Nice, I’m looking forward to seeing some footage. Hopefully you got some of those mad bails into that staircase haha!
Shit we forgot to give away a prize for the best dressed! K2 - you were the winner for sure!
haha, I was a little bit devo about that!!
quite keen to see some of this footage, came in here hoping it was already up
Ok guys I stayed up to 3 in the morning puting together this on my iPhone which was tedious I wasnt able to use my bros Mac as hoped. But its done!
Only bummer is on the day when deleting footage to make space for more, I managed to delete most of the ollie comp footage. Wasnt heaps cos I was competing in that one till nearly the end. So not much ollieing
Enjoy!
Trav if you like the vid, feel free to post it around on the GNU Facebook etc.
