Oh Dear.

I'll tell you about the good stuff first.

Mr. Ridge was there, and not only did I get to witness his riding, I also go to witness his rage. Superb. He was trying the same trick for most of the night, a fakie air on a 7ft, rollback to pegs on the spine, to fakie, to whip hop on the bank. Got it in the end, skills.

Phil Aller was also there, and he's pretty useful. Some nice 3's over the volcano, of the x-up, invert, turndown, and truckdriver variety. I also saw him do tailwhip to manual round the corner of the bowl, straight into a tailwhip to icepick to tyretap, and back in. Not at all bad.

Tom's mate Olby was also rather good, came very close to truckdriver bunnyhops, but otherwise had good stuff all over the place. Managed wallr die to barspin, lots of spine combo stuff, and a truckdriver to fakie on the bank. Tom just smashed the shit out of everything, had nice over to smiths on the volcano, and 270 to opposite smith in the bowl.

Josh rode really well, especially at the end, getting X-up pedal stalls on the sub, 360s over the volcano, big wallrides out of the little quarter in the corner, and wallride to x-down out of the bank, and nice tuck no-handers over the volcano as well. Will alsoo in my eyes had the line of the day; transfer out of the 7ft, into a curved wall way up high, then out if it into the bank, skills.

As for myself, on my second visit to the bowl I pulled away from the verywall quarter, went straight to flat, and smashed a fair bit off my two front teeth. Excellent start. After that I rode sporadically, Managed to 180 the volcano, didn't really do anything exciting. Then at the end of the session I decided to twist the volcano, looped out like a pro and my left knee and elbow took a fair whack. The knee is now quite large and hard to walk on, I'm worried it's more than just bruising.

That's the last time I write about my social calender on this website, because I'll look like an inbred hick for all of it now!
