Sorry for letting you down Jack

2011-08-20T18:33:00.003+12:00

Sorry Jack, I'm slack!

Heres some dark, blurry, out of focus photos for you Jack, since you will be the only one reading this.

In other news, winter is cold and shitty. Can't wait for summer.

Simon keeping it real.

Sam

Sam has a flattie

All tho this may just look like a super whip (which would be super rad) it's actually a 270 fakie. which is pretty rad aswell. rad!

Then theres some next level steeze, with a 270 tyre grab fakie. too much

I would call this a curb endo, but its probably not called that anymore. Sam with a " "

THis was off the ledge aswell, all tho you wouldn't know any different. its rad. sam is rad. rad!

Simon makes scooter kids cry and rides against doctors order. ultra badass

Simon still kills it despite all.

good enough jack?

Will hopefully be working less soon so will be able to take more photos soon.

Maybe I'll even learn how to bunnyhop again.

I'll leave you with some hip hop for white people:

Stay rad!

wow

2010-05-20T00:22:00.002+12:00

weekend just gone. well actaully thursday last thursday went down to wellington for a datsik gig at sandwhiches. havent felt clean since.

heres a couple pictures from the trip.

great way to start the trip, halfway through desert road johhny law says hi to phillip. When the cop offered phil the chance to look at the speed on the radar phils response was "nah, it's not that impressive". ho ho

and onwards to wellington

Didn't ride anywhere on the way down. just went straight from rotorua to liquor king to hamish's to sandwhichs. rad

Next day, after an hours or two sleep and not being able to hear anything....i swear datsik was louder than motorhead. tried to ride upper hutt. well. I slept in the car well jared and phil rode.

Phil got gnarly, he reckons this is a 720

jareddd

phil

phil bars

from upper hutt went up the road to pukete bay ..i think.
strange park designed park. fun none the less

jared hooning the masssssive box

jared jam

i think it was the same day we went to Waikanie to find a few people riding, Kane can ride this place like no other

pictures dont really do it justice. too big and rad.

from here it was home to daisy and an early bedtime

next day hit up levin/waikanae/otaki

levin stunts

then it was back home to daisy again and some venison susagees thanks to ambers awesome mum! thanks for killing deer and putting them on my plate! rad!

next day last day said goodbye to daisy and headed on back to rotorua with a quick stop in at bulls? i think. scooter kids were wild! and rad little bmxers that can 3 whip but cant do an x-up? this is a crazy world we're living in!

kidwhip!

phil bars/busdriver

phil no hands

jared frame grab t-bogs

jrad eurO

then the rain came down and we went home!

awesome trip. anyone that whats something a bit new/different give some datsik a whirl in your jukebox and you will see what i mean by un-clean. ha

stay rad!

The Vans JediJam 2010 just dropped this weekend just gone, along with some wild tricks, beers and fanny's.

I didn't take too many photos as Mr McRae was definatly taking care of business in that department and some TV show as well....hopefully will be online soonish. so for proper photos wait that out but here's a few that i got . . .

Will be in time order because i'm feeling lazy today.

heres the dog that tried to eat me alive...don't fuck with his puffer fish...

the set. about 8ft tall jumps. 20ish foot gap and the drop-in which was 2 containers on top of one another into a container height drop, which jed managed to whip in off. raddd

bikes and crowd

i think photos of cooper would come out so much better at night time. ha

this photo is such a mess, nasty 360 backflip. so wild

shitty photo, best superman seat grab

Nastazio, 3 whip

double whip

burly as fuck frontie

Wellington brought the party all day

then we sunk a few beers....

ah. for more got o my facebook album: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=logo#/album.php?aid=192295&id=566507784&ref=mf

wonder if that link will work. anyway good night all round.

next day woke up and it was pouring down and windy as. doubts were had about any riding happening at all. a sweet game of B.I.K.E went down, with the taupo team bringing home the bacon, supergroup 2nd and auckland team 3rd. was good fun.

Jono ended up taking out the overall comp, was more of a sweet hang out jam in the sun for the day. heres a couple photos from where i was sitting. ha

Jono 3 whip the spine

hugh was getting wild

Louis thought he'd bomb off the red bull rover

Colin MacKay went small and didn't click a table all day.

sweet. wait it out for McRaes photos. they should be the bomb digity.

shout outs to SFA crew for being the only other people out on friday night!

2009-12-03T15:35:00.002+13:00

past weekend went down to taupo for main street jam, Mr. McRae was taking care of photos there so I decided to sit back and watch George bring home the bacon.

pretty wild night out on friday night, Cody droppin' dollars at the bar, 20 drink rounds? passing out and then arising to jumping all over cars, being stoked as fuck on Cooper, cody rules it.

theres a real sweet edit up on zombie which sum's up the comp, check that out.

heres a couple pictures from the park..

the man himself

jared laying it down.

so i wasn't really in much of a picture taking mood, or a doing anything mood on this day.

t'was decided to head over to Sam's beach house in papamoa (you will remember the update from here awhile ago, crusing in merc's to get porn & dobros)

alan and bevan tagged along aswell for good times.

man tub and wi sessions were down.

then we all headed over to tauranga to get wild in the club, 9 people packed in to a car with 3 seat belts and we got through a police check-point all good. LOVE THE POLICE.

biggest story from the night was simon picking up some switz girl at the bar, bringing her back to the house and then proceeding to talk to her untill 6am and then decline an offer of going back to her place. and yes i feel as so this is something you need to know. hahahahha simon rules.

next day after a little swim and sweet bakery food headed up to summer hill trails that carl and crew from tauranga have been putting a tonne of work in to, and he reckons theres still alot of work to go, looking and riding real good so far!

bevan rides MTB now. rilla

cody photo. carl whip and bevan riding naturally.

jared getting his 3's dialed

bevan

Carl and Allan sent the big line after a bit, and shit does alan send it or what, must be all those baby fetus's that he chomps on

Alan sending the 2nd jump.

Cheers for the ride carl...no doubt be over again sometime soon to put in some shovel work.

misc. holiday photo from gold coast.

ugh whooops

2009-05-25T16:22:00.003+12:00

its been over a month since anything. lets blame this one on too much work, girlfriends and being slack as fuck.

i think i have one more riding photo that I've taken.
Cody jared & phillip went to oz for a week or so i think. i have a few pictures from that but no stories as I'll let phil or cody or jared write up some. maybe a video aswell.

and the usual drank blah that you don't really care about.

i'll get that bullshit out of the way first.

couple weeks back at about 9pm jared cody rachael and i headed to taurnaga for a night out, checked into a dodgy hotel where no doubt a bunch of dirty hookers have been banged...in fact we saw one leaving. awesome.

also at buddah bar i think it was called we saw a couple girls dancing amazingly , jared mentioned it was like we were in a rap video .. .

okay i tried to find a youtube video to demonstrate this but i got distracted and gave up. but you get the idea

oh and after she noticed us mentally recording her for about 5 minutes she promptly handed us each her business card, which had her contact details so you could hire her as an 'exotic dancer' exotic!

Heres a couple pictures that ended up on my iphoto from codys camera. melbourne!

cody drinking at 730am

hotelll

duty free!

Stricly bmx

good old colony hell stalions . . . cody has a video of this dude casing the box and there-fore breaking his frame in half...ugh?

ramp fest and philip flipping!

i dunno if you can view facebook videos but here you go: http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php#/video/video.php?v=1139078604543&ref=mf little video phil put together of the trip.

also when getting picturs off cody a bunch of old pictures popped up.

aww Jack.

thanks rad.

heres the one bmx picture i have taken in the last month. ha.

hopefully be able to get out to ride in the cold a bit more often this month.

we did heaps but not really alot

2009-04-13T20:21:00.004+12:00

So, Whangamata trip went ahead as planned. hit that up during the day with a quick stop at Waihi with the old school bowl and the biggest dickheaded skaters ever...and the single most annoying question kid who wanted to know my life story and more...im sure you know the type "can you do a backflip? what kind of bike is that? can you do a 360? can you do a tailwhip? How long have you been riding for? do you know Phil Urwin? ....blah blah blah blah blah blah" as he snakes you on his mountion bike with a missing pedal. oh to be young again huh?

Heres some pictures from the trip and the box jump at Whanagamata.

Simon, Jared, Jed & Josh came along for the trip!

When we arrived at Whangamata there was a skater lying down before the box jump with a broken arm, his lower arm was bent...not a pretty sight, when the ambulance arrived and moved his arm into the sling the bone stuck through the skin and let a bit of a blood splatter out. pretty gnarly...not the best thing to see first thing at the skatepark eh!

And once he was cleared away some riding went down and I took pictures of the box jump.

Josh has been riding for about 3 months and going through the paces...will probably be rippin' in a few months

Jed has two very swollen knees atm, he can't really walk but can still ride fine! 360

Jared

then we drove some and decided to catch up with BIg wheels sam and stay at his place in Papamoa again. good times drankin' and listening to waves crash on the beach all night long. Thanks again for the place to stay and get rad sam! and your mums fish was badass!

Next day hit up the bike shop and the coffee shop and got jed his first ever kebab and got to the skatepark about 12. 5 hours after waking up. dullglglhhhh

Simon getting leggy

still gettin' leggy

kid getting gnarly well his mum didn't stop yelling at him

Josh whipppin on his tyre.

Oh also, thanks to the Jazz festival parking warden for reminding me that parking on yellow lines isn't correct. douchebag.

Simon & I saw a train! stoked!

so simon sent another txt message!

Pretty chill ride at the mt park, watching old war planes come in and Carl Cavangh was riding, was good to see that guy ripping again!

Jed ripping as always

carl always has interesting lines where ever he rides....heres a picture of him airing the bowl. haha.

cheers for the weekend...and thanks to jesus for dying and coming back as a Zombie so I can eat chocolate eggs and get drank at the beach! fuck yeah Jesus!

How could I forget, quote of the weekend well coming up a car on the motorway courtesy of Simon "Damn, that girl looks pretty hot" Rest of van "Ugh Simon, pretty sure that's a guy"

DEATH TO ALL BUT METAL

And just so you can have a sing-a-long :)

Alright!

Yeah!

K-k-come on!

Fuck the goo goo dolls, they can suck my balls
They look like the dorks That hang out at the mall

Nelly can suck it, so can Dr. Dre
They can suck each other, just because they're gay
They can suck a dick, they can lick a sack
Everybody shout, heavy metals back!

Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal

Death to Papa Roach, Blink 182
All those fucking pussies sounds like doggy doo
Wearing baggy pants, spiking up their hair
They're not worth the crust on my underwear

Where is Def Leppard?
Where is Mötley Crüe?
Why does all my lyrics sound like doctor Seuss?

Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal

Kills those fuckin fuckheads
who program MTV
They can suck my ass with all the record companies

Death to Britney Spears, kill the little slut
Kill Madonna too, and then fuck her in the butt
Fuck Maria Carey, death to Sheryl Crow
They can kiss each other on their camel toe
50 Cent's a fag, so is Kanye West
shooting hot sperm on each other's chest

Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal
Death to all but metal

just a wee wee update . . .

2009-04-11T14:12:00.002+12:00

just a couple pictures today to get them posted so I can hopefully do a big update from tomorrow's trip, hopefully heading to Whangamata as long as the weather doesn't gay out. Half of rotorua is away tripping else where well Simon & I rock Guitar Hero...we are probably more Chad Croger than Hero tho...unless this this is your kinda hero, then Simon is right up your...asshole I guess.

anyway.

i think I pretty much didn't take a single photo in this update. mainly taken by Cody I think. Just in case you forgot who that is, here's prehaps the best picture that has ever been taken of him, no fuck that, anyone in the history of photos being taken:

Anyone, just to ruin your boner heres some bmx photos, i think some are out of focus for whatever reason.

Phillip barspininnggg in the sunset

lanky fucker

this is how the paint came off my car all by itself. seriously.

one day when i went to work they all went to putaruru at night. aparently got to see some fatty boobs out a car window but cody missed the photo. probably a good thing I think. ha ha.

I'll just throw up some odd photos and if you want to look at the rest go to my photobucket account which i'll link at the bottom of i remember.

stevens 21st epic roadie

2009-03-23T13:43:00.004+13:00

HI THERE, if you have dial-up internet it would be a good idea to leave this page open and let it loan over-night. as this shits about to get epicccccc.

This weekend just gone Simon, Jed, Cody, Jared, Sam & I headed to auckland for stevens 21st on the friday night.

Everyone arose nice and early, met up in town and headed on our way.

First stop was fairfield skatepark in hamilton

Pretty sweet fly-out/up and some stuff went down

Jared taboggan

Simundo

jared t-down from the quarter into tight hip thingie

sam dif angle

Jared was rippin!

Jed

Jad's shoe fell off aswell! ha haa

Then we headed on out to huntly, skipping the usual Ngrawahia stop to see what huntly was all about, turned out to be a bit smaller than Ngrawahia, but maybe even more fun!

Sam did some flips on his mountion bike!

Jared

Jed

Jed V Jared

Jared V Jed. ha

Jed

Jed

Simon

On this trip Simon started blasting whips above coping . . .

boom!

Cody sweet carve

From huntly we made the trek to ak.
Cody & I stopped at this weet bakery where everything was $2.50! fro sandwhichs to rolls to pies. so we stocked up and popped next door for a sixer of pilsner. yumyum!

Arrived at papakura park and had a wee ride.
When the van arrived turns out that Jed, who has just turned 18, had been trying to guy some decent porn, but only managed to buy a penthouse that looked normal from the outside but then on the actual cover turned out to be a R16 porn. ha ha. suckaaaaa

Cody footjam whipppp

Simon blastin'

Simon whippin'

Simon blastin' a 3 fakie

from papakura we headed to vic park for a chill/ride. i had worked about 50 hours the week just gone so wasn't realy in the mood for much so i chilled and caught up with people who had made the trek for stevens birthday.

Then everyone made their way to stevens to have some drinks before his 21st...I will add some party photos in here once i get ahold of jared camera to get the pictures off. theres some goodins!

party woo!

next day once we all found each other and had a few blue powerades headed down to vic park again.

Matt whippin'

some vic local

Birthday boy steven 3ing the box

Piggy still does the best lookbacks...

hahah

Sam did some flips too

Steven did some sweet tables and i took the pic late. woo

Cody got gnarly!

at the park it was decided that instead of hanging around in ak for another night that we would head to sams batch in papamoa, which from all accounts sounded pretty sweet.

So after a quick stop at t whites bikes we started the epic drive down the island.

perhaps the only time the van was ahead of the legend.

cody and I stopped at the top of the Kaimais to get some sweet facebook photos.

ha ha

Cody & I got stuck in traffic in tauranga for about an hour, a road than usually takes 5 mins seriously took an hour. wtf. tauranga is just like a mini auckland...at least their were some babes in the cars next to us to keep us sane for the traffic. ha ha.

Then we arrived at the house. wow. this place was rad!

it had an elevator for petes sake! so wild.

then we all packed in to mummy merc and went to the liquor store

and we got some videos out. cody and jed are stoked!!

I thought that it was real funny how we went crusing in a $250,000 car to get a couple boxes of double brown and porn. hahah

Absince! that i cant spell!

jed went to sleep and we woke him up. ha

sam went to sleep aswell. ha

AHHHHHH
next morning woke up to a wonderful day, was so good to stop out the back door and on to the beach

went for a surf/boogie board/kayak for a couple hours then sams awesome parents went nd got some chicken for lunch and we all had the best meal of the weekend. thanks yo!

then we went for a ride at papamoa park

killer box jump!

jaredd

jared

Simon did some whips!

cody did some fufannynus

then cruised over to the mt park well on babe watch the entire way there

Simon blasted the crap outa the bowl

okay its not quite focused but simon blasts!

headed to the big ramp for some fakies and almost getting to coping height!

over under!

headed to the beach for a perv and a chill. Tauranga/The Mt actually has its nice sides I must say, on days like this anyway.

jed found some new undies

from here headed to sams for a chill, and one final effort to find my phone again which dissapeared damn it all!

then stopped in for one final ride at papamoa then headed home.

Heres a couple quotes that I can remember from the weekend:

"my penis repluses pussy"

"should of got the midget porn"

"this knife is pretty blunt, but it could still kill someone"

What a epic goddam weekend!
thanks everyone.
and sorry for putting you over your download limit for the month! ha ha.

I'll update with stevens 21st pics soon as.

untill next time . .

Oh, if you have my number can you please txt me just so I have your number now? as i lost all my numbers...I still have the same number as before!

I'll leave you with another pic of my cat, shes a killller! woke me up one night meowing and walking around and around my car with this rat/mouse thing in her mouth. shes a killlller!

Oh, and watch this! wtf!

byeee!

steven and piggy from ak came and met us half way for good times.

Phillip did some airs

steven wore a beater

Simon blasted the shit out of Ngrawahia quarter...

Piggy did some tables

some Maoris at the park wanted to steal out undies.

Also, random fact! did you know that Black Sabbath played a music festival in Nghraiwahia in the 70's??

to raglan!

some did some sweet tables. ha

but really, he did do some sweet tables.

jono did some airs and jibjabs

piggy did some sweet airs and

some of the nicest lookbacks I've ever seen. rad rad

simon looked at the pretty sunset or was it as pretty as?

I saw a naked girl in raglan. pretty much the best day of my life...if only my zoom worked better? ha ha

Also, as we were leaving town, we were stuck in traffic and some locals told the groms in the back seat to 'giz uz a chup aow' as we drove off one of them threw a chip on the ground, and then simon looked back in the rear mirror to see about 5 of them jumping on said chip and one very happy looking fellow getting to the chi p on the ground first and eating chip. ah. was a sight to be seen.

rad. i'm working too much these days so don't really get to ride/take pics with everyone.
will be in AK this friday for good times and riding so hopefully see an update on sunday!
rad rad

oh heres cody passed out and being led into the paddy wagon one night out on town. this night also resulted in me being banned from bars in rotorua for the next 6 months, wtf. life ruleZ

Phillip brought his shit to the street!

This photo is kinda confusing as it looks like hes coming from no where...iiinnnnnnnnresting!

Then we stopped for a drink stop, influenced by Haimona...do the dew!

bbbllluuururrrrrryyyyyyy ahhhhhhh

2009-02-10T08:47:00.003+13:00

So, I'm not really too sure where to start with this one.

Jed's taupo Jam was on this weekend just gone, I was just able to attend friday & night as i had work on saturday.

Friday didn't really get off to a good start, with Brian taking it hard, and he is now spleen-less and as far as I know still up in hospital, Brian took a pretty bad crash and I hope he's doing okay! when i know more i'll let everyone know.

But apart from that, friday seemed to be a nice sunnysunny day for riding in the sun and getting some time in on the dirt jumps before saturday/sundays jam/comp thinggg.

this kid boost's like wild.

Langlan's flippin' on through

i thought this picture was kinda funny.

Philip

just to give you an idea of the jumps . . .

after booking into the backpackers and a bit of lunch and the skate comp had finished the park got pretty heavily sessioned, with some pretty retarded stuff going down, Melborne is rediculous!

anyway, i could really care less about whip to footjams so i took a few picture's of Caleb absolutly killing the big bowl.

Cody 'ill drink to that!

From here it was back to backpackers then on to the friday night party. was super good times! thanks to jed and everyone who was involved in getting it done!
i took about 300 photos this night so no doubt pissed some people off. but anyway, in cobrasnake fashion, heres the pictures:::

when we were sitting on the deck of our backpackers we looked across the way to see george louis mark caleb and someone else! wild!

Turns out that gisborne was staying at our backpackers aswell!

this pizza probably saved the night

Phillip found a book of the other people in our backpackers room which had a picture of a man with a surfboard on a horse surfing a wave! wtf! look at it for yourself. haha

god did phat skidZ/stair riding next to the barrrrr

pete was stoked!

$2 for one nip of Barcadi, $6 for a triple barcadi & coke??? yes please!

jeff's ballZ

Melbourne was stoked on real NZ beer.

