Damn son, i didn’t know you started this already!! looking good so far bro!!

Stoked that you guys enjoyed it! Glad it got you frothhing so hard Dylan haha thanks man!! 

Hi guys,

Was up the mountain for the last two days, was such a great time to be up there! One day (Sunday), we have snow out the wazoo, windy and low-light conditions. This made for some crazy fun laps with the crew over at north P, plenty of small but fun drops.. Had hardly ridden there before Sunday, but will definitely be heading back there next time we get a decent dump - so much fun!

The next day (Monday) was almost the opposite, pretty still and sunny conditions with fresh snow - by far my favorite of all riding conditions haha. Anyway, by then Charles and his team had thrown in an extra booter on FV (making the total 2) with a few jibs in between. SUPER STOKED that they are getting stuck in straight away and keeping the park peeps happy. Ended up riding park most of the day to try and get my feet back after the time since whis. Started out super well with some floaty straight airs and back 3s but went sour when I cased the absolute shit out of the top jump attempting a front 3 shifty.. So much regret cause I’ve only landed them on smaller jumps and it seems like I’ve done some damage to my heels (hoping not bad)..

Also, a must mention to some dudes throwing down in there. My god there are some good riders about! Saw Harley Trivic and Jye Kearney and their respective crews train-ing it into every feature and just sending it - mental-good to watch. Another mention to the kid who is on the park crew, he must be like 15/16 and he was boosting to outer space off the bottom jump. I say to him that he was sending it and he was like yeah man ain’t no other way to do it.. What a weapon!

Unfortunately didn’t get much footage cause my homie only just got his lifty job and thus a season pass so he was hiking.. Anyway here is a shot he did get.

Hey Terri biceps that young dude in the park crew is doing work experience and he’s from Canberra. We were talking to him that day we were hiking on front valley!

He’s actually really good aye! get onto him sponsors…..

Ahhh yeah nice one. Yeah for sure, sponsors do yourself a favor and sign that kid asap!

PARK UPDATE:

FV park has no kids written all over it now. Its littered with all kinds of features (up, flat and down) and has a top and bottom jump. Can’t wait to feel confident enough to lap it.

Leichardt is looking the goods, and will be my stomping ground for the time being. It has two decently sized booters - bigger than I think I’ve ever seen in there but super well built and nice to hit. Plenty of rails too, a very nice down bar sits just through the trees where they usually have the C box - hit it up!

Even Piper is going off, it holds a 4 or 5 jump line (great beginner size) and some beginner-progressive jib features.

Park crew are certainly getting it done for the rats..   

Sounds awesome. I can’t wait to get down there for a shred. Thanks for the update.

leichardt has those 2 jumps + the cannon rail in line after them
