Big man down...

The other day Patto took a pretty big hit on the tramps out at sport and rec... The big man was trying double corks and landed kinda funny on his ankle.
Anyway turns out he took a chunk out of his tibia and has a spiral fracture of his phibia.
He's out for about 6 months i think which is really unlucky because he was killing it this season...

First weekend.

Wow it's been a while since i updated my blog... i promise from now on to update more... sorry guys.

Last weekend was the Demo weekend up at perisher. I got to meet some really cool people which was good and had a fun day shredding with friends.

Shaun Belmore from Wet Socks was up there with his camera and we made a little video of a park lap... now you all know that i'm no good on rails but i try haha. Take a look at how bumpy the park is after about half a day of  a million people riding it.

Here is what we came up with...

Apointment with surgeon.

Today dad and i once again got up super early to head upto Sydney to see DR. Bokor. I slept most of the way up as I'm pretty sick from Tonsillitis.

We had an 11am booking but rocked up at 10ish and they got us in to see him pretty quickly.

Bokor moved my arm and shoulder round a little bit and did some comparison with my other shoulder and pretty much said everything is going really well. He said I was good enough to get back on snow at the moment but another two months wouldn't hurt.

On the way home we went to a place called Tempe Tyres... biggest wheel shop in all of Sydney... Lets just say the forester is getting some new shoes soon...

Lupe Fiasco

Last Night i was in Canberra to see Lupe Fiasco play at the University of Canberra. He was supported by local crew Koolism and some other people who I didnt get to see...

DJ Danielsan was there and he wasncrazzy. But the main focus was of course on LupeAs soon as he appeared on the top section of the room the whole crowd went crazzy.

I was towards the front of the crowd at the start but it got way too hectic so i moved over to the side where i could still see.

Lupe's set was amazing... he had a drummer and an electric guitarist with him which made the experience just that little bit more interesting. The drummer had by far the fastest double kicks i've ever seen, He was insane.

Here are a few photo's.

Then today I came home and tonight I went fishing with my friend Dunk and his boss Craig... it turned out to be a pretty good night and we caught ten fish... pretty stoked.

I know there are only seven in this photo but trust me we caught ten.

Skate

James is my friend from Maleny in QLD. He came down to do the season in Jindy and he found something about this lovely town attractive so he decided to stay for the summer...
I found out the other day James is a sick skater, we went for a skate yesterday and straight out of the block he busts a double kickie... i thought it was pretty sweet then he bust's a hardflip to fakie on the big bank at Jindy skate park. The rest of the day was followed with countless tricks i could only do on xbox and cool lines...

So today i asked him if i could take some photo's of him skating. Luckily he agreed...

This is what came from today...



This was pretty gnarly... there is about a two foot ollie up just to clear over that little wall...

Hard to tell because of my crappy composition but He is ollieing from the top of the box thing over the rail and into the bank...

This was by far the gnarliest thing all day! i think that's like a 6 foot bowl... He ollied down into the flat! not only that but stomped first try!

the consequences

Not really skate related but i thought it was cool lighting...

That's all folks.

Down Time

So i've had alot of time to just hang out, and be a kid and have some time at home.

Christmas was really good, first one i have had at home in about 5 years so that was nice.
New Years was a bit of a let down i didn't finish work untill 11:30 then had to work new years day at 10 which wasn't fun.

So pretty much my days have been filled with either working, hanging out down in Canberra or going out on the boat that we acquired. It's pretty sweet it's got 50hp on the back which is enough to wake skate behind.

Oh also lately i've been skating a bunch and taking photo's of my friend James who kill's it! switch hardflips and what not... yea pretty crazy...

sorry for the lack of photo's in this post... I promise i'll make it upto you in the next one!
