FOSTER...Catty bub scrub...every one's seen this shot right?
an on the local Lismore front, people are still cutting thru the safety tape (bad habit someones gonna cause a bad collision soon) & breaking it, please don't that tape ain't cheap $50 for a 1000meters, if i catch ya look out. Just because MOTO/big line is closed it don't mean it's sweet to cut thru, please enter Lismore from the top or very bottom ie return back to top us older boys need to set a good example for the younger users of lismore, it's not rocket science man. So after talking to the Police & Council about the safty issues after last weekends run in with a grumpy drunk'in dad after i told his 2 kids nicley " that they shouldn't be @ Lismore unsupervised or running around & climbing all over MOTO or any jumps when people are riding them or they get seriously hurt or possibly killed, go get your mum or dad then come back with them." It seems right now that barrier/bunting tape is the best we can do with the lack of funding we have!
If you see little kids with out their parents be wary & if you can mention the dangers to the parent do it, don't let them just dump their kids off, lismore ain't no day care centre (i'm talking kids under 16 who think the jumps are a jungle gym...go to the real kids play ground ie dinosaur park etc etc!!)! "Lismore is public land but privately managed by Bike Wanaka aka Lake wanaka Cycling Inc. The council said it's going to look into these safty issues an get back to me in 2 weeks, not good enough to be honest! Hopefully the council will amend the signage we already have to cover this issue in plain english! If you use Lismore an really want to protect it's future we ALL need to really start educating people who don't understand the dangers of standing in the middle of a line like a dodo while a dude doing 30-40 km's & 15 feet in the air, air brakes. nope ya just can't stop mid flight can ya. Plain common sense really is hard to find these days, to many kids lack it!
The clean ups almost done on MOTO, more patching tonight, she'll be good for the weekend if the weather holds off, looks like some more rain coming in from the east on sat/sun but not much...fingers crossed! No one else seems to be sorting the mainline tho @ Lismore i can't do it all man, my free time is precious & i don't really ride it HA!!!!!! If you ride it keep it dialed right! Public spot remember.... Work bee dudes every saturday morning 9-12 remember that, so come on locals ya snow's gone since all that last rain hahaha & the Queenstown boys are making ya look bad by doing a shit load every weekend..... sort it!

Louicheck'in out Jarod's shovel work driven by the need for roast'in instead a brak'in got the new 7th bomb hole all finished on saturday & gave the tranny about 4ft more length...then he roasted it! Love ya work dude! The digger is t'd up to pull out those massive rocks & widen it up some this week sometime, call me Kris..churchur
an people say it don't rain in wanaka duh, i think we had the most rain all year in less than 6 hours! I guess that happens when it's winter aye! Horay for tarps & carpet, some a lismore got messed up but really i thought it all held up to the heavenly beating alright. There's a few boggy water logged patches that'll take a week or 2 to dry out, so more drains are going in, more tarps to buy....digs all week so she's ready for all the weekend warriors haha!
fresh tee's out for Catty woods insurance fund, i've got mine coming, so buy one HERE an help out one of the raddest trails on earth, an rock a sweet axleradical T this summer, PA WOODS fuck yeah!........the mother land!