I think this is jed's little brother who was drinking cola

phillip suggested a beer.

can you see his mum in the background being stoked as????

Then a few people when to the skatepark for a dranken ride
jono had a flat tyre but still managed to do some backflips...willddd!!

bikini girls! wtfff

and that was about my night out. lots of fun riding, lots of booze lots of boogie and lots of good times!

heres all the pictures that i uploaded: http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f357/_ryangray/feb6-2009-Tjam/

And now, just to keep some kids happy, here's a few pictures from our trip to Putaruru earlier in the week

the day did more a less turn into a flyout session which is why i wasn't really in too much of a hurry to get the pictures up. but here they arrr

Jesse with a pretty large flip

then he took his hands off & did a no handed flip !

Simon boost's

sam riding my bike

jed

simon with a sweet look back

pete going beyond flat

cody with a simon

please excuse all the party photos. but heck. party/drank is just a part of BMX as riding itself. rad. see you next time.

bug in my room!

bye!

fuck up biker fags

2009-02-02T08:46:00.003+13:00

Then we went for a wee street ride.

Phillip barspin fakie

Simon curb t-whip

and i got bored so i put this together terribly!

simon b-hop manual to 180 over a decent gap 3 stair + curb drop.

edit - for some reason this picture doesnt appear to be working, just go here to view it: http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f357/_ryangray/jan30th-2009/simonmanual180-1.jpg

Cody gave me a bunch of footage on a disk that i'm going to put together soon and post up...just as soon as i get some time off work.

and hers my cat just because.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, George has cracked his Colony Bloodey Oath frame:

Which makes a whole heap of broken stuff lately, Jack snapped 2 pairs of cranks well he was here, one profile and one macneil set, Georges Colony and Jed cracked his zion, codys eastern grim reaper is cracked.

I havent been around that long in BMX, but with all this new 'lite weight' frames cracking is this a sign that BMX may of pushed the whole lite weight thing a tad too far?

Something about a frame that weights under 4 pounds has always freaked me out a bit . . .

Probably see you this weekend!

this time do it backwards

2009-01-19T13:03:00.002+13:00

another update in which we are traveling through time.

Around the start of the month cody simon & I went in to ride an abandoned theme park in the hope that the pools would be empty, but what we found was that they are covered in some green algae, which wasn't exactly ideal but we found some little jib's to ride anyway.

Cody moving boulders out of the way.

Cody

Simon cancan'in

Bumper boats + green water.

Simon table

Simon & Cody racing around the go-cart track.

Cody manualing around the pool

don't break the rules!!

Simon

Simon is scared of t-rex

riding dinosuars . . .cody makes it look so easy!

Then a couple days ago, friday i think, we went across to Taupo to pick up Jack who has been tripping around the south island for a couple months and has come to Rotorua to spend his last week in New Zealand in the best city of them all!
roootoooorruuaaaa!

Anyway, taupo pics . . .

Jared currently has a broken arm, so he just came along for the ride and had a wee roll around on harley's bike.

After the park we headed over to the natural spa thing where I felt like a perv taking pictures . . ah

then we headed home we a brief stop in some small town with a sweet bike statue ting:

Also, jack had some cheese in his bag which hadn't been in a fridge all day so the van stunk, well actually it may of been someones stinky pads but who knows . . .

On saturday it was proposed to head to tauranga and all thats inbetween.

Within long the park struck again, much like 1408 hotel room, fucks with people/bikes.

first trip there took out cody, not long after that took out jacks wheel and this time sams crank!

Jack oiled himself up

Simon 180 over seat

Jack 360 down the stairs, i think its about 8 stairs.

jack jack jackkk

Simon 180 turndown

Jack 360

Giant kiwifruit!

we then headed to 17th ave for a bit, met some rad locals who said something about dirt jumps, and we headed to some mtb park thing, the jumps were a bit under-maintained but i think all but jack had fun on them.
i don't have a speedlight or any fancy flashes so my photos here are pretty average as always.

Ak dude, tailwhip

tauranga dude, tabletop

SImon turndown

Jack about to get happpyyy ::::::--------]]]]]]]]]]

Jack rockin' the see-saw...wow thats one word i've never had to spell before.

after this simon & jack went for a swimmy swim swim

then we all went home, after of course:

And as it is Jareds 21st next weekend we had some dranks on the saturday night for good time as always at homedizzle street.

Um, cody took some pics simon took some pics i took some pics and good times were had!

Girl Talk is this sunday at cassete number nine, if you're in AK and have nothing to do come along and dance with some hipster babes!

stay rad!

its always okay if the first times gay

2008-12-29T12:36:00.003+13:00

We will thank Simon for the quote of today.

I havent really had enough pictures for a single update so I've saved up pics from the last few weeks and this update is the product of that.

kinda glad that the window reflected otherwise you'd be getting full frontal, well maybe half frontal because it's Cody.

So after work on Friday at about 1030 I picked up my girlfriend rach & then cody & jack and headed off to Auckland.

cody popping a beer and denting the ceiling of my car with the bottle cap.

got into Ak about 130am dropped a very sober jack and cody at stevens then i went to Suite for a few hours with rach, and had a mean wiksky sours and a rye manhatten. noooice.

after louis saying that tailwhipping off was too hard he just threw a truckdriver off the ledge..i mean why not??

from vic we headed back to stevens where we had left earlier as the BBQ was just getting started.
I think either we arrived late or steven got started too early. either way, was willddd.

cheese loaded fries at wendys are shit

2008-10-27T21:16:00.002+13:00

seriously. never even bother with them, I love Wendys with all my heart, but today I was let down by them for the first time ever.
"Cheese loaded fries" for $4.50. Which is basicly about 10 fries, horrible cheese sauce & shitty bacon left over bits.
don't waste your money! I can't warn you enough!!

ANYWAY.

Apart from that huge dissapointment today, Phillip, Cody, Simon, Jared, Jack & I went on a wee trip to Maketu, Papamoa & Tauranga.

After arriving at Maketu and riding around for 10 mins or so Jack exploded his wheel, shot mate.

Not a happy jackie!

Phillip flowin' around

After 30mins or so kinda realised that the park was pretty rubbish so decided to carry on, but not before Simon let his tyre have a sit on the bench . . .

fufaaanuuuuu

lens cap off this time!

Went to papamoa park for a bit, did some sweet flyouts, Simon went willddd and 360ed this and tailwhiped everything in sight.

Didn't take any pictures here tho. well. apart from this sweet one:

2008-09-13T00:06:00.003+12:00

Today, well technically, yesterday Friday the 12th of sept. jack woke me up at 130 in the afternoon about the same time as simon asking to go for a ride.

The weather had been on and off all day, in fact driving to Simons it was raining so we really had no idea how it was going to turn out.

but we made the venture to Ngongotaha park anyway.

Had a wee ride here for a couple hours, Mitchel was wagging school and came down aswell.

i dont even really understand how people can blast 4 ft quarters, here mitchel does it well I botch the photo.

Jack decided to take his bike apart well simon blasted the wee out of the bowl

rad

then we went home because Jack has pulled his bike apart.
cody arrived home just as jacks bike got fixed and we waited around for him to put his brakes & junk on.

jack ate shit on the lawn and. . .

Simon ninja kicked his way outa there!

at the skatepark there was a bazillion kids riding and equally as many girls that the kids knew...so strange these days how bmxers seem to know girls . . .

Jared

Cody hang-fiving well the cranks spin

Sam gets better every time I see him ride

Rad

well i was taking these pictures everyone rushed to the quarter which could only mean one thing . . .

Jesse I think this little shitheads name is, x-games glory.

then everyone went back to doing tabletops . . .

because i can't decide which pictures looks better I'll just put both in . . .

Simon blastin' wee's again. I prefer this one myself!

then we got KFC and went home

Sam was stupid enough to leave his bike with us and he got a new paintjob thanks to the memebers of 32 homedizzle street

HAIL HAIL HAIL HAIL HAIL HAIL HAIL

HAIL HAIL HAIL HAIL HAIL HAIL HAIL

and the final product with custom numberplate, bottle holder & sock holder.
rad

hope you like it Sam!

I came across this clip aswell, yet another reason to love Barry Obama...or another reasn not to care.

haha.

goodnight y'all.

The Doors fucking suck mannn

2008-09-07T15:10:00.002+12:00

Yesterday I was awoken by Simon with the wonderfull news that Luke & Steven had come down from ak for Codys 21st the coming night, and Luke actually does still ride so he brought his bike down aswell.

We all met at the skatepark for a wee ride.

cody says hi!

simon says grizz!

Luke runs on the ground when he tailwhips

Brain getting down with some 'raditude'

i dont even think jack meant to do this

Simon gettin' it done

Luke gets back in the swing of thangs

Brian wanted some photos for etnies. but I don't really think these are up to standard so I'll put them on here for you...let me know if you want them for your shit Brian

Just to show you how high this is . . .

Icepicking like mad

2008-09-01T01:17:00.003+12:00

HI HI

I took a bunch of pictures on Friday, but i can't be bothered making a post about it so here is a link to the photobucket album with the pictures inside of it:

And here is a little sample of the pics inside of said album:

Jack

Jack

Jack

I think this kids name is Jed?

Jed again if thats his name

Jack getting Xtreme

Simons ass

that kid that is maybe called jed

im a shithead and can't remember anyones name, but this guy is a drunk!

this guy is english, or french, or both, closers to one but not the kind of what is closer...i dunno you tell me

this person is many a thing

jack feeling at home with the trash

here simon is next to me bugin' out like a tribe called quest

simon here takes a picture of himself

jack wants to give you a french...or english kiss

i got bored on the trip on saturday and make this in the van. next time it will be proper and not jack getting bigger and bigger...but I know you like it that way

can you guess what this is? leave a comment and if you guess right I'll buy you a lolly.

oh, i ended up posting a big sample of the pictures, here is the link to all the pictures if you cant be bothered right clicking on the photos: http://s51.photobucket.com/albums/f357/_ryangray/aug29_2008/?start=0

Neato.

On to today, 31st of August is it???

