Drifties at Luke's

So seeing as i haven't been able to go riding lately. Today I went out to my friend Luke's place. He lives on a pretty big property and for a while now we have been meaning to make some sort of rally track. After a bunch of rain over the last few days this weekend was the perfect opportunity to do it.

So this is the first track we carved out of the countryside. It's just a mellow figure eight the corner at this end is pretty long then the one at the other end is nice and tight.



Charlie getting sideways in the Hulk...



It was inevitable that this was going to happen. Kane just got unlucky in his RX Imprezza.



Such a fun day. Although I'm not sure how much more of this kind of punishment the hulk will be able to handle...

If you know anything about rallying/throwing your car around aggressively... send me an e-mail murphy.sam@hotmail.com thanks!

Shoulder Surgery... lame

So about a week ago i thought it would be a sweet idea to learn backside rodeo's at the bottom of the pipe... it seemed like a good idea... the snow was soft and it was a super sunny day. i wasn't getting them at first they weren't flipy enough then i decided just to throw it straight over and it turned out pretty sweet until i landed. i put my arm out to brace myself. i felt that same pain i've been feeling everytime i put my arm out when i fall for the last year or so.

My shoulder has been progressively getting worse so it was inevitable that surgery was down the road somewhere.

I was my surgeon today and he's given me a reference to get an MRI and an Xray on the shoulder then we'll go from there and see if surgery is the only option.

I'll keep everyone posted on what happens with it when i know more info.

Charlotte's road gap.

Sorry for not updating this past week i've been pretty tired and busy.
but about a week ago now Charlie, Pat, Ryan Willmott and some filmers went upto Charlotte's pass to hit the road gap.
the weather on the day wasn't the best but we still made the most of it and got some cool shots.
We rode upto the resort in these sweet over snow bus type things what where pretty fun.


And this is a photo of the road pat with Pato standing under the road gap.



Sorry for the short post but i have to get off to work.

Come back tomorrow for another post on a photoshoot in the pipe with Clint Shirvington
