sorry, not advertising for it, it was today....
anyway, a good day seemed to be had by all
i finally jumped the 40 ft double, its not as hard as i thought it would be, even styled it up off there for a crowd of people.
lots of tracks got ridden, i had a big high speed crash down a road, hit a rut and fliped and cut the top of my name but nothing serious. a guy fully taco'd his back wheel but stood on it and got it good enough to ride again, heap of people turned up that ive never seen in nelson beofre so it was pretty good to see new guys out doing it.

on the 2001/2002 nationals track, we had this nationals in a different place.
if we have next years nationals on fringe hill we are going to make the 40 footer into a 50 footer with massive berms going into it

are the nationals definatley gonna be in nelson next year?
that would be good, because ive heard theyre looking at having them at napier, wellington and rotorua aswell, which would mean i would be able to go to four rounds

well so far only nelson, dunedin, wellington and hokotika have put in a bid and im pretty sure the finals will be in the south somewhere, most likely dunedin buy the sounds of it

is it a double or is it like the roto double with a gap then tabletop then landing?
how high is the jump, like how high is the take off?
50ft is freckin huge. that is like as big as the jumps they do on new world disorder. it would need a freckin big run in to get enough speed.
