Action Packed Sunday

So our friend Joel needed a lift back to Buller after the bucks yesterday. I thought why not (do good get good) and got up nice and early and drive him back up the hill (3.5 hours). It was a cool drive and I figured there would be some snow so why not go for a little hike.


Here is Joel with his broken femur, next summer Joel's hiking the patch with me :)



I know I shouldnt post a shot of my self but I was so stoked to get some little hiking on I had to post this shot (thanks joel for the photo)



After dropping Joel off, it was straight to the Wilson house hold for one ripping skate in the sun. That three and half hour drive never took so long ever. AL recently purchased our friend Brendan's ramp and added an extension and sorted the coping out perfectly. So stoked to skate this perfect back yard ramp, thanks again.


The kids where also ripping and here is Unkle Ralph and Z man starting them young.



Al ripping up the back yard paradise. Front rock extension



We then visited our nephews which where amazingly cute, all in all one epic Sunday thanks to everyone involved.

Horse Racing ?

So our friend's Bridget and Marcus are getting married soon and this weekend was their Buck/Hens weekend. For the bucks they started the day with horse racing out in Yarra Glen which for those not from Oz is on the way to our local hill Mt Buller a little over an hour away from where we live. I drove so I would'nt hit to party trail and end up in the city partying all night with everyone (which would be fun don't get my wrong).
Anyway I got into the swing and things and started to actually enjoy it and was betting with the best of them. I was pretty much even when our friend Joel from Buller said lets pool our cash and bet on for the win just so I could say to the way indimadating booky "$40 on the nose" on a horse we liked the name of "Bowlabouncer".


Since Id just won i betted on a couple more random ones also.



SO we forgot to watch the race and continued on chilling when Marcus comes up stoked telling us the horse he just backed won he thought , what horse we said and he goes "The bouncer one"
"No way" we said, 2nd and 3rd where also my horses so we cleaned up.



I stopped after that $140 in front stoked, it could get additive so thats my one gambling day for this year I think.
Thanks for the invite Marcus good luck tonight, think Im glad I got out of there :)

Thought This Was quite Funny

Next to our booth at the Canberra Trade Show this week, was this booth.
They also had a tshirt that they said was popular with snowboarders that said
"Poles are for dancers", Im really getting on as Im not sure youll see me rocking a Tshirt that said that.

Danny Blank your the best

How good is it when you visit a friend who luckily is an amazing tattooist who wants to stay back after work and tattoo you even though he's tattooed all day
