Woods

Got some good laps in the woods last weekend. Daniel White & Chester Ebbett made the trip over, even Goldie made an appearance. Winter is definitely on the way, days are shorter and leaves are starting to fall. Hopefully the jumps hold up good and we can get some Winter laps.

Phil, disappointed by the bumpy berm.

Jaye & Riley down the bottom

Goldie crossing it up

Goldie rides maybe once or twice a year and only up the woods, still killing it.

Phil, Tuck no hander

Winter is upon us leaves are falling, digging season has begun. Managed to get an ANZAC day roll on the trails. Trails were running super good, even after all the rain we have had lately. C-Town locals Paul Langlands and Hugh Wotherspoon made the trip over for the day along with part time local Nathan Saunders from Rotorua. Even had a cameo appearance from the elusive Gold Factor. Rad day in the woods with a good crew. Got the camera out to film some clips and make this video, enjoy.

Rad jam up the woods the other day, been quite a while since the trails have been running this good and even longer since I have had anything worth posting on this blog ( I don't use Facebook so feel free to share around). Thanks to a solid crew of diggers, Jaye Riddle, Phillip Callard and Conner Knox we have managed to get a couple of lines going. In between riding I managed to film some clips and put this together, sorry for the average quality but I had to use what I had. Cheers to all the riders that made the trip for what was a good chill trails jam. Cheers.

Afternoon in the Woods from Carl Cavanagh on Vimeo.

Been pretty busy lately, never enough hours in the day. Shot these pics a week or so ago never got around to posting them. Trails are running so good right now, should be a good jam this weekend.

Goldie shreds, tuck no hander on the second. Just before he took a big hit,which is never fun, so were down a digger for 6 weeks. Get well soon bro.



Been a few years since I seen this many Weta's, they like to live under the tarps. Bet you won't find them at many trails spots around the world.

Trails

Got our first ride on the trails today, not all the jumps are finished although it won't be long. What is running is so dialed, check out the animation I shot today of Goldie shredding "downtown".

Got a sweet jam in at the indoor last night, Goldie and I had the whole place to ourselves. Heres a couple of pics I snapped of Goldie transferring from the spine to box takeoff.

Mid Winter Roast

Got in a sweet jam up the woods this weekend with Henry and Goldie, trails are running so good, been real lucky with this weather, can't beat being able to ride trails in the Winter. Looks like the rain is back for a few days, so plenty of digging to be done. Check out the edit we put together of the afternoon.

Also Goldie sent me these pic's him and Henry took on his point and shoot to post, those boys were up the woods at 8 am Saturday morning riding by 9 so keen, its so good to have two guys so keen to dig and ride trails theres not to many of them around these days. Henry and Goldie had already un-tarped, groomed and put in a load of runs by the time I got there around half 11. All good though turn up and trails are groomed and ready to roast, cheers for that boys, although I still had to pay for it, trails took me out on my first run, sliding out on the last and getting covered in mud for my troubles. Anyway I digress, boys shot these before I showed up.

Winter in the woods

Been so lucky with weather lately pretty good for the first weekend of winter, trails are running so good, plenty of runs put in and plenty of digging done, soon we'll have 13 jumps in a row, so good...

Cher to Nate for jumping behind the camera lense,

All dread...

Took these pic's a few weeks ago just never got round to posting them, Goldie is back in town, killing it as usual, good to have him back. Lewis Jones made the trip from Ragland for a jam as well, made for a good day in the woods.

Henry with a spade full

Goldie, ripping as usual no-hander over the first.

Goldie again with a 360 X over the second. We've extended the landing on the second about 3-4 foot to the left so you can roast the hell out of it now.......so good!!

So.......Goldie turned 21 this week time to get loose, Had a good jam at the trails today with Goldie shutting it down....ripper. Caleb came over from Whangamata for his first ride on the trails since he got back from PA, and to dig some dirt, Mr motivation, think he was up here 9:30 this morning. We always get shit done when he's in town.

Fire and Dirt...

Couldn't make it to EDH jam this year which kinda sucked, but made up for it. Had the sweetest weekend, amazing weather, good friends, blowing things up and of course BMX.
Henry got back from the states after him and Caleb spent 6 weeks staying with the pawoods boys so he was pretty amped to see the trails running. Also plenty of storys to be told.

Henry......story telling

"Look....I've been to pa, thats not how you do it!"

Trails are running so good just about finished a new transfer line should be running in a week.
Few pic's of Goldie ripping. Yeah boi you ripped it up today brother.