Met up with brian george jesse jack and simon in town
brian went home to wifey
i think george and jesse went to the dirt jumps to meet up with us but we went to some schools instead. SUCKA'S!

Jack fired out a rail a bunch of times and i learnt how not to take pictures of jack firing out a rail a bunch of times, I don't really like how these pictures came out but you might like them which would make you/me wrong.

you know its serious time when the tounge comes out

from here we went to this shitty grass hip which was awesome
took off differently every time, but every time was a good time! Do I sound like a church camp leader or what.

anyway . . .

this may or may not have been landed with feet on pedals. may not or may of

I think this photo is rad

well trying to peer into the boys dorm i discovered that there was now two of jack!

and simon! omg!

whippywhippywhipwhip

it took way too long to get this picture because i suck.

Then I went home to get ready for work.
work was boring, but I made some good coffee's and tasty cocktails and i got some tips.

All in all a great day.

i'm gonna get some stickers done up soon that you can't have, or maybe you can and maybe im just joking...ooooohhhhhh but which one am i joking about. ha ha ha, you might find out one day

ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa

goodbye for now.

i'm too stoned to drop in aye bro

2008-08-30T21:01:00.002+12:00

2006-05-10T13:05:00.000+12:00

yeah so.
as most of the loyal prophecy viewer's have probably noticed i've been slacking on the updates.
well.
just over a week ago I moved up to auckland & i dont have a camera here.
now you're probably thinking. what about luke...he has a fancy camera.
well yeah. hes just a fucking slacker.
or if you wernt thinking that and were thinking why the hell did you leave rotorua for auckland.
i wish i could tell you.

um.
so yeah.
untill I sort out my money & figrue out how many H.P's I can afford i wont be adding any pictures to here.
um,
I'll try & get Luke to update this at some point...he has some good pic to put up aswell.

um.
yeah.
thats about it.

if you have an old digi cam to get rid of/sell then lemme know.
i dont really care how shitty it is...as this is a pretty shitty blog.
shoot me a 'computer generated message' on ryan.gray@hotmail.com
but dont add me to msn...i hate randoms.
noice.

oh yeah.
nah.
adam stinks.

Get Digging!

2006-04-28T09:02:00.000+12:00

this is for all of you.

Cody & I went for a dig by ourselves yesterday.
we had a whale of a time & doubled the wideness of the 5th in an hour.

Just think if there had of been 4 of us. and 2 hours.

Cody, rockin' the spade.

Anyway.
I cant wait to dig again!
because trails are the best.
I've had dreams about them the last couple of nights.
rar.
I've got the fever...trail fever!

okay.
dad just said to 'beat the feet'
So i guess im gone

shitty update aye!

drunken tards

2006-04-17T10:01:00.000+12:00

So.
If what Luke says is correct then hes going to add the riding pictures in at the bottom of this update.
If he can stop talking to 39472898324.5 girls for half a second.

Anyway.
On Thursday I went up to Auckland to see the Cold By Winter/Jonestown Sydnicate show + see a couple of pep's.
On Saturday I made my way back, but with luke in the back sseat playing has gat & almosting knocking my head off with the damn thing.

We got back around 5ish, where we met Simon & Cody at the skatepark then headed back to my place. People got their alcohol then proceeded in having a couple of quiets.

At some point later in the night Moffat, Kirk, Itchy & The Bastard arrived, Brian was already intoxicated & you'll probably see in pauls video just how crazy he was.

The fridge before pep's got back with even more Ranfulry...and something that has stone in the name? $8 for 12!

Cody, with the best of both worlds. Nice hat.

Simon, you know how he rolls. Thick.

Luke, ugh. I cant think of anything to say that isnt an insult.
The hats were awesome on this evening.

ugh...rock on? west..no...door frame.

still DRE

"whats that...I smell...EMU"

This was during the game, Cody pretty much picked up every 'finish what you got' card.

Sorry ladies, but cody is definatly closed.

but then on the other hand. . .

021-HOT-STUFF

go one...you know you want. otherwise he will be forced to drop to a size 9.

In about an hour from now one of Brians bottles had urine in it. yupyup.

Lukes a camera whore. and Moffat likes Pink.

Paparatzi

now.

for what you've all been waiting for.
I think its cody filming? I dont know if he meant to put it on video or not.
but either way.
it was a good thing that he did.
Luke & Simon. 3 Inches Of Blood + Alcohol.

Right Click & "Save Target As" to download Right Here

Now, Luke. its your turn.

I wanna see all the badly timed shitty angled photos that I took.

edit
yeeah.
so.
luke takes his fringe up his ass.
WHERES THE FULLSTOP EH CUUNT

Shit, has it really been that long?

2006-04-07T11:32:00.000+12:00

people have probably stoped bothering to come to this blog by now.
but yeah.
There havent been many updates because I've been slacking & luke lost a good months worth of pictures from his camera...including those hot myspace pictures.

Okay, I'll check to see if this update is going to be more than just writing.

okay, yup.

Heres a couple of shitty pictures, where people are going lower than they usually do, because they love me taking pictures of them riding.

Steven, head down. Must be the cool way. LOLerskates.
Oh yeah, its over the transfer aswell.

Simon, with his signature move.

Simon, Euro boost is what the file name is. but I've seen Simon go about twice as high as this, so lets just call it a euro over the gap.

Simon, Abubaca to fakie...belive it or not.

So, well. thats all the latest pictures. heres a couple of misc. that I dont think have shown up on the site.
but they probably have.

In case anyone was wondering what happened to Simons show winning Demio, its gone. thanks to a dumb ass at Taupo.

Also, this is Jeds new jump in Taupo.

Im sure I've posted this before.
anyway, its literally in a volcanic valley...their last jump landing colaspased and now theres a bunch of steam rising up where it once was.
crazy Taupo peps.

oh yeah, I forget to Mention awhile ago that the bastard got a pic on bmxonline, taken by losey I belive.
this was the picture:

pretty fancy stuff.

oh yeah, I dont think I even put this picture on this site...I probably did thoe.

Brian doesnt go big.

well we're on the subject of cool things.

Heres our dirt track, 2 months in.

If you're friends with us & are passing through town, feel free to give me a holla so we can get digging.

OKAY
I finnaly got around to adding some more bullshit to this.
um.
I really dont know what to say.

I found this picture on myspace:

For anyone that has actully been here you'll know how amazing this really is.

yeah.
hah.
SO I thought I had more to say.
nope.

Anyone in Auckland wanna hire me to paint your fingernails?

Rotorua Dirt Jam...PAIN

2006-03-14T10:18:00.000+13:00

So, well, because I'm lazy, I am just going to copy & paste the blog I did about the Jam on my myspace to here, so its going to be more about the people than the riding, not that I got many riding pictures anyway.
So, well, enjoy I guess.

Wow, this weekend was off the hizzy!

It all started friday night with drinks at my house, walking to stevens, getting kicked out of stevens, I stole Nic's bike to ride to the skatepark, drunk outa my mind to pick up Nate-dogg Timmy.

We ended up meeting up with the rest of the crue who were walking back to my hizzle, just to let you know how it was, I was already in the back seat of the pimp-mobile with 3 bikes, then the bastard decided to jump in on top of me, cody was on the roof, 2 more people were on the bonnet, adam was on the boot for awhile, untill he fell off...he ate it hard.

haha, good times! got back to my place & watched Aggroman & RIDE ON, 2 of the greatest videos ever. Check them out!

Oh, Mike was drunk, as in druuuunk.

Next day, being Saturday, woke up, got some shitty mcds for breakfast, then headed to the trails where gisborne were, it was super windy so we didnt really hang around for long, we more a less headed to the skatepark where the rest of wellington was, there ended up being about 30 riders at the skatepark...some silly stuff went down, slippy slippy!

It was then decided that we would head out to the Luge, after about 30mins of fucking around we finnaly made it up there, the crue consisted of these dicks:

Lurch shaded out on this picture...and I took it.

Luging was completly wild...WILD i tell you, so many crashes, jeff actully flipped his luge cart top over tail, I rolled over mark a couple times...bastard was a mad man...so much fun...cant wait to do it again.

oooh, yes, we saw some red bull girls at the top of the gondola, bastard harassed them, Lurch is rad and their number somehow ended up in my phone.

then at the bottom they found us, gave us more red bull and chatted for a bit.

funny enough almost everyone got in on this picture.

from luging I belive we made our way to the trails, and everyone slowly starting getting going, I somehow ended up being a judge...so I basicly had to sit on top of the hummer & write down the best tricks in my opinion, not the best lines, but tricks. . . yay!

jed sucks

tim rules.

Jeff is also up there with being almost cool.

oh yeah, alot of people ate shit...Timmy came off real bad with a broken ankle, nate dogg bruised his spleen, Simon ate it hard aswell.

fuckin rotorua!

after the dirt jam Adam stupidly let Bastard drive his car in the gravel pit...boy oh boy was it wild, redlining it in reverse, he even headed towards the piles of gravel & somehow got adams car airborn....was some funny shit.

after this everyone basicly got booze & got drunk, a few pep's came back to my house for a more mellow version than what seemed to happen at stevens, saftey meeting in the tent, Luke brought the whiteboard, nic brought the pens.

my hizzzle, Kirk fred joined us for the fun:

after drinking at my house a few of us made our way to stevens, which was wild!

after some altercasions elsewhere we finnaly made it back to my house for sleep.

well, the bastard arrived a bit alter, drunk my burbon and then went to sleep upstairs on the couch.

on sunday everyone headed home pretty early, apart from Nate dogg & tim, who hung around, well, because tim was in hospital. Nathan stayed at my house then I belive picked up timmy half way through the day & headed home.

I got a txt from tim at 4pm saying "U spray paint a jersy barrier fbm up the bum no babies we just went past it" OH HELL YEAH!

haha. yes.

oooh, and my toilet wall got attacked throughout the weekend...check it:

this is above my toilet:

it used to be a pic of Nick, who had the torso of the month . . .Im gutted.

ha ha, I also just noticed this today:

top stuff.

thats it..

what a masssive blog, i hope you enjoyed.

I only have one shitty new picture, i.e wannabe art fag shot, and this is it:

Gaaaaay.

I missed out on so much this weekend, I guess you just had to be there.

bye!

newer pictures from this week

Simon, 180 smooth as butter OVER the cone...not around it.

Simon, lookback...turndown...take your pick.

Steven hopped the cone aswell.

Oh oh, check this...now: .Click Here For The Best Video You Will Ever See

yep, thats it.

trademe is a bad addiction when you dont have a job.

So, the Bastard, is exaclty that.

2006-03-02T22:51:00.000+13:00

Hes only been in New Zealand about a month & already has two updates named after him.

Why you ask this time? Well I had a full update ready to go on Tuesday, Brian jumped on here to check his myspizzle & accidently x-ed out of this window deleting my blog entry, arrrr.

Trying to think what I wrote is the worst so I won't bother.

Ooookay, as some of you know Last weekend was the BMX Dirt Nationals, yup, thats right, the Nationals . . .

I didn't personly jump the jumps, but I don't really think I heard a single good thing about them, but people still managed to ride them good enough.

Lets go back to Friday, we all met up at Shed7 for some alcoholic beverages + Riding, I arrived a little later with a little friend of mine who can handle more alcohol than the average girl! thats right, more than 1!

Some hot riding went down, some even hotter drinking moves. The rope swing was brought out, and how no one died...I don't know.

Next day everyone woke up, hungedover, tired...and I was sore from sleeping half off a matress...but at least I had one...HAH SUCKAS.
We more a less headed to the beach for a swimm + perv.

After breakfast we made our way to the jumps at Papamoa, Saturday was 'practice' day...its big time! people more a less got drunk, rode every now & then and talked shit on the crappy music.
I think my mix including Michael Jackson, Snoop + Shania Twain was the about the best music of the day . . .but thats just my opinion.

The Bastard managed to somehow get a motoscooter, jumped the kicker, which is about 30cms high, landed in a nose wheelie which carried on for about 5meters then took off into the trees, crashed, took out the taillights....the owner wasn't impressed...all in a days work.

The night gets pretty wild from here, lots of woodburn from being thrown down the ramp, Shohan managed to get a beat up hand from skating, and if you wern't hit by a bottlecap then you probably wern't at Shed7.

Next day was finals day...this is where it call gets serious, wait hold up, this is New Zealand remember, more beers were drunk & riding went down.

Digger rode pretty well, he also managed to take himself out later on in the day.

Hugh made the trip up from wellington for this event & really should of placed alot better, he has Island Bay pop for sure.

Big 360 through the 2nd set.

Big no hander. eWok approves of this type.

Liam was out, sweating my helmet out + keeping it real.

1 hander? turndown? will the mountionbiker ever get it right, check the file name fool.

Nac Nac...no where near the standard of BMX Plus! but about as good as you'll see around here

Adam was riding good + being a real cunt at the same time.

As expected, Jed won everything, big backflips, big 3's....he just goes big.

360 Tailwhip to the pedals

I think more a less the only reason for these was to get more speed....and speed he got!

Just a plain jane tailwhip . . .

As you probably noted theres not many pictures, because my battery died after one heat, so I missed Jeds flipwhip, the bastards Frontflip, Georges 'iron monkey' attempt + a whole heap of other stuff.

There were a couple of cameras about so maybe they'll pop up somewhere.

Errrmmm, I cant really think of much else to say now.

Was a good weekend, the rotorua dirt jam is on this saturday...should be just as fun.

Everyone arrives tomorrow, so its going to be a crazy weekend I predict.

Whoop Whoop.

I'm sure I had something else to say, but fuck it.

myspace time!

Like Fire!!! Decepticons!!

Beach, Farmer Tan, THE BASTARD

2006-02-14T21:58:00.000+13:00

yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, arrrrggggghhh.

What the fuck?

Its Tuesday night, I'm poooped..goddam work.

Erm, I guess we should magicly transport back to Saturday...I think it was Saturday, no sorry, Friday, Mark Lepoooooooota and Brian Enzilloti (or some shit, its fancy) aka The Bastard arrived in Rotorua for some drinking + riding.

Friday night was pretty wild, We got into one bar, we tried so many others but got the big no, everyone was pretty loose, t'was a good night.

On Saturday we all woke up at my house, then realised that the Bastard wasn't with us...goddam americans pimpin' the shady ladies.

Once we found the Bastard I think we all started our trek , while ditching everyone and anyone insight. We hastilly sneaked away to Tauranga + Shed7 = before everyone woke up.

We started off our ride in Tauranga with a stop at 17th Ave, which I always find fun, as did everyone else by the looks of things.

Maaaaaaark, smith grind across and almost all the way down.

Brian, Somehow airing out of the big Quarter there.

Brian, Big t-down with the farmer tan rockin'

Errmm, from here we headed out to Shed7 for a quick blat.

The Bastard, big wall tap.

Simon was also on this trip completly killing it!

After Shed7 we headed out to the beach for a swim & to watch the ladies...ha ha.

har har.

errr, then we headed home for alcohol...where the Bastard was in full effect.

On Sunday we headed back off in a similar direction to Saturday, but instead carried on all the way to Whangamata, we met up with Caleb and his band of merry men.

Had a pretty fun ride at the park, Brian rode his first snake run ever and ripped up all over the place...got pretty wild on a no hander aswell.

Simon, with style.

My battery pretty much died here now, so i'm going to cut this day short...you dont wanna hear about Kebabs & beach antics.

Bunch o' fags.

Meeeh, I'm really lazy right now, I have a couple pictures + videos from Taupo on monday to post up on here, I'll get it done tomorrow or something when I feel like not falling asleep at the keyboard.

check back in the next couple days!

Edit:

Spokey dokey, so I got around to uploading those videos.

They're nothing fancy, not edited, just put up here for you to waste your parents download limit for the month:

Mark, Smith Thingie

This video is of Mark & Jed, but mainly of Jed...he's getting super good these days.
Taupo Footy

Theses no real story to Taupo/you don't want to hear about stealing the Demio & going to Taupo to pick up Brian's things.

So heres the shitty pictures I got:

Mark, Abubaca on the big spine.

Jay, Air with some rad sunnies.

I don't know this guys name, but here he is doing a 360 over the ledge.

Jed, apparently this wasn't very high or nose dived . . .ugh?

Jed again going super high on a 360 invert.

And thats about all I have to offer.

I don't think there was a single tabletop in this whole update, is prophecy slacking or what?

I think we need some input from Luke...hurrry up.

Okay.

I'm tired.

myspace time.

Shits for real this time

2006-02-07T19:24:00.000+13:00

Goddam it...Even Adam has updated this shit more than Luke has latley, we need some Dave Manconi jokes + bad spelling up in here.

Arrrrrrrrr.

Well, this update is going to be all over the place, since X*Air we've done quite a few trips, I've got alot of bad pictures, and I'm not using photobucket anymore for my pictures because my bucket is full!

Erm, where on earth do I start.

**Checks sitesled**

**checks My Pictures**

**puts 'Black' playlist onto iTunes**

**rollin' down the street smokin menthols sippin' on gin and juice... LAID BACK!**

**beeeatch**

Erm, these pictures are from early January.

Cody, Cody almost has his tables down...get those knees in boy!

Simon . . .he seems to bust out a sit down turndown every now and then, and I always seem to get good pictures of them...HAH.
I suck.

Fast forward a month . . .

**hey ladies ding ding ding** (The ding was from a cowbell you ninny's)

This past weekend we headed up to auckland, for one, to go to a show, which featured, Brick Vs Face from Tga, The Valley from Oz and Comeback Kid from canada and also to pick up Marks friend, Brian from the USA, who you'll no dout be hearing alot of soon.

Erm, we arrived on Saturday, stopped for a quick ride at papkura park, which is always fun, then headed to our backpackers, and got drunk.
We met up with George, Louis & Caleb who was down from whangamata for the weekend.
We then headed to the Liquor store for more booze, got drunker in Albert Park, shouted abuse at myspace girls and then headed to the show.

met up with Luke, Steven & Ash at the show, about 30mins into brick vs face everyone other than Luke, Steven, Ash & I left to drink a bit more, after the show and chilling with myspace girlies...Shohan! and some sleeve ripping went down...hahahaha, I wish I had a video camera for this shit, myspace some pep's and ask about it.

Then headed into town, bumped into a very drunk Cody, drinking a beer in the middle of queen street...and when I say middle, I mean the middle of queen street.
Louis was shouting at me saying that Simon had gone to some girls house for some R18 action and people were just generally rowdy.

I think I'll leave it at that because you came here to read about BMX...not dumb drunks.

Or I could take shohans advice:

Ryan says:
haha, people are coming to the site for bmx stuff and will hear about myspace girl
Ryan says:
s
[shohan] says:
hahaha too bad

meeh, Sleep was had and hungovers arrived.

On Sunday we bummed around town for a bit, checked out the crazies, had a ride at devo, then headed to Vic to meet up with . .

Mark! Who doesn't like you.

We had a wee ride at Vic, which sucks, haha.

Then I think we went to Glenfield, which was a bit of fun...but faaar too many skaters and brakeless is never good for that.

Then headed to Devonport with Fred & Ashley.
Fred was rockin' a new frame...which was rockin'. (how lame was that)

erm, pictures:

Ashley...just taking a foot off at the top of the wallride.

Fred, doublepegging the top of the sub. ASSSHOT...thats alot of s's.

Mark, Get a haircut you hippy!

Errrmm, from the devonport I think we headed to a set of trails that george & Louis have been working on, they were super fun and trying to stop well blackberry is ever approaching is always fun! NARF.

Heres a bad picture of me jumping through the 4th jump on the small set.

I was going to put up a picture of the trails themselves but I dont wanna give too much away.

As we were leaving Nick Franklin and his group of fellow scumbags arrived with motorbikes . . .I don't think that too much damage was done thoe, well I damn hope not anyway....the trails were awesome.

From here I wanted to head out to another set of trails....but that never ended up happening, instead we went to Vic and arsed around there for a bit, had an intense game of footdown on the new concrete pad and Simon & Luke got high.

Heres a real bad picture of Luke boosting viccies box, he has some better pictures on his camera...do an update cunt!

After this a street ride went down, which was hella fun...it started at Wendy's! so how could we go wrong!?

Luke crashed pretty hard...which kinda put him out for the night...and we saw Fred with his fine lady at Aotea Square, haha...U.T.B.N.b.B ! ! !

We ended up staying at Aussie Adams house, who was sporting a hella peel.
SEXY.

Next morning we woke up early, didnt end up riding till around 12, hit up the railway wallride then Manukau and then went to the Airport to pick up Marks friend, he took a little bit longer than expected, so of course we hit the Airport bar and watched a bit of the superbowl.

Brian arrived, without his bags or bike...dumb airlines, but I think he has his stuff now...well I damn hope so anyway.

We then headed back to Manukau, then decided to start our trek home, hit up a couple places went through a storm and got home around 8ish.

Had a rad myspace session then went to bed.

Humm, I think thats enough bullshit to bore you with.

This friday/saturday is going to be badass, trail digging + riding + drunken americans.

BMX LIFE

**G's up hoes down while you motherfuckers bounce to this**

Errmmm, yeah, thats it thats all thats all it is.

Wheel, adam, hot stuff.

X*Air, 2006, take it away Nate Dogg.

Well, Thursday last week we started out trek to X*Air with:

Cody

Ryan & Greig

The trip was mighty fun as you would expect from a 6 hour trip, our first stop was in Levin for a riiide, a bunch of skaters were there and they ripped shit up.

Then we carried on to Wellington.

I think we arrived around 6ish, drove around for ages looking for Nomads, we finnaly figured our shit out, dropped our stuff off and walked to the Mill.

The Party zone...pfffff.

Cody and his Fridge.

This is where the nights turns, well a bit blury.

From our backpackers we made out way to the Boatshed, which blew me away and as lame as it is to say, there were alot of pros around, its kind of amazing to see the guys you see on TV and in magazines walking around you drunk as fuck among other things.

Boatshed was super fun, I dont think I really need to say anything about it because everyone knows how fun the X*Air bar always is.

Friday! Was a pretty lax day, caught up with the AK riders and the wellington dudes, checked out the city, Te Papa and where eveything was.

Friday night, started to get drunk at the Quest, then made our way back to Nomads and started drinking away our tiredness, on our walk to the Boatshed we stumbled across a big group of riders, rowdy riders who were singing Carl(I think/hope!) a happy birthday, then over to the boatshed, which was pretty much a repeat of Thursday night, just with more people!
I also was walking through past the bar where this one girl asked if I was ryan from myspace...fuck yeah!

Boatshed scene on Friday night.

Getting it done...number two came next.

The all famous Shylo.

Saturday, X*Air pre-lim day. Everyone was pretty hungedover, but thats what X*Air's all about isn't it?

Hugh from Wellington, big no hander.

Jed, Tailwhip.

Kelly, Tabletopper.

Jeff, Big Three.

Paul Langlans, Superman seatgrab.

Dirt is more a less the only place where I could get decent pictures taken as everywhere else my camera sucks for as it, well, licks penis.

After Dirt was Park, which was real good, I wish that I had pictures to prove it.
Alot of good stuff from the Locals went down, Jed Landed a flipwhip, George, Louis, Mark, Matt D, Jeff, Mark...hell, they all rode well.

The pro's ripped shit up aswell, Gary Young pedals far too much, Ryan Guetler is a machine...alot of good stuff went down.

Saturday night!

There was a BMX party on a roof, alot of pros turned up, which was pretty crazy, free Beer and good times!

After the free beer dried up a few people left then a few hours after that everyone was at the Boatshed...and I mean everybody.

Louis was pimpin'

As was Natedogg !!

I didn't hang around the Boatshed for very long but still managed to stay up untill 530am doing fuck all....shit sucked.

Sundaaay, Finals day.

Dirt was post poned untill later in the day because of the wind, Jeff managed toe at shit twice trying to jump through.

So it was to Vert, I hadnt been to vert so far at X*Air and it completly blew me away....so much free red Bull!

har har.

Alot of good tricks were going down, 900's, double whips, whip 540s, Dwyane has got flairs dialed.

Heres a burry pic.

Unknown rider blasting.

Tim Wood Won Vert and for good reason.

Next up was park, which I dont have pics from, but I'm sure a bunch will surface soon enough.

I cannot really be bothered writing out the big tricks, but heres a couple untill video and shit surfaces.

Ryan Geutler (whos name I cant spell) won Park & Dirt, he landed a front flip transfer, which was probably the most 'out there' trick of his run.

Colin Mackay did hopped up a ledge and 180 tailwhipped to this little kicker about 4ft away, which was just plain stupid.

Pete Ravdio tailwhipped everything, did a Tailwhip drop in, then a 180 barspin to 180 tailwhip out on the spine...stupid shit.

Brian Kachinsky did a downside icepick still on a rail 6ft out of a 8ft quarter.

Harrington did a fufanu on the top of the wallride which is about 12ft above a 6ft quarter, also tried barspin to fuf but couldn't get off it.

I guess I'll add to it when I can be bothered.

Ryan Geutler won park and I'm pretty sure that Gary young would have gotten second, but im not sure on that one.

Now it was back over to Dirt, which was on...I missed alot of it as I was talking to Dao Ravideo who had popped over for the day.
But I didn't miss jeff's 720 attempt, which went a bit pear shaped when he over-rotated it and had to walk off with a scuba mask on. Good shit!

Grosser, x-up seat grab superman indian....what a mouthfull.

MacKay, Super clicked x-up one footer.

Luke Parslow, Tailwhipp.

Nastzio likes the shady ladies.

Ryan Guettler ending up winning Dirt aswell.

Hes also riding for Dave Mirras new company MirraCo. who are looking to pick up some pretty heavy hitters in the industry...and not the competition riders you'd expect Mirra to pick up.

I dont know the full results as I had to come back to Rotorua on Sunday night...$30 gas all the way from wellington to Rotorua? no problems!

Randomness:

Peeeeeephole.

Not the only kind of riding that went down on this bed

UTBNB!

Cheeeers boys.

Thanks to everyone who turned up, rode, bought me a drink, took me there...X*Air was fucking awesome, the best yet....its a pity that the next big thing is next year, but I'll be ready....maybe my hungover will be gone by then.

All the pictures plus the videos from the trip are up in here:
www.upthebumnobabies.com

If codys still been bothered I think he was writing up his version of X*Air aswell, so keep an eye on this site.

Oh and if you took some pictures at X*Air and arn't going to be doing anything with them then feel free to send them my way! my e-mail address is: ryan.gray@hotmail.com

Check out Ichi's (sorry if I spelt the name wrong) blog, which has quite a few pictures, its all in Japenesse, but its still rad: href="http://blog.livedoor.jp/gmc0330/
If you want, this page translates it: http://world.altavista.com/ but not properly I suspect.

Also, check out formbmx.com its some sweet dudes from down south who are trying to get a NZ bmx magazine going...check it!

Rotorua definatly was there.

UTBNB...for real this time

2006-01-16T15:25:00.000+13:00

Why hello there, and welcome to another scum filled update.

Lets take it back in time, to a Friday of last where a young cody and slightly older ryan started their trek to Auckland in a fab ute which is seen pictured below.

Yeeeeah, so driving in traffic can get to you.

Thrid person writing is a bit tough, and confusing...so we'll take it back again now.

On the way up to akl we had a quick stop at Ngrawahia, which is always fun.

Once in Auckland and with Georges directions we got to Papakura park, which looks alot different to the pictures, and I found to be pretty fun, some stuff maybe could be a bit bigger, but its a fun park with lots of manual lines and pussy drops for me to get extreme on...hah!

From papakura we headed up to the Motorway, on the way we spotted one super hot emo girl, Auckland is awesome.

Arrived at vic around 7ish for a ride/shit talk, afterwards headed to New World for a quick purchase, well on Lukes behalf anyway:

Cellphone quality picture, Luke Quality hotness.

Then we headed back to Lukes to watch the Shadow video and a shawdows fall dvd, dreads like damn!

Saturday, got up around 12ish and Luke received about 10 million phones calls, we ended up going to Vic for a ride then carried onto a Mini (which I have forgotten the name of)
The crew basicly consisted of these peps:

Plus Kurt and his friend who I never got his name.

Tim Hales, seat grab one foooooooter.

I suck at taking photos so thats basicly the only semi good one, some good stuff went down, Mark getting his shit ready for X*Air and everyone else going off as we all know they do.

From the mini we headed to Glen Dowie, where I havent been for about a year and a half, a pretty fun ride went down.

Geroge, 360 over the bin.

I took a couple pictures on Marks camera (as his one actully works) and sometime in the hopefully near Future we'll see the pictures on here!

After an hour or so ride there we headed back into town, checked out Vic and scammed Queen street for hotties, and yes their was quite a number of attractive females.

Around 8ish a bunch of us met up at Viccies to down some booze and talk some shit, I could talk about Louis & girl jeans...but there may be some people under 18 years old that read this blog so I won't.

We headed over to the Birdcage around 9ish and a bunch of people were already there having a jolly good time.

From this point the night gets a bit hazy, other than Paul Moffats video being super super good, the video had a real fun feel to it...and word on the street is that hes going to be making another one soon, so harass him well you can for a copy of the video, it'll be worth it.

As most people have probably heard by now there was a small confrintation between 2 quite well known riders, in my opinion it was pathetic and completly un-nessercry, thats all I'm going to say as I dont want to drag down a good night.

Pictures? yes, that was my flash going off every now and then, cheers to Manconi for seeing it.

The bar, Notice a Tim Hales in a blue beanie...this was when Tim was actully inside the bar.

The Garden bar where the video went down.

Notice the headless dude in the picture? really? neither did I.

Louis getting his play down...CHEAT!

There was also an indian 21st party going down...a couple messages got dropped by some bmxers on their message board thinger...they'll be stoked I'm sure.
Cody + Luke, smoother than MJ

The back of the man that made the night Happen, cheers paul. U.T.B.N.B ! ! !

Man...Manconi, he doesn't like you.

