we started the week with a trip to caseys for some biking, those
of you who have seen kiwistyle, or as yet the making of, will know what that
consists of, mainly doing some pretty big jumps on bikes but as you will have
seen i cant rie a bike for crap, that is untill we went home and gareth brought
his bikes!
We started by building some small jumps just behind my house at about 10 pm
till about 12 pm so it was dark as fuk and all we had to see by was the security
lights on the garage, when we finally went in to sleep we stayd up till about
2 am talking about really random shit then finally drifted off to the land of
nod.
The following morning we awoke at 8 am and made a uge breakfast and headed straight down to the paddock to construct ouur jumps.
Gareth took his new bike into town for some servicing and me mara and collins were left behind with a jump and a small bmx i started practising my skills and soon i was jumpin like a pro... or so i thought on our 1 foot high jump... then collins gave it a go and acheived pretty much the same result, mara was reluctant to try and when we finaly convinced her she bailed and didnt try again, by the time gareth returned without his bike it was around 2 pm and he instructed me on some biking techniques.
I felt mmy skills were sufficient after some time to attemt the 2 jump run starting at the top of a high hill so i built up majour speed, made the first jump, got even faster hit the second flew into the air and rolled my ass down the feild taking rather large chunk out of my knee, not to worry however, i wraped a sock around it and fastend it with some electrical tape and i was back on my bike to try again.... i landed it eventually.
The next morning collins was brought home by gareth as he was to tired to stick around and gareth returned with his bike, we soon got boared of our lil jump and decided an upgrade was in order.... i drove to the house and fetched my father and his trusty diggger... HAH! now that made digging jumps easier and in about 20 mins we had constructed 2 rather large jumps... definitely big enogh for me to fall off and take another chunk out of my ankle! ouch the pain! but like any good aka member i hoped up and tried again untill i feel i got pretty good at it! tho i did bail many times and never really mastered any tricks im sure elder will attatch the picture i send him to go along with this which shows me in mid air on my bike!
