Well we just got back from a crazy trip up to Taupo for the vans jedi jam 010. 6 of us south island boys went up to represent in alcohol drinking and shit talking more than anything else and I think we succeeded. So many funny storys, so much good riding it was insane. Nasty still absolutely rips, and seeing Colin MacKay ride in all his steez was legit.
Anyway, here is the serious side of one of two posts I'm going to make, here are the pics off my camera (majority are shit but I don't care) of the Pro dirt comp on the Saturday. The second post will be pics off Dannys camera documenting the whole trip of everything but riding haha.
Anyway the placings were, 1st Corey Nastazio, 2nd, Jed Mildon, 3rd, Colin MacKay, here they are in no particular order..

This had to be one of the highlights of the day, Nick Cooper, 360 bike flip attempt, his first one was soooo damn close to a land it wasn't funny, super primo trick, however it landed him with a broken ankle or damaged ankle at the end of the day in best trick.

Nick Cooper 360 superman seat grab over the second, he was doing these over the first one which is damn near twice as long as this one to..
And a wee video of Cory Nastazio's winning run, front flip to 360 backie
And this is one of two garley cunts that were chucking double backflip attempts, both super close but washed out of the landing.
That's but a taste of what went on, here's a link to a video that has popped up already to:
