Would you bend them over the bonnet of facemans car and do them one by one or try a bit of in-out in-out and go back and forward between them?

Seeing the worlds only new challenger was kinda wootish...

w00t for riding shuttles in Rotorua on good friday!

It's a public holiday Woot

Finally getting around to doing stuff that I've been meaning to do for ages...

Took 20 of my best MTB photos from the last 1.5 years, tweaked crop & size etc, then got 8 x 10" semigloss enlargements of them all. Took two days and over 150 bucks including a mungisly thick black page book, but when you see them all together its fucking stunning.

Coffee table book for non-MTB mates to flick through and understand why we be doin it y'all

Sounds nice!

That's a brilliant idea I might have to try that.

a team of 12 year year 13s go over to a island in the south pacific ie fiji, samoa, rarotonga... and repaint cass rooms, community buildings, build toilet blocks, all that kind of jazz, just helping out people less fortunate than ourselves

Ah, you do know that 'people less fortunate' still have the ability to wield a paintbrush, right?

yes but they generally do not have the money to buy that paintbrush let alone the paint, its called outreach and helping others get out of poverty

I don't mean to be rude (I atually do think it sounds like a good thing you are doing) but would it be much more effective and benifical to give them money to build amenities etc rather than fly over and it do it. Surely much much more could be done with the same resources.

Riding all yesterday at castlerock and finally figuring out how to jump.

for several reasons:
1) they dont neccesarily have the time and energy to do the things that we will be doing, and if they were to do it themselves the living standard would not chnage which we also want to increase
2) personally we do not get to see what is done with the resources we give them, so we do not get more motivated to do future things like what we are doing, and i personally will get to see a bit more of the effects of what i raise for the famine each year, i will also get more motivation to do this
3) also they will not get impacted emotionally and spiritually as well as in their physical living environment, which is probably just as important if not more important then all the work we will be doing on their land and buildings etc

so yeah there is a few of the reasons

It's another sunny day

Roadtrips make me go uber woot, especially when it is in the South Island