Check Brendan Jones in the background, he was having a good night and is far too cool for myspace or tight jeans...aye Haimona!

Thanks once again goes out to Paul Moffat for making a super good video, the birdcage bar for putting up with us, zombie-flesh-eaters for spreading the word and everyone for turning up and having a good time.

And to think it was just a warm up to X*Air.

Speaking of which, X*Air is next weekend! The 2 people from Rotorua who are going to it are heading down on Thursday, $30 spending money = $7.50 a day, I'm gonna be living on toast and beam.

err, yes.

On Sunday a quickish ride went down at vic, we may be appearing in a hip-hop video...oh yeah?

Luke has a couple pictures on his camera so hopefully they will be added to this blog soon.

See you at X*Air.

AUCKLAND VIDEO NOGHT AGAIN , THIS SATURADY

FLYER ---

As requested by the always sexy Caleb here is the video I talked about in the last update, the video is nothing great, flimed with a point & shoot digi cam and thrown together without music or effects, or anything for that matter...as I'm lazy.

Right Click and "Save Target As" to download
Black bike + Girl jeans = Simon, Baby Blue bike = Cody, Bronze/Brown bike = me(ryan)

As my computer fucked out a little while ago I lost everything I had, pictures and all so quite alot of footage that was going to be up on here wasn't, but heres a couple that resurfaced from a street ride last year sometime.

Steven, Wallride? Manual? at the Church wallride.

Simon, wallride at the exact same place!

Simon, Manual on a skinny ledge at a school full of boobies!

These pictures came from yesterdays ride, theres not many, but its something to keep you bored.

Simon, wishing his bars were Lukes bum.

Jared from Gisborne, turning it down, Jared & Tyson are currently here from Gisborne, I think a couple more were down aswell. **Awaits angry myspace comments**

Simon doing alot less...or more than you think, 180 attempt.

Simon, getting the 180 done.

I think that about sum's it up.

Check out peg-leg.net and buy some shit.

Tata.

Girls, Showers, BMXers? Sounds good to me

2006-01-08T16:38:00.000+13:00

I suppose this really all started on the zombie-fleah-eaters forums...oh wait, actully, at Taupo we were given some complimentry tickets from some scumbag washed up wakeboarder to a comp that was taking place at Lake Karipero.

We headed over to Karipero at around 11ish, packed into the Demio were Cody a very Hungover Simon and ryan (me!)

We got there about an hour late, went and say Hi to Louis & George, George had crashed pretty bad on a downside whip earlier in the day so he wasn't riding.

We hopped the fence and sat in the riders area for the dirt jumping comp, the rider turn-out was alot better than expected, and there were quite a number of spectators aswell.

If there was a big trick that went down, I probably missed it, but heres a couple of pictures from the dirt part of the comp.

Louis, Turndown.
Louis also managed to 720 the box jump in the park competition, keeping the Bolter Camp happy im sure.

Mr. Manconi, 360 smooth as a wendy's burger bun.

A real bad picture of Tim Hales, he did these and either pulled the back end of his bike up or tucked at the same time, obviously Tim rode everything with super clean style and even threw down a perfect tuck no hander to late no foot can. WHAT WHAT!

Mike, nothing at all, he also managed to throw down a turndown after this before even hitting the ground.

Mike, Invert to the shoulder...I don't understand how he can get these like this on a straight jump.

Jed, Tailwhip pedal to pedal.
Jed rolled away from a flipwhip after a couple of trys towards the end of the day..slick stuff indeed.

There was also a park competition, the park was pretty crap, with a drain going through the middle of it, but Haimona, Zombie Mike, Pommy Mark & Louis managed to ride super well considering.

I didn't go back today to see/hear the results so I can't tell you the who did whats of toooday.

After it all was over we started the trip back to Rotorua and with my second ever Subway meal down we were off to Putararu.

Oh yeah, we also stopped in cambridge for a quickie, I got some video from this and if you're lucky I'll post it up for all to see...but probably not.

Simon, grassy invert out of the bumpyist trannie in the world . . well, it Rivals Gisbornes anyway.

Putararu

Simon, Inveeert.

After getting back to Rotorua we headed to codys to pick up the new shawdow dvd then to simons for a couple of beverages and some watching.

No more Heniken? Cody

Slayer records = Neat

Today was a pretty mellow day, after leaving Simons we had a quick ride at the Ngo half pipe.

Then went to the skatepark for a wee ride and then headed out 2 da EST SDE for a street ride at Lakes high school, where we basicly rode a curb and a bump, I got some video from here which you'll probably never see, te he he.

I apologise for all the table pictures, but its not like anyone else is updating their sites . . .

X*Air is in 2 weeks, and I have $2 saved...I'm fucked.

Simon doesn't like you either.

Bye.

Everyone Falls ... Here Comes the Pain

Boxing Day tripizzle

2005-12-27T07:57:00.000+13:00

Well well well, yesterday around 10am, after a steamy MSN conversation it was decided that we would head to Napier for the day, Napier being 2 and a half hours away.

We ended up leaving about 11ish with Simon, Cody, Steven and I loaded up on red bull and ready to..well, be bored for the next 2 hours or so.

We stopped at Marks house in Taupo and it was decided that he was going to tag along, so we squashed him into the ute and carried on our merry way.

We arrived in Napier around 1ish, and went straight to the park on Marine parade...which really, well it wasn't good, but it wasn't bad, if it was layed out better it could be a whole lot better...but it wasnt and as I'm brakeless right now it wasn't exactly fun jumping something then more a less having to stop and turn around again.
Oh and by the way, never talk shit on foam pits till you've tried one...they're super fun.

Mark, Air on the most fucked up quarter around.

Simon, Tuck no hander on the box with no, well, a wee bit of tranny.

Quite a few Napier locals were there, including this guy, who reminded me alot of Tommo and Hoani who used to ride in Rotorua, well, Tommo still rides...I think and Hoani is in jail somewhere.

Unfocused backflip on the spine, he actully cased backwheel but still managed to ride out alrite.

Walltap

Oh yeeeah, apparently hes in X*Air vert aswell, this vert ramp is crazy big, but theres a vert quarter on the other side of the park that is even bigger that he somehow managed to tailwhip but just stuffed up his landing and rode into the side of the foam pit.

After almost dieing from heat stroke we headed up the coast a bit to Havelock north, which probably wasn't worth the trip, its an old school bowl which I imagine would be super fun if you were in the mood for hauling ass at a single hip.

We headed back to Napier to ride these little quarter things in town which were EVERYWHERE.
The street ride turned into about an hour long ride and we only hit up half of the town, probably one of the funnest street rides I've been on.

Mark, Feeeeebling a cobble ledge.

Simon, Wallride on one of the many buildings with walls like these.

Steven, manual wallride? manual wallhit? well whatever you wanna call it.

Simon, wallride.
I'm pretty sure that this is the wall where Ruben somehow tyreslide the top of it...only Ruben.

After riding street we said out goodbyes to Napier and started our trek back to Taupo.
On the way back we stopped at a waterfall . . .

Then Simon busted out the camera again to take this shot:

awww, how puuuurdy.

We arrived in Taupo around 9ish for a 30min or so ride.

Mark, Table over le hip.

Simon, turndown over the hip...he definatly has no Fear of the dark

Mark, Icepick griiind

Steven, we all know what this one is.

Mark doesn't like you.

All in all it was a fun trip, and it made us decide upon not going the Napier way to X*Air...which is only 20 or so days away.

errrmmmm, I don't think theres anything else to add.

Have a happy drunk new years...I know we all will be, Ohope will never be the same again.

2005-12-05T19:08:00.000+13:00

Whoa whoa...This weekend turned into alot more than I thought it would be.

So I headed up to Akl with Steven on thursday for the Motorhead concert which was on that night, the concert was super good, Lemmy didn't let me down, and Luke enjoyed it so much that he talked about going to the Cold By Winter/Kitch/Scarlit Streetwise/Tomorrow Comes Silent gig that was on the following Friday night.

We woke up on thursday, with buzing ears still (Note, this was my first show/concert/gig ever) and mucked around for a bit, had a wee ride at Vic and more a less chilled all day.

Around 4ish george, louis & adam showed up at Vic and it was decided that:

Adam

George

luke and Steven

And I would head off to get intoxicated at the park around the corner from Lukes house then walk down to the show...after about 2 drinks each, some people were drunk...others wern't.
Adam managed to pick up a mean box on the way down, George thrashed the box aswell, Adam even showed it off to McDs...awesome.

The show was pretty rad, met a few peps, saw everyone get loose and even Haimona, Mike D and tripe6 Mike made an appearence to nod heads at the back of the room well Luke steven george ran rampant up front, Adam took the early taxi home and we all walked across the Motorway home.

Next day woke up at Lukes, most with sore necks and headed down to vic to meet up with a couple of peps, Paul was down there to grab some last bits of footy for an edit which should be out sometime next year and everyone seemed to have a pretty mellow ride.

Pommy Mark was rippin', Invert at Vic. (Photo: Luke)

Mark(eWok) learnt how to turn down apparently.

Oh yeah, there was an EXTREME scooter rider there, who was bustin' so much stuff.

I think Mike sum's it up the best by saying "I don't know weather to laugh or cry...but I think I'm gonna laugh" (Photo: Adam)

From here we headed out to the trails which were featured in an update a wee while ago, the trail dudes have been digging and just keep on making new stuff, there was a new hip, new 6 pack, bigger step up and another line new from when I was there last.

Mike, yes he got that shit flat, yes I cannot take pictures.

Mark, Three six tee good and proper.

We headed to Wendy's then back to George & Louis' house for the night, which ended up being pretty mellow, which is always good, Louis, adam, steven, jess & I popped around to Marks for a couple of drinks, in the end it was just Louis & I there...but it was a jolly good time of course.

Thanks Mark!

errrr, and Bill for getting in the way.

On sunday we woke up headed to the bakery where Adam once again entertained us all...you know what I'm talking about.

We headed to Devo for a quick-ish ride..theres a couple pictures from here...but I'll pester Luke into doing an update and he can use them.

