Great to here. Backpack and camera must be fun to lug around all day 
yeah i gave the bag to a couple of liftys on some runs today so i could get a few hits in without the extra kilos and it makes a big difference

Does it throw you off balance much? Or is it more just having to work a bit harder with extra weight?
ahhh hard to say normal riding it is fine but when you pop the bag like shifts differently to your body maybe if i did the bag up tighter but yeah just kind the bag moves differently to you in the air it only affected me once when i tried a nose it kind spun me over onto the nose alot more and i got smoked also i was on a box and it was pulling me backwards a bit so i came of the side its no biggie really i would preffer riding without it but yeah i have had some heavy stacks with it on and it dosent seem to be that different almost more padding but in my case where my camera case is a converted drill case its pretty hard so im not looking forward to the day i land on my back haha

Love that first shot DJS. Great backdrop, is that a jet at the top in the sky?

I sometimes ride with a backpack and i do up all the straps tighter. The chest ones and the shoulder ones.
They help a lot and as long as i dont chuck too much in there, it doesnt affect rotations or balance.
I had a pair of half crap sunnies in my bag when i just stacked on a flat down box.
Smashed them to smithereens man

Yeah i think it is..
unless its something crazy i dont even know about
well unfortunately that means all of us NoHe folks are off-limits then.
Maybe they thought you guys up there would have more of an advantage over us, by the look of your pic the scenery is a whole lot more spectacular
You could have a word to Rider26 and see if they are planning to start another comp around December/Jan for the Northern Hemisphere crew?
Aussie winter landscape is comprised of rocks and stuff protuding the snow cover.
Northern Hemisphere landscape is everything to do with snow-capped or snow-covered 
There will be another contest for the Northern Hemisphere winter. I thought it would be unfair to include a previous season into this contest because everyone would already have a big collection of photos from the season.

Very nice shot. Was it clear for the whole day at falls? Started off a lovely day where I live and turned out quite overcast.
