Tim Hales
Wanaka Shredatons" the biggest buzz is seeing everyone smiling & roast'in all that concrete up in such a beautiful place, thank so much to everybody for supporting this jam & coming along! You won't burn in hell Tim will make sure a that! So after the prize giving pretty much it rained, so what else is there to do?
Everyone got on it either boozing or blaze'in as soon as we packed all the gear up, all the pints at Kai Whaka Pai went down good, eyes got irie & John cracked his frame some how so as we were all boozed it was down to the park to ghoust ride John's bike to see if we could snap the head tube off, boom, after a couple a good hefty ghoust from me John kicked the shit outa his ride & snaped it apart. Then it got well rowdy & loose at Red Rock by about 9pm ish with Chris J & J Diggah (me) spining loads a wax, scratching shit up like a dog with fleas, we skanked it, rocked it, funked shit up & got our noses to our knees till about 3 am i think hahha!
Tom, dumped 3's ahoy.........
Robbie still
franging it around the bowls, the jam pretty much became a bowl jam, fun times......

i hope ya enjoyed the photo over load from this years 2nd annual "Tim Hales Wanaka Shredaton" an it's only getting bigger & better with time, we raised a little more $$$ which will only help get us get that little bit closer to getting the extensions done at Wanaka Sk8 park. Tim was there in spirit & soul watching over us, he might not have kept the shity Wanaka wind away, but as soon as the riding was over & prize giving went down, the heavens opened up an it rained down it's tears a joy for all the fun he had! Cheers Tim you RIP for ever dude! The Ghoust rider lives on........shredsaton with the big guy up there in the sky?
