Photo taken from Calebs blog - silignawoods.blogspot.com CAMBRIDGE JAM The Cambridge Jam went down on Saturday, Paul Langlands pritty much one of the only riders that could rip the park up, its seriously badly built, lumpy ramps, almost like an obstical course.
It was a fun old day for every one who showed up to the Jam. I ventured off under the high pass bridge to find a sweet wall ride. The day was hot so me and Dan M. went out to the lake for some flip training to cool off. Sunday afternoon = a good jam down at Mellvill, Jordie boosting the hip with moto whips followed by Sean doing a precision Smith down the handrail.

 DIRTY SOUTH Thursday, November 20, 2008 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 Wednesday, November 19, 2008 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.
