Kona Launch Barcelona July 13, 2008
Posted by chopper in : Kona Stuff , add a commentI thought barcelona would be hot and no rain. I was wrong with that. rain in the evenings and cold winds during the day.
built some jumps for tonights demos for the kona crew with a barbeque too.
theres a bowling alley under the hotel so thats perfect
andreu bowling
Rain Rain Rain July 7, 2008
Posted by chopper in : Kona Stuff , add a commentWell the weather has been a disaster the last week with rain, rain, and more rain, so haven’t been able to go out and not get covered in mud which isn’t my style! haha
Just been riding the local skate park around as the jumps are flooded and not ridable, its such a pain!
The kona launch is this weekend so that will certainly put a huge grin on my face.
Barcelona is the location so can’t complain at all about the weather there.
checked out some jumps the other day (secret location!) so going secret ninja training there when i’m home.
Redbull Bikenight Italy July 1, 2008
Posted by chopper in : Kona Stuff , add a commentThis event was one of the most favourite times i have been on my bike, mixing with top bmxers and just riding in the sunset in the heat and good times off the bike afterwards.
The contest was a team effort where i was with the UK’s finest Bmx rider Ben Hennon, we both rode well and came 5th overall. i’m happy with this result as skatepark isn’t my favourite but like i said i had such fun
Heres a link to the event http://www.redbull.it/bikenight

this was the view most the time from the shade as it was way too hot to ride during the day

Big thanks to Frank Weckert for inviting me to the event.
