Rarotonga

For my brother Matts 21st the family went to rarotonga for a week of fun in the sun it was an amazing week filled with skids on our sweet rental GN125 and drinking cocktails by the beach.
The weather wasnt the best with alot of rain but it was still hot an made things more fun for riding the bikes around
One morning rach wanted to do a lap of the island and i think we had a cock tail at nearly every resort on the island,
I ran over the cross island track witn the hope of finding a water fall or sumthing able to kayak after all the ran but the catchment just isnt big enough for any chance of enough water.

coast trip 2010

once again me rach and the to ugly ducklings ( ryan hunt & ryan lucus) head from rotorua for the buller fest 2010. We had a sweet trip down doing sum sick gainers off a bridge we found in picton then into lake rotoiti at the head of the buller river.

buller fest was once again an amazing weekend of racing and partying, i got conned into going in a raft team for the nz raft team trials consisting of a time trial slalom and nasty 45minute head to head down a very low water run of the upper buller, we did end up winning which made all the hard work worth while.


The head to head boater x is always a really cool day with lots of people watching and partying the day away, i was really looking forward to defending my title as winner the last 2 years running but after a very long day came out 3rd after battling Sam for the lead and passing him then getting pushed onto the rock he and johan got past me but still stoked and a cool days racing.


Leaving the buller gorge and heading for the west coast is always a cool drive thinking of the sweet heli rides thanks to Bruce Dando and deep valleys filled with beautiful clear white water.

Hanging out in otaki

Me dan and harley went up to gundys to for the night last weekend, we packed up dans new as suzuki and harley rode my bike an headed for the hills but we didnt get far before the first damages. Harley was trying to pull wheels up the paddock on the way an fliped the bike and broke the mud gaurd which was pretty funny an he was ok. dans suzuki is a work of art with the starter not really working and both front brake pads falling out it was a mean funny trip.
