I'll see if one of those 20" boys in QT can send me a current shot of it as concrete has either been poured or ain't far off being poured !!! go ride sumthang man !! As soon as it's open i'll let ya all kno !! Reefton & Wanaka bowls still kick ass tho !! Hopefuly QT's new bowl will also kick ass !!

S.H. Trails - clay heaven & escaping death !!

The lucky last wheel stud kept the Grim Repper away ,we live 2 dig another day !!

Phat fun lines & this is only a small view of what's here to roll !! S.H.

Go d Hobbo fire , home sweet home fa d S.H. diggin crew !!!

After arriving on the east coast an nearly dying cos of 4 wheel studs shearing off an nearly losing a rear wheel which left my van fucked & imobilized ( big ups ta H for helpin on that drama), an luckly i was going slow when it happened & we escaped death ha ha ( the dirt god was with us!!) a whole lot of diggin got done !!

The coast was in pridictable form with constant drizzly weather the whole time down there ,the edge of a bloody cyclone that slammed the north Island hard!! So no riding trails just diggin , coffee, food & verbal dribble ( mostly from me ha ha ) which is always a good thing ta get ya charging behind a wheelbarrow & shovel !!! Investing in summer trail filled days is what it's all about , diggin at ya mates trails with ya mates over winter , that's what trails is all about & keeping ya hard work secret is another hard thing unless ya got a good crew that understands what trails are all about !!! Come summer an S.H. is gona be a fun , fast , tech , good time on ya bike no matter how ya roll !!!

Only 3 locals showed up ( 1 the owner of the trails) ta help with the diggin & that waz a real let down as all the uther boys (5 of us) that dug over the past 4 day's were from Timaru , Geraldine , Wanaka & Queenstown , jus a few 100 km's away aye !!! there are alot of boy's that roll 20'' 24'' 26'' at S.H. an they all live 20 mins by car from d trails where were they, it wasn't to wet ta not dig fellaz !! Dig trails & make ya scene grow !!! SO BIG UP'S TO ALL THE DIGGERS WHO SHOWED UP !! RESPECT !! alot got done , playin with clay is a fun sticky boggy time !!! Go slap a lip HARD. Oh yeah an thanks to H.D , N.G. & Elvis for the treats & a roof !!

Trails 4 Life , screw NIKE , just dig it !!!!

ahh the mountains ..... rainy days & sunshine.

bring on the rain !!!

1/4's rule with back drops like these , Ezra floatin abit , photo ?

There's been alot of weather like d greyness uptop & it's all good fa diggin d earth , an diggin in the rain is even better so with a well good sesh behind d shovel's & wheelbarrow's over the past few weeks the trails are takin shape nicely , so with in a week or so hopeful we'll start rollin the line , an yer fellaz if you are keen to help dig abit Saturdays ( you've got me digits , so hola at me ) are best for everyone. Night diggin is about ta kick off during the week ,light's shovels & action !!!

It's always sweet when the sun comes out an dry's up d concrete , well it don't melt the permafrost in d bowls at all , but it makes the 1/4's & mini all sweet ta roll & do skids & tricks on ha ha ha !!! A big welcome to wanaka !! all you outa town hobo'in BMX' az !!!!! If ya see any asswipes smashing glass at the park hold ya ground an tell 'em ta " fuck right off " , as the boy's that clean it up get sicka sweepin up the glass !!! Bad Karma to them !!! That's the problem with no lights at the park ya get idiots doin stupid shit an they ain't seen do'in it , WANAKA SKATE PARK needs lights not only so ya can ride at night but ta mostly stop dorks shitting & smashing glass all over it !! Yep shit i've cleaned up human shit twice , WTF !! why don't they go shit on the grass like the mungrels they are !!!! ha ha !!!

WANAKA PARK - use ya eye's & have a safe roll !!

This time last year , Greg, Pete , Lowell , Mo & Sion full moon sesh on's

Yep with winter comes loads of peeps wantin ta sesh up d local concrete slabs & bowls an why not as it all rules !!! Just watch out for the ice in the bowls as it's brutal !!! It's real bizy at the mo so if ya wana tip from me get ta d park before the ski fields shut (4pm daily) as after 4:30pm it get's real packed an that's when ya gota either leave or switch ta big city mode & get ya mean street eyes on , to just ta get a clean roll at anything , well frustrating if ya wana roll the whole park !!! Most peeps are tired from snow boarding & ski'n all day by the time they turn up at the park they be half baked & asleep ha ha an just don't use their red tired eyes, just plain STUPID !!!

no matter how ya roll & have fun !!! PLEASE EVERYBODY USE YOUR EYES !!!!

or somebody is gona get hurt real bad soon!!!! It's just common sense realy , come on fools !!!

