3 weeks of madness has just come to an end for me! First off I flew to the South Island for a Quietchaos sales trip, borrowed my brothers car and traveled from Christchurch down through Dunedin to Invercargill and up to Queenstown and Wanaka, stopping to see shops along the way. Being on a tight schedule I didnt get much time to ride but thanks to Eastpaks BMX bag I managed a weeks gear and bike in one bag (pic below) for the trip.
In Christchurch I caught up with the boys from RevolutioNZ, an online shop from NZ and soon to be an actual shop in Christchurch central- keep your eyes peeled for this.
While in Queenstown I managed a solid ride at the Gorge Road trails with a bunch of the local shredders including Kelly McGarry and semi-local Karl Bensemen. The crew down there are on fire at the moment- Kelly is now riding a MTB full time and tearing it up on that, bringing his BMX style to the MTB scene. Karl is looking very at home on his bmx still with some solid tricks and usual 'boost 2 foot higher than everyone' style. Pics below.
Flying back from the south island to Hamilton I spent a day in Hamilton then shot to Sydney for a couple of days work, took a few pics below.
Back from Sydney I headed to Nelson for some MTB races to MC the events and get a little riding done. While in Nelson I checked out the start of the new Nelson skatepark down on the waterfront, its still under construction but looking pretty sick with some good bowls, hips and spines with a smaller street section. I couldnt get any pics as the construction guys kicked us out before I could snap any! If you are heading that way in the next couple of months its well worth a look- Id say it will be good to go late April.
Thats it for now, but some gruesome pics of an injury I sustained on Friday coming asap!
