Went to T white bikes birthday jam yeasterday and had a really sweet time.  We got there a bit early and not alot was happening so a few of us went down to vic park for a ride.  I didnt get any photos from the jam as there were heaps of cameras out and about so not much for me to add there.  but i got some from vic and then out at the really awesome papakura park that we went to after. Here they are.

Callum with an indian air kinda thing. u gotta start landing them propper now bro

Alan flarring the hip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy crap man

Zach with a sweet table over the hip

yeah lets have a box jump down a hill.  cool. and then ill try to do a really long fixie skid. cool.  regret and some time soon pop new tire

that is all

Im not going to lie,  i dont often wake up wishing i could watch guys jump on to a box/ledge.  It aint because im some snobby steezy trail cat or anything but it has just really never got me going.  Saying that though, the red bull legends was awesome.  Who thought that an elevated plane could be played with in so many ways.  Under the sun and lubricated by the sponsor product could there be any better way to start the summer.  As usual there was a heap going down and i took a heap of photos but to just keep the mystery alive ill only post the good ones up, wich turned out to be few and far in between. but here they are

I think this guys name was Kendal.  Im not going to lie i have never seen him before but he was tech.  I dont know if he quite landed this Whip lash but how sick would that have been?

Jordan who deservedly eneded up taking out the whole comp with a no footed nose manual thing. Im sure there is a proper  name for it but meh.

Stephen as per usual…..casual 180 bars….no biggie.  He also 3 barred and barred on to whip off.  He came 2nd

Bevan rode hard all day, as usual and all i got was this pedal grind

Caleb with an x cup.  Him and Beadle had a sweet race at the box and do a cool trick off the end thing going on it seemed.

Thanks go out to Red Bull and 666 and who ever else had a hand in organising it. What a way to start off a wicked summer of riding.  Next stop EDHizzle…. yay ya

Work has been pretty slack lately so i had the other day of and got paid to ride.  it was pretty sweet.  me and mat went Te Pai then crossfield, where we saw bevan and alan, then to may road and lastly but not least back to shad.  I only really took photos at may road and once agian my batteries wernt that charged so i didnt get that many. But here they are anyway.

Went up to te pai the other week with calum for a chill ride.  I wasnt really planning on taking any photos and didnt have my flashes.  anway we ran into mike and amir up there and i started to take photos and wished that i had of taken my flash.  So anyway these are some of them i might go back and shoot them properly meaning ill be able to leave them in colour and not have to resort to the cheesie black and white ness.

mike with a 3 over the ledge. I will not bother telling you how big it is…….just go have a look.

Calum fast plant with a decent helping of lens flare

Amir ice down the rail

Calum tuck no off the ledge to a mtb hucker flat mother fucker landing.  This photo would have looked so much better save for the tree out of shot casting a shadow on him.

Mike nose pick.  I think it was a combo ice to nose . Ditto using the flash thing….blah……shadow…..light….flash

Calum tuck no off the up ledge

Amir lucke down rail.  The light one this was only just on him so it would have looked really cool if it wasnt for the busy shade thing in the vackground

Sweet that is all

Ryan

So we went back up to stanmore today and had a pretty good ride, after the park dried out and the rain left we were left with a pretty fun ride.  Everyone was going pretty good, but not quite as good as Jayden, split jeans, de scabbing an almost healed wound and cracking a stem, what a day.

Anyway these are what i did get,  They are kind of over run with lurkers, but meh what can you do,  it was a beautiful winter day at a sick park.

Liamonade with a crazy gap from the bank into the curved bit of the bowl.  It kind of came out of no where but looked so wicked.  Its a lot bigger then it looks in this photo for those of you who havent been there.

Im not really so stoked on this photo.  Dont get me wrong Jayden has these dialed and they look so sick but i was having a hard time trying to come up with a some what interesting angle.  This gets it done but doesnt quite do Jayden justice i reckon.

Liam,  look back over the litlle kinked “hip” part on the bowl.

Matt with another one of his famous foot plants. nice one bro.

Sweet thats about it

Ryan

Had a ride yesterday at shad and managed to get some photos from what must be the most uninspiring skate park in existence.  There wasnt much to do so we had a game of Supercalafragilisticexpealidocious.  I managed to get to Supercala, which meant i won because i got the furthrest.  It was pretty windy so not much happened.  I didint get any photos of Jack because my timing sucks but meh hopeflly next time.

Matt with a trademark foot plant.

Liam table over the hip (off the side of the “quarter”)

Same thing differnt angle

Yeah thats pretty much it.  Just been to Sun Skate, i quite liked it,  probably going to be a regular monday night thing.  Come down if your keen.

Sweet catch you next time

Ryan

Some old stuff that i wanted to post up for a while

Jaden hop bar. Probably the cheesiest photo that i have taken in some time.  But i suppose that sometimes there is need for a reflection shot.

Tim Hunter whipping up woodhill. I posted this one ages ago but after looking at it i realised how shit it was and went back to the original file and redid it.  Now it looks more in line with what i like at this particular moment.  No doubt that at some point i will look at this one, think its shit and re do it agian. I sure hope so anyway.

Sweet as

Jaden with a big backie into the foam

Jaden with a dumped/flat 3 kind of thing

Harley with a sweet table 3

Whangarei Jaden with a sick 360 backie attempt.  At least i think that that is what it was.  Whatever it was it looked freaking cool.

Jaden dumped 3.  He managed to hit the wall of the pit on one attempt.. so sketchy but so sick

Harley with a dialed invert transfer thing

Scott with a wall tap at the top of the rollin

Jaden boosting out of one of the quarters.

Matt with a nice lazy table

Richard with a super extended tuck no,  getting quite close to the beams he does

Jaden with a backie.  Note the tire you see at the top of the pic showing through the rafters…….yeah….. pretty much

Whangarei Jaden doing absolutely nothing

Jaden extended KFC NFC

Richard with a nice backie. Unfortunately i didnt get any of his fronties

Foam is so wicked and they got the right idea up there, i think that we should do something together down here and get a pit and somewhere to ride when its wet and cold out.

Big thanks to Richard for letting us stay and showing us around along with Whangarei Jaden, Harley, Scott, Justin and all those involved with the building of that place.   So sick

Its been ages sinces i have posted anything, basically because i havent been shooting much latley.  Took the camera out to woodhill today but the heavens opend up and it turned out way to wet. good for riding but bad for shooting.

Any way this is a shot of liam doing a foot jam whip on the “quarter” at shad.  Its funny i remember when we first saw PMP ash do a footjam on that quarter and we thought that that was absolutley nuts,  good old progression.
