Posted by chopper in : Kona Stuff , add a commentJust got to whistler after having a 2 day session at Camloops with Andreu, Kurt sorge and NWD.
i can’t say exactly what we did but the riding there was amazing and you can try anything and not get hurt that bad.
i face planted loads and all i got was dirt in my teeth.
so now i’m in whistler riding all the tracks with bearclaw whilst andreus filming downhill. i’m so ready to come home now. really looking forward it. be home on sunday hopefully..

Posted by chopper in : Kona Stuff , add a commentThe jumping the last few days was awesome with Paul B, Andreu, Cowan and myself killing it in the killer heat with bad ass bugs everywhere.
Each jump was roughly 20 feet or bigger running through trees in a scenic area. Started with a double leading to 2 choices of hips to the right into a step up to burm to step up step down satellite dish or a straight line consisting of 4 jumps going under the satellite dish.
The riding and filming went really well so now the plan is to go to camloops for one more shoot to get some drops and something different for my segment in the new smackdown movie.
going to a house party now with Big D, Andreu and Kurt Sorge to chill for the night now.

i’ve been in canada for the last….. well ages
just before i came here i was in weymouth down on the south coast in the crappy weather for animal demos then the next day i was on a plane to vancouver.
got to whistler eventually and rode every where. i didn’t have jet lag cause i was so excited on coming so stayed awake for as long as i could.
the crankworx event was sick to ride and i almost pulled a huge tailwhip on the last drop but the landing was too flat to ride out of it and my forks bottomed out and then slid out.
it seemed like everyone was crashing but ben boyko killed it. super happy for the guy!
then got on the ferry to vancouver island for the claws invitational event. it was definately one of the best courses i had seen for a long time. i rode all practice and felt so good until the following day where i had a bad case of sketchyness so i didn’t fancy riding. if your riding sketchy don’t ride a big course cause shit can happen.
i rode there the following day to get some filming done for smackdown.
now i’m chilling in nelson with the clump crew building jumps to for the film as well
now i’ve got internet can update more now!