We then headed out to the trails, where a wee 'jam' had been 'organised' about 20 people turned up, drunk Bavarrrrrra(Fred says roll the R), rode bicycles and harassed Luke jeans.

Mike, styling through.

Liam, getting Xtreme.

BBQ anyone?

After the trails we stopped in an Lukes for the night then headed home to Rotorua on Monday, which just so happen's to be today, oh yeah, Luke is here for a few days...fuck knows why he came to this shithole.

Rumor Mill
This is a new section which I am bringing in this update, it may be the first, it may also be the last but either way, read on.

Louis Bolter has swapped his bike for a skateboard:

The kid in question.

Louis Bolter, the BMXer? can't be.

Juding by that smile we may have seen the last of Louis in BMX.

Geroge was spotted in this shot at a...errr...what looks to be a Mudvayne concert? the boy finnaly got some taste in music.

Now this final bit of news which has been submitted to me I find very hard to belive, Luke Manson has apparently started listening to, and liking a band other than Slayer . . .don't quote me on this, its just what I've heard.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Since I have random photos floating around I'm gonna bung them on here:

This update was boring as I am bored writing it, hah.

I'll leave you with a pictures of Luke taking care of his second life...myspizzzzle!

JEAH HOLLA AT CHA BOI!

2005-11-15T10:15:00.000+13:00

edit - this post has been updated as of 21nov, check it

Where do I start this mess...Well, I guess right here would be a good start,
As I was scrolling through internet forums about 2 months back I came across a post stating
"New Zealand" trip, so I responded to it, and found out that Billy was planing a trip to New Zealand
and was after a guide kinda thing, and this is where my idiodic niceness put my hand up and said
'yeah sure...why not!' But I'm kinda glad I did now.

My trip started on Thursday the 10th of November, where, right after being fired from work I started my trek to
Auckland in the red beast.
I Arrived in Auckland and then hit AKL traffic, 100 kilometer per hour speed limit and I was
hitting a top speed of 10 when I was lucky

One handed photo taking madness.

After I finnaly got through traffic I got to Vic park where it was packed out,
Lots of people showed up, a good 25ish riders were their shreding.

I more a less chilled and tried to snake as little people as possible.

From here I headed to Lukes place for the night, where we watched SuperSize me with the folks
and myspaced it.

Next morning, wake up at 6am to pick up Billy from the airport at 730am...
So guess what, his plane was delayed...so at about 10:30am we leave the airport with one very tired..well not so tired
American chilling in the back seat sporting a gnarly beard.

We headed straight to Vic park where Moffat was meeting us, Liam Stewart was also there riding/sweating.

From Vic park we headed to Birkenhead park I belive, which was a bit of fun if anything.

Then to devonport, where Billy somehow managed to jump and land in the over-vert piece...accidental madness is the best.

Then we headed over to George & Louis' house to see where dem nig's were at, after about 10mins of waiting there Louis arrived
and we packed our shit and got going back to Vic park . . .where once again, there were quite a number of riders..a fun session
went down.

Next day we woke up at George & Louis' house and proceeded to get our shit together and make our way to Lynnfield bowl,
for those of you who don't know where/what this is, its the Bowl that Mr. Manconi no foot-toothpicks in the T-1 video.
Actully, heres a picture of it for youuu:

Some good riding went down here, and it was my first experince with this place...and boy oh boy was it an interesting one.
We then headed to the New Lynn snakerun/bowl thinger, the place with the 'fullpipe' This place is crazy and is always good for a bit of
a carve around here and there.

Now, I'm kind of at a loss as to where we went next, but I'm pretty sure it was a huge hike out of Auckland to the so called
'sticks' or plain out 'where-the-fuck-are-we' area of City...where we rode at some pretty fun trails, well, they looked fun anyway
and by the sounds of things they have big plans for them, and judging by the amount of pep's riding around it won't be long untill
they get exactly what they want there.

Trails from the top of the roll-in.

These trails pictures were taken either on Saturday or Sunday, but no dout Sunday.

George, Downside whip on the dirt quarter.

Mark/eWok! - Seat Grab madness

Mark, with a very english Turndown.

Mike, Tabletop I guess you could call this thing?

George, No Foot Can...You ain't got nothing on Adam.

From here we drove for a bit, stopped at this Hugley large Shopping centre/mall/city thing, I think it was Bontanty or some shit.

Then the word on the street was that Mike & Aaron were having a bit of a hoe down at their house, so we pulled in for a quick
ride to sort out what was going on, a quick ride turned into about a hour long ride with lots of stuff coming outa the bag.

George, Air/wallride thing on the quarter/vert wall.

Manconi, Dave, Manual the Sub, he stalled this out for about 30seconds before dropping in...insane in the membrane.

Joel, Footjam Nosepick . . .footjam doesn't sound to scrummy.

Mark, Smithstall I guess its called.

Louis, Footjam fakie I supppose you could say.

From there we made the trek back to George & Louis' house to get changed then buy some Alcoholic Beverages, where Billy
bought alcohol for the first time ever...I don't know if I could survive with the drinking age at 21.

Then we headed to the doo, where quite a number of riders came out of the wood work to get loose.

I'm not going to bother posting all my drunken photos as there is too many, but you can check out all the pictures
from the trip here: http://photobucket.com/albums/a194/ryan_gray/billy_NI_trip/

Alcohol trippp

There was also a band playing cover songs there, but much to lukes dissapointment, no Slayer.

Mark & Itchy...Canadian Club!

Louis demolishing Luke with a couch pillow.

Slayer?

The Beast...Scot version

Fuck knows whos camera that was . . .but George was filming any and everything all night long.

Mike & Mark up high about .3 seconds before disaster.

About .2 seconds after disaster.

I think I'm going to stop here for now, as its Tourist shit time!

I'll add more pictures are writing in this for you to waste your time away on when I get back on Sunday...actully, I'll probably add
it in on Monday as I'm going to be fucked by the end of this week.

-ryan

So I'm home now....so tired, but it was worth it.

Soo, where was I, arrr yes...Rotorua!

Coming up the Chairlift after luging.

In Rotorua we went luging, which was a bit of fun, Billy got beaten, everytime, and met a few walls.

From here we headed off to Taupo making a stop at the Wai-o-Tapu thermal wonderland, that place where the FlyBikes team went when they came here, and it was so rad...a bright bright green pool of thermal stuff. Amazing stuff.

From here we headed to Taupo skatepark, where Steven & Simon were already there rippin'

Simon, Invert. Photo - Steven

Billy, Tailwhip pedal to pedal. Photo - Steven

About 30mins later Jed & Mark turned up to show us exactly how to ride Taupo.

Jed, Stupidly High nosedived 3 over the spine.

Jed, One again stuidly high 3 table over the spine.

Mark, Abubaca up theeere.

Jed, Table drop-in from the top of the picnic table thinger.

Jed, 270 tailwhip transfer.

After this the car decided to start playing up on us, overheating like a motherfucker kinda thing, and this was just as we were idiling, some oil and ater later it was driving a bit better.

We headed to Mark's house for the night, we actully went to this crazy thermal spring thing that went into the Waikato river...it was super rad.

Next morning woke up, headed to the bike shop to get a new chain for billy, then hit up the skatepark for one last final ride then started our trek to Napier.

About an hour into the trip the car fucked out, fuckin' piece of shit.

$200 towage fee later and we were in Napier, carless and just, sad.

Billy was talking about bussing it to Wellington and catching the earliest plane home, I just wanted to go mope in my own house.
Oh yeah, we also walked for about an hour and a half with 40kgs of bags to the place where we were staying...this place:

We more a less chilled around the tent for the night trying to figure out what to do.

Next morning we woke up and our host, Nikki started telling us about this good rental car place, $35 a day +kms or 4 days for unlimited kms.

We took that option and had a rad car with a reverse beeping sound!

Then we realised that the car didn't have a tape player of FM Radio so we upgraded to this thing for free:

iPod muuuuusic!

So we headed off in a much better car, one that works, and was alot better on gas...and did mad hand brakies and front wheel drive skids! I love rental cars.

We stopped in at levin, Palmy, Waikanai and then headed to Upper Hutt to meet up with Timmy.

Had a bit of a fun ride at Upper Hutt and watched Nathan click everything one step too far.

So Billy, Timmy and I woek up at Tim's on friday morning ready for wellington and all it had to offer, to Onslow bowl we went!

This place is probably most known for people carving round mouds out water and rubbish in the middle of it, its a pretty fun place, but only for going fast...brakeless sucks.

From here we headed to Pourua (fuck I can't spell) for a ride at the Maori face! Belive it!

Tim, Turndown outa the small end.

Tim, Feeble to crankflip out.

Billy, Tailwhip, pedal to pedal once again.

After we finished here, well, Billy and I were more a less fucked after riding and driving so so much over the past 7 days, so we decided to check out the Mall in this place, and after wasting $5 on instant Kiwis we left and headed to 'Holly Bagel' in wellington city, where Billy was introduced to L&P, which he said tasted like 'cough lollies' I mean, what the!

After a bit of a dash around town we headed to Upepr Hutt to ride and sort out the nights festivites, i.e getting drunk, and causing shit.

Next morning, woke up, not hungover thank fuck, and headed to...actully, come to think of it...I can't quite remember what we did, ah thats right, we mucked around for a wee bit, met up with Jeff and headed to Island Bay for a look-see...caught up with Tom, and saw the trails . . .they were so much different than what I expected, but at the same time fucking awesome, I can see that they've put in alot of shovel work...oh and Tom, that fucking firecracker bomb had my ears ringing for 30mins..my ears are pussy's.

We then headed out to the Airport so see Billy on his way, well, we chilled with him untill his boarding time, said our goodbyes and I hope I see him again some day, hes a cool kid.

We all know what thats for.

Saturday night I basicly ended up having a more mellow version of the night before, but had a good time again.

Thanks go out to Tim, James, Mark, Louis & George, Luke, Jeff, Nathan, Jared, Tony, Steven, Lou, Mel, Nikki & definatly Billy.

And anyone else who rode with us, gave us a place to stay or spiked my water.

It was a fucking fun trip, met new people and had a good ole time.
