Times in Taupo...

So, I've been in Taupo for the last few days helping out Jed build some ramps for his comp on Saturday 28th of May (next weekend) in Spa Park called, "Unit T3 Mindtricks", with a park jam on Sunday. It is going to be incredible, and Taupo never fails for a good time, so come and check it out, bring your bike and some beers, you might even get to witness a world first or two. Either way it going to be....

Can't show you any pic's of the ramp, you have to see it for yourself

Yes, we needed a crane.


Few pic's from one of NZ's best parks....Taupo

Mark, Bench Hop

Jed, 270

Nipple's are just fun even if their made from concrete.

Jed, T-Bog

Pilgrim

Jed Mildon sent me though some info for the new Pilgrim Unit frames....They look pretty nice

"The new Pilgrim Unit Frames are here in NZ ready for sale! so far this white one I have been riding feels sick! half link shorter on the back end but the control feels good and tricks like flatys, kick outs, 360s and tailwhips are heaps easyer coz of the lower angles of the frame. it has a mellow head tube so kinda makes the frame feel as big as my last even though its half link shorter back end! So far the strength test is 100%! This is the perfect all round frame I have raw, white and black. 20.5 20.8 and 21.."

Jed has a few more frames for sale $400 each which is a pretty good price, contact Jed for more info, jedmildon@hotmail.com

Roll-on

Heres a few shots I took on a street ride the other night with a few of the Tauranga crew, Allan, Simon and Scott.

Going

So, winter is almost upon us, the leaves are falling, loads of them have to spend 30 minutes sweeping to ride the trails.

Been digging a bit lately had a bit of help from Mot local Gypsy, Mork and Henry who is back for his holidays.

Few pics of Gypsy roasting...

Few more from the local park ATK

NZDS final round

Final round of NZDS this weekend, on Cogswell Rd bout 2 km's down off state highway 23 on the way to Raglan from Hamilton. See you there.

Haven't been shooting much lately, so thought I'd post some old skool pics.
Enjoy.

Tim Shackleford, at our old local trails on 17th Ave TGA

Needham boosting, before BDO had a brain freeze and took the vert away, that was always one of the best shows of the year.

Chis Fell, another BDO. What ever happened to this guy, I'd like to know....
He was very good, crazy to watch but very good.

An old friend of mine has organized this, Mt locals should not miss it. check out the face book page here
