"This trip was taken by myself and Ruben Alcantara almost 5 years ago. It was put out along with an Etnies Road Trip video that came with Dig issue number 52. Because it was being burned on a hard copy, I had to use different music for the second half of the Train Trip. This was the music I originally edited it with. This played all last year on the Bicycle Film Festival Tour around the world. I've gotten a number of requests to put this up online. So here it is, Freaky Friday February 19th, 2010. Enjoy!"

Ruben...such a terrible fly guy
Ruben Alcantara has alway's been one of my fav riders & has to be one of the raddest riders EVER, always a treat watch'in footy of him ripping & shredding it up, his interview up on Fly Bikes is rad cos it's all full a NZ footy. Ruben is the king of New Lynn skank park, he seethe's style, full a etiquette, loves trails & had a dam good time in NZ......how could you not tho! So here's few of my fav Ruben vid's, chiao!
what the terrible 1 Joe Rich has to say "Six weeks, 1 regluar sized back pack for each of the 2 of us, 1 super 8mm camera, 1 DV video camera, 1 35mm film photo camera, 2 bmx bikes, $400 in train tickets each = 1 amazing adventure. We had the most basic of plans . . . Leave Malaga, Spain by train, and arrive in Prague (Czech Republic) six weeks later. No day was ever mapped out before hand. We'd take a train to a new city, leave the station upon arrival, and see what we could get into. Some cities we stayed for days, others just over night. "Chance" and "Wonder" were our co-pilots. Exploration and adventure go hand in hand, add in our loose schedule and we had ourselves one amazing journey" . . . .

gorge roast'in & politricks...are you ready?

had good roll over the gorge the other day, dragged a few wanaka locals over, here's a few pic's Chris got, cheers bro! Yes we all had a dam good evening sesh, i set up my gene/PA so tunes were bang'in out & roastful goodtimes were had! See you boys at the Stony Hills Trail Jam....only 14 days off! Will have all the need to know info about the Stony Hills Trail Jam up after the weekend...maybe. And on a totally dif topic the National government (who unfortunately run NZ right now) want to pass a new law/bill to stop public/any form of peaceful protesting/NVDA/demonstrating in NZ & their bulls (the PO PO/pigs/police will love enforcing this one if it get's passed).......WTF that's basic human right's "freedom of speech"........what other rights do they wanna take away, it all seems a bit to draconian really doesn't it?
Check the vid's below if you care, Dr Russel Norman's (Green party) speech in response to John Key's speech were he has told NZ "there will be no public debate about mining our national parks" in NZ Parliament just recently this week, NZ's in BIG trouble with greedy capitalistic suit wearing tweekers in control who are being played/manipulated by big offshore corporations with nothing in mind but to increase the size of their bank accounts, an NZ'ers will lose out, BIG TIME! Also check out "Collapse" & watch it all very dam interesting what Michael Ruppert has to say.....believe what ya want, read in to it how ya want & uncondition ya mind...live free check the tease below, if anyone want's a copy let me know i'll give you one.....
"Every generation needs a revolution"-Thomas Jefferson.....an i think this world is sooo over due. Respect our home "PLANET EARTH" we only have ONE, there is no exit sign, or off ramp no you can not get off the EARTH, so when the shit really hits the fan, we are all gonna have to deal with it THERE IS NO ESCAPING THAT TRUTH!
