November 5th

Being unable to do our usual 5th November bon-fire and fireworks on the beach, due to someone unable to steer a ship around a reef that had been there for a thousand plus years, the beach was closed. Although I was invited to a backyard BBQ and fireworks so all turned out well anyway,

More trails...

Few pics of the trails

Went for a cruise around some of the trails, must remember 20 inch wheels, plastic pedals, and 80psi in your tires not so good on mountain bike trails. Summerhill has over 25km's of walking and mountain bike trails and some of the best views in the bay.

Afternoon in the woods

Another day, another landing.
Been pretty wet up the trails this last week, not to bad, good for digging, pretty soon we'll be complaining of the lack of rain.

The shade has returned, fresh new growth on the trees.

Moving pictures

Here's a small edit I made up of a weekend spent jamming the trails. Not all the lines are running yet so you get what you get..... not long though, Summer is almost here...

.........dig

Spent the day claying up a landing, looking pretty sweet. Daylight savings is here, bring on the long evenings roasting trails also means there's loads of water to be carried.

Shed Seven

Here's a small edit, filmed and edited by an old friend of mine Jason Fox. I have loads of old footage sitting on my hard drive I could bore you for hours. This edit is a bunch of clips all filmed around 2004-06 at my old indoor set-up, Shed Seven, see if you can name all the NZ riders in there.

A few of the local riders organized an, all night jam at Arataki skate park last weekend, quite a good turn-out, no way was I hanging around all night although I did stop in for a roll,and a beer also managed a few shots. Check out the slide show.

Stopped in for a jam on Adams backyard mini the other night and couldn't resist snapping a pic of local ripper Richard West, gettin' his Grizz on. Can't wait for the bowl section to be added on!!

On the road

Went on a bit of a road trip on the weekend via Mata Mata to pick up Mr Simon Cavanagh, because he actually decided to move there???? caught up with Hugh at the Langlands homestead in C-Town for a jam in the foam pit (cheers Paul) and on the way home a sweet roll at an old favorite of mine, "Putaruru bowl".

Loaded up ready to roll.

Update from Jed

Here's an update from Jed on his journeys. Cheers Jed.


The past two weeks have been fun and productive. There was a video clip shoot for Chris Gentry at Stephen Murrays house a couple weeks ago. Other than that Luke and I have been jamming the yard and the new line the past week. Heres a photo of the Ute I got, a firework display at The Compound on July 4th and a Red Hawk, theres a nest of them close by and they learn to fly in the yard its cool. There was one of them the other morning eating a rat of the top of the big trick landing.

The Is What It Is Jam is set for next weekend 16th July in the back yard. Looks sick Vans and Pro Tech are sponsoring it so it looks like it will be some fun times! The weekend after is 1st round of Dew Tour Park in Beach City Merylands on the East Coast. So ill have some news for you all soon.

Thanks heaps,

Jed

Diggerest

Had a good day at the trails today, got the skullery boys along for a dig, got loads done. Started a new line "the Skullery line" should be sick, get so much done when there's a few diggers.
