHOTO Monday, September 28, 2009TWO KILLER PHOTOS Sunday, September 27, 2009 These are two of the best photos I have seen in a while, Shot by Ryan Foley.

 LANGLANDS LAND Thursday, September 24, 2009 Paul Langlands sent me through this photo of the new jumps he has been building in his back yard over the last week. They should be dialed in and ride able in a few weeks. Looks like its going to be a pretty fun setup. Paul also mention that he might be planning a dirt jam there for sometime in Novemeber which will be rad!

  NEW JED JAM - MAINSTREET SESSION Tuesday, September 22, 2009 Friday the 27th of November, Jed Mildon is holding a jam/comp in Taupo. This is going to be a little different the previous Jed Jams.. Horomatangi St is going to be completely blocked off for the day and Jed is currently constructing a 6ft take off to a 7ft transition landing into a 7ft quarter. So basically the event is going to be a box jump to quarter battle out.... which means it will be a a constant battle / elimination between riders till it is down to only two riders... and one winner.. sounds rad and should make for an amazing event.
All ready there is a few confirmed international athletes for the event, and the whole thing is a lead up to Jed Jam 2010 which will take place in January next year.. which is going to be bigger an better than last years event.  I HEART TIM I found this photo on my computer while looking for photos of Tim Hales, This is Luke from Tasmania, Luke was a really good friend of Tim's and lived with him in Melbourne.

3RIDE --- VAN CITY STREET JAM from 3RIDE.com on Vimeo. HAIMONA THE ZOMBIE Haimona sent in this photo the other day of the aftermath from a pretty bad crash at Vic. He was jumping one of the hips a clip his tire on the back wall causing him to go face first into the gnarly asphalt. He also blamed the crash on day dreaming about girls and warns riders to make sure your concentrating on riding and not a hot set of legs that just walked past the park.
 Oh yea.. and whoever the riders where that helped him out and called the abulance, Haimona says thanks!! and he owes you some pressies!!! (free burger fuel maybe?) Get well soon Brah! PHOTOS FROM SCOTT Wednesday, September 2, 2009 NZ rider Scott Morley sent in some photos of his trip to Canada.. he has been riding a bunch with Louis and George and is hopefully going to stay there for about a year if all goes to plan. Looks like he is having a fun time over there, the weather and scenery looks pretty good!, thanks for sending the photos in Scott, look forward to seeing some more.
             THE FUTURE OF VICTORIA SKATE PARK Tuesday, September 1, 2009 A bunch of people have been asking questions about what's going on with Victoria Park.. so here is the deal:
Last Thursday I attended a meeting about the future of Victoria Skate park where a Vic Skate Park advisory group was formed, which consists of myself, Haimona, and 4 skaters. In 5 weeks or so the skate park will be removed as the land is needed for the new motorway tunnel. At this stage it looks like we may temporarily relocate the park or at least some of the park so we have somewhere to ride. The really good news is that there is going to be a brand new park built, the location is still to be confirmed but it may be the corner of Victoria, Beaumont and College Hill. We all agreed the the park needs to be of substantial size and quality as it will be the main park for Auckland and will be classed as an international park. The size of the skate park is to be no less than 2100sq mts, which means it could be bigger! To put that into perspective this is 2600sq mts, so we are looking at getting a pretty big park. The other good news is that the plans for the new park should be finalized in 6-8weeks and construction will start straight away. It will be frustrating if they get rid of the current skate park and don't temporarily relocate the ramps. But we have to remember it's only temporary as we will be getting a new, bigger, better park! So I don't think going with out a park for a short period of time is a big deal if we know something good is on the way. So that's the news so far.. if you have any questions feel free to ask.. or if you have any input let me know! I am attending a few more meetings in the next few weeks so I will keep you all posted on what’s going on. In other related news there is planes for a final Vic Park jam in the works already, including a race through the city. |
