Tripping to Baw Baw

On Friday afternoon Charlie and i Ventured our way down to Victoria for the Forum Battle At Baw Baw. We stopped at most of the little tourist destination's along the way to waste some time.



And even stopped in at Super Cheap to buy some flood lights.


The Competition was on Saturday morning so we stayed at Jason Maxfield's place in Mansfield, woke up the next morning at 5:30 to continue down the road to Baw Baw which none of us really knew the location of, so it was a bit of an adventure. The drive there wasn't exactly cruisy... after the long stretches it was a solid hour of narrow windy.



We arrived at about 9:30 and sorted out our lift passes and parks pass for "The Hulk" (my car). After that stuff was all sorted we pretty much got straight into practice for the rail comp. Now as some of you may know I'm not the best rail rider so i needed some practice for sure.
The rail comp didn't finish till and 2:30 with Robbie Walker taking out the open's and Andrew Roth taking out the juniors. Once this was over we got some food to eat and decided we wanted to do a night shoot on the stair case rail the competition was held on.



The view from the top of the mountain was pretty cool, it looked way down into the valley and all the plains below.



Sunday was a super bad weather day so we had a meeting the with producer of the Ride productions movie and spoke about her ideas and our ideas and really brainstormed and asked alot of questions. We also got given our contracts so this is pretty legit now. Just waiting to get a bunch of filming done.

On the way home as we where going through Wodonga i copped a speeding fine. Not very fun at all, $243 and three demerit points for going 99 in an 80 zone. I didn't even mean to be speeding, there where cars both in front and behind me. I must have just vagued.

I was super excited for this trip on Thursday and Friday and it more than exceeded my expectations! Was super fun hanging out with Jason again.

Sorry for such a long post but... Thanks for reading!
