BMX BANDITS

Weather is unpredictably shit at the mo. One day you can think spring is really here and its 19 degrees out, next day its as cold as a chully bin bro and pissing it down. Yesterday was one of those such days. so instead of wasting a day inside i wasted it inside by watchign BMX BANDITS the 1983 classic with Nicole Kidman in it. She has hair that looks like lightbulb filament back in this day. aahhhhhhh reminesce....

Kelly on the big little screen for RedBull Rampage

check it out...if the flaming video embeds below, if not got to HERE

THE RACE IS ON!!!!!

Entries for the 2009 Brake Burner at Coronet went online yesterday. Get in there fast as it sold out last year. Besides its a bargain at only $115 for a solo entry!!!! Well thats my race budget for the season gone already. Gonna have to really get into the "free riding" this year.

The photo to the left has nothing to do with anything Brake Burner related. Its just an old photo that Spainish photographer Adolfo Crespo took of me back a year and a half ago. Was doing a bit of a clear out of the 'puter files, found it again, and made me think back to those autumnal times whicht he Whistler crew will be going through right now...but not here suckas!!!! BRING ON THE SUMMER!!!!!!!!! AND HOORAY FOR DAY LIGHT SAVINGS!!!!!!!!!!!

famous again? wow i better get myself to Interbike and whore myself

Went to PaperPlus today to buy a pencil and noticed the new copy of NZ Mountain Biker magazine...and guess what theres me old muggins looking back at meself!!!

The article the photos appeared in was written by sheryl Mcloed about when she stayed with BearBackBiking the company i guide for back in Whistler.

Above is one of the photos that appeared in the article. Thw photo was taken by Stephen Wilde, an awesome photographer based outta North Van. unfortunately the printing quality of the magazine does not do his shots justice in my opinion. got to STEPHEN WILDE PHOTOGRPAHY here to check out his work

Finally back on-line

finally got hooked up with internet at home so now i can spend all day (when it rains) trudging through the endless abyss...

saw this...

Wynyard DH fluffing

WORK HAS BEGUN!!!!

you heard it right...theres a shit load of money getting poured into Gorge Road this spring to make it THE BEST AND BIGGEST jump park in NZ.

Imagine five times the size!!!! yeah thats right, FIVE!!!!

So far pro drainage is in and there is now four hose taps throughout the park for sprinkling the H2O when the trails dry up!!! perfect dirt even in the middle of summer!!!! the 2 tonne front loader is here and the dirt is slowly startign to get dropped off. so far we just been doing prep work and bulking up the exisiting line.

also we have been up Wynyard DH harvesting the perfect gold dirt to slap on them berms. the photo above does no justice. the berms are now bigger and meatier. we have also made it gnarlier by making it almost mandatory to jump from one berm to the next. flow, technique and railage baby!!!!!

NEW BIKE!!!

Got the new bike!!! THE NEW WEAPON OF ASS DESTRUCTION!!!

yeah thats right i got a commie meta 666. and yes thats right, its got a name that sounds like i should be wearing uber baggy bondage pants, black nail varnish and a choker chain.

ALL HAIL THE DARK LORD...well the snow white virginal one in this case.

Ceci the stag

Ceci is getting married, actually he already is, long story.

To celebrate Ceci made us go as far away from big black strippers and lampposts for his stag do.

Old rednuts himself.

This is what keeps the soft stuff inside me head

When you need to be absolutely sure that a summer of riding home absolutely blind drunk hasnt totally wrecked irrepairable damage on your prize peanut shell then just get it xrayed and check it.

I was pleased to see that my helmet has no internal fissures despite wrecking it most wednesdays when i attempted to ride home drunk from the Phat Wednesday celebrations. My beautiful helmet may not look so beautiful now but it still works and thats what counts.

trail report

I may appear to be a cheapskate but when it comes to giving you the best possible bike park trail report update then no expense is spared.

This photo was taken from a float plane i chartered on the last day of Crankworx. As you can see from the photo the braking bumps are monsterous, the trails are as loose as a Norwegian backpacker, and the lift line cues are longer than the dole cues on a tuesday in scunthorpe.

Spoke Magazine

Well knock me down with a feather. The picture here of me doing bendy legs in Cromwell last autumn taken by Tim Pierce ended up being printed in Spoke magazine alongside two other photos of yours truly. Im muthafuckin big time now so dont expect anymore updates cause im starting my own TV show and have a bunch of product endorsements and shopping centre openings to do now...

booze is horrible

whoever said biking is a drug is fucking stupid.

after a wicked session of riding i dont feel like shit the next day.
