Tuesaday Manly, weds April 29th fresh tracks in Australia at Mt Baw Baw

Yep We made it up there, at least 30-40cm of fresh snow up at Mt BawBaw which is around 2 and a half hours from melbourne.

I was bitterly cold until we started hiking, luckily I knew some crew (thanks Tim) that had a skidoo and they helped us out a little. They have so much snow up there it wouldnt surprise me if they also opened this weekend too.

Bike Mission

So it seems everyone is doing it so why wouldn't I go on a 30 km ( on a mountain bike when everyone else has lycra and road bikes) for my first true ride of the year.
First thing sunday morning I attempted to keep up with some friends Metro mike (also known as mycra) and Adam Bomber who rides every freaking day on a ride from chelsea to Mt Eliza and Back with a big hill at the half way mark.

Number one NOT :)


Well I might not have been the fastest and had no lycra or bike helmet (yep thats a snowboard helmet) but I made it no dramas with some sore legs and a little sun burn to boot.
Same time next week Im back, anyone keen 9 am sunday morning Mycras place.

Grey Matters Art Show LAst Thursday Night

So good friend Mark Lording organised another show titled "Grey Matters", it was also his birthday so I know he was pumped when you could not phsyically fit another person inside the gallery. The best thing about this show other than the awesome artists was how it was set up where every artist had their own room. Thanks To Ian Lording for all the photos.


Go Birthday Boy, representing our home suburb 3196 Chelsea postcode.

Boot Ice Hockey

I know it sounds stupid, but in all seriousness it was so so freaking fun.

So after the meeting on thursday night in vermont Burton Hired a bus and rented out a ice rink for us to battle boot ice hockey. They were 6 teams and my team made it all the way to the grand final where we got smashed :)

It did get violent for sure and it was slippery as hell, skate shoes dont have the traction of skates i guess. I got taken out but as i backflipped my stick cut open the head of Christian who took me out it was pretty gnarly for sure.
Anyway thanks to everyone at Burton for this it was awesome ESPECIALLY Steph We all owe you !!!


Our Team


John Lacey and I head to head


Craig smith in the white top was on point


More action thanks again everyone

Australia Here I Come

Meetings in vermont went really well, and yesterday we got to skate the Burton bowl, Photos coming soon


Right now I'm ate JFK New York waiting for the flight home.

So normally airport food sucks huh, well not here I just ate some really good mexi spot and worked out I could take a photo with my phone and email it to myself to post on here, the blackberry never works in Vermont though for some reason
So here's part of my meal anyone traveling through jfk stop by this place its good in the international terminal 7.

I ate the Tacos too quick to shoot a snap, fresh mexi food is heavenly !!!!
"asombrosamente bueno"

Vermont, USA !!!!!

So after one of the longest trips ever !!! we finally got to vermont, unfortunately for us the car rental place was closed by the time our plane landed. So after a taxi to motel and then a taxi back to rental place we actually got to Bolton Resort on sunday around 1130. There was still a little fresh around but it was pretty slow and icy in spots.


Oh well riding is riding and I had a ball. Here I am with one of my friends


I got to ride with Darren from our office in sydney and Craig from Burton Japan who set a mean pace all day. Here we are on top of the hill

It was Boltons last day open for the season and they had their annual pond skimming contest. Normally it would be a nice spring day, but it was snowing off and on and it looked so so cold. A bunch of Burton crew dressed up as the crew from Gilligans Island and where drinking a drink in a orange juice container. It was definatly not OJ thats for sure as Sharon from Burton Outerwear didnt even make the pond and had to be carried off. Watching people freeze thier asses off was awesome.


Heres Steph from Burton having a go


Look at this girls face it would have been freezing, they had to carry people out it was that cold.

Sunday night we ate Brazilian and they had alligator and no it didnt taste like chicken.
Today was a big day of meetings tommorow the same.

Till something exciting happens aloha from vermont
and tara i miss you !!!

Stuck In nyc jfk to be exact !

So currently I sc are stuck in jfk new york on way to burlington vermont for a Burton meeting.
Photos would not be good as We are pissed. Currently the plane is three hours late and we ar supposed to go riding tomorrow. Sucks to be right now

On a positive note Tara did something called "run for the kids" which is like a mini marathon 14 kms She rips if only i could run half as well as her :)
