I might do that, how far did you cut yours down?

Heaps aye. About 25mm to 30mm on each side.

Only need to take aobut 10mm at a time until youget it where u want

Did a long loop today 18k or so.

Second pic a bit old school. And out of favour with all the Sam Hill DW fanboi's.

Horse, Hayes Mag and XT.

Up Captain Thomas, out to Godley head and back and down Anaconda on the way back, then over taylors mistake back to Sumner.

The rocky climby bits up CT and the start of Godley were, um, "challenging*" on the SS.

Oh, and big thanks to the guys who cleaned up the track on the way down to breeze col, first time I've ridden it in a while, and I discovered its now full of awesome flowy win!

Then I got to pick up pizza and a winezor from the ruptured duck on the way home. YUMM!


* I dabbed. Lots.

Today I did some skidz in the snow


it wasnt the plan to be in snow, but well there it was


....up the Croesus

How long is the ride into the hut on Croesus Colin? I have a hankering for some overnight missions.

Today took about 2.5hrs for the ride up, a bit slow cos of the snow and wet rocks and taking pics etc,

however packing overnight gear and having a good time along the way etc you could expect 3(+)hrs

and it would be a great place to party

Otaki skatepark --> waikanae skatepark and massive step up --> paraparaumu bmx track

a short ride, but a goodie, I had a blast, trails in good nick and turkish delight is bedding in well

four of us built No.4 jump(well a drop really) ..in a new section of track ...
Its choice

then we rode Whites Bay loop...had rain the nite before, roots a bit slippy, bit of the old back wheel trying to pass the front..couple of front wheel washouts...ahhh its all good.

I nailed a drop down into a fire road, last time i attemped it I managed to drive my head into tyhe turf...so thats progression

great morning

finished off the kicker and went down the road and had a sesh on it.sweet kicker 3.3 meters long 1.8 high

Sneaky pre-work trip this morning, Rapaki, Mt Vernon, Traverse, Thompsons, Marleys hill, Flying Nun, Old Dyers, up the 4wd tracks to Brake Free, Gums, Dazzas, More 4wd up to Cool Runnings, Flow, Bridge and out the valley to home.





Awesome morning for it. Every time I go near flying nun there seems to be another new bit of track, and awesome track at that. And I'm getting back into my grooooove.