I unfortnatly skooled 3 euro's the hard way as i held my lines ( when ya 10ft above the park what else can ya do) , no one realy got hurt just a bit a blood , bruising & crushed egos ha ha . It's gotta be heavy when from above steel & flesh is flyin at ya aye !! If ya got eye's it pays to use them !!!! I even put my brakes back on just ta feel a bit safer with all the out of towners around ( oh & for the new trails were dig'in !!!) ha ha is english so hard to learn ??? PEACE.

Enjoy the rest of winter cos the snow is gona go , as quick as it falls it melts back to the sea !!!!

WANAKA JUMP PARK - is ready ta roll !!!

ya might even find a girl around that might let ya jump her , what do you think !! in a puffer maybe ha ha ha

Well that is as soon as it stops raining & snowing ha ha ( i want it to keep raining !!) an gets a chance to dry out & pack abit more, the local kids will be up ta Lismore Park an i bet ya they'll start throwing themselves in all sorts of directions mostly up skyward ha ha ha !!!! Yep Wanaka jump park is finished !!!! Well that's according to what the word on d street & d local paper anyway, but don't believe everything ya hear or read , right ?



Well as soon as it's dry enough it'll be a roll or 2 on that big line ( i didn't see any 30 footers tho?? maybe half that, don't believe d hype ha ha !!) it wont take much tho as it's well packed & hard an the big line seems to work alright !!!!! just abit of wind will do it, as for the rest of the place/jumps it'll be soft & slow for a wee while yet, so i'd say keep off those wet, soft lines an if see any puddles don't ride thru 'em !!! Skids are way more fun ha ha !!


Cheers to the QLDC for the land & the L.W.C.I. for perservering an get'in legal permission to build the jump park , as we all know what happens when ya don't get legal permission to build bicycle tracks on Maori land etc etc....... so after a big reality check for everyone who rides or digs around wanaka !!!! some good always comes outta some bad, like the new jump park, supply on demand !! Oh yeah & thanks to the 123 crew for buildin the place !!!! i hope it all works out nicley for ya !!!! i hope the fall is good & the drainage is sweet ???? we'll find out with all this rain,who's up for some mud sliding !!!! so go get dirty.



So check out the next issue of SPOKE magazine, the word is there's gonna be a some pic's some of those trick's they do on dirt jumps & an a few words ha ha ha i think i missed the trick's , eitherway pilgrims it's thank's ta all the diggers out there , keep on diggin , where ever you are !!!! it's snowing on my window right now !!! (4:30 pm Kiwi time)

WANAKA SK8 PARK (Extentions) UP DATE

Bowls & mini set up dis day & 1 a d twins ripping it up (rest of park outa shot 2 d right)

Here's Eddie, roostin it @ Newton's playground 08, hittin The Dipper @ 65kph & there's 3 peeps outta shot in his wake !!! DH Sk8'in !!! RESPECT !!

Well this is how it is with the wanaka sk8 park extentions, had a chat with Eddie Spearing (president/ wanaka sk8 club) down at the park today , an it turns out that the size of the planned new extentions are gona make the park almost 3000 square meters in total area (Reefton is 2100square meters , i think ?) so that's real good news an will mean during winter it'll spread out the load as it gets soo packed with all the sno bunnies around . The size of what's there right now is just on 850 square meters , so if ya do d math wanaka sk8 park will be 3 times the size of what's all ready there !!!! Hell YEAH

So all that's needed now is loads of $$$ to build it all , so expect to see a few dates soon about bmx & sk8 Jams & comps soon etc etc !!! There's lot's of fundraising to do indeed !! The planed completion for all this is buy 2010 (hopefuly), but ya never know what could happen between now & then aye , as there's plenty of wealth in wanaka & the fact that the wanaka park is the district park for the QLDC region means loads more council funds are to be allocated (maybe) !! I hav'nt heard exactly how much $$ is needed, the plans they have are a bit old an need updating so once the new plans are all drwn up maybe then the cost will be known!!! There's definatly gona be more bigger bowls that will add on to the existing two (6.4 ft & 4ft) via the mini oh yeah , 10ft will be the max depth the bowls will go due to hight & building restrictions (QLDC's rules i guess), so as soon as new plans re drawn up i'll put them on here for ya all ta dribble over.

there's a meeting next week so i'll let ya all kno what up after it & i'll post a link ta d Wanaka sk8 park site when i find out what it is, until then go ride ya bike & stop being such computer geeks like me ha ha ha !!! PEACE
