Yeah, I know I've been really lazy with this, and after a good yelling at from Seraphina I'm updating whats been happening. Not alot has really happend over the last week, actually a bit, haha. After another horrible shift at Bubble I went and rode Dandy skatepark with Dan.
And for the surprise of the year, Chris came to Dandy park, and rode his bike! After spending the day there, it was time to retire back to headquarters for a drink with Chris. The next day I went over to Mikey's to see if he wanted to come to Canberra with me, he said he was up for it, as long as he got to pick where we stayed, so I said it was ok with me, as long as he did it because I had other things that I had to do that day. Surprise, surprise, when it came to 9pm that night, I get a call from him and apparently there is no accomodation anywhere, so he's not comming. I still wanted to go anyway, so I did, haha. The next day I took off on my journey at 7pm, and chose to drive all night, at about 2am I was at Albury and had a 3 hour sleep. I woke up with THE sorest neck, but battled onto Canberra and was on the outskirts by sunrise.
By 9:30 I arrived at Weston Creek skatepark. There was a Maccas next door, so I dived on it as quick as I could, I wasnt hungry, but I needed the toilet sooo bad, I could bearly hang on. In about 5 seconds, I think I weighed about 5kg's lighter, what a relief! Haha. So yeah, I seshioned Weston Creek for the morning which was fun, the local kids were pretty welcoming so I rode with them for a while and just after lunch I was starting to get a bit bored of that park. I took off to Erindale banks, which in my opinion is one the the greatest parks ever designed, the only fault being the flat ledges are shit for grinding, but other than that its awsome. Wish I had pegs on, the rails there looked like so much fun, so many rail lines. Got some new tricks there though, I also pegless grinded one of the rails which I was happy with. So I rode that spot till I was exahsted, which was about the time it got dark, so I retired back to camp, which happend to be my car in the parking lot haha. I was amped as, 4 shirts, 2 jumpers, a sleepin bag, a long lost emergancy stash of longneck VB's and Canberra radio. Canberra radio is awsome because its the same as Melbourne radio, but just with a hint of that ch31 elliment in everything they do. Nothing beats the photocopying add I heard, "So come down to Fyshwick photocopying because as you know, all Canberrians are Fyshwicks!"
I woke up the next day and was frozen! I ficked the radio on and stuck my head back in the bag as quick as I could and tied up the top of my sleeping bag. It turned out that it was -1 at 7am! When I built up the strength to pull my head out into the cold, i rolled over and noticed that my sleeping bag was iced over.I was still up at 8am though. I went and rode the park again, untill it started raining 10 mins later. My heel was hurting so much from the day before, and with the rain and the riciulously cold weather I decided it was best to take off home. I'm glad I did, becuase by the time I got to Yass it was snowing!
The next day I went around to Mikeys coz he messed up his cranks because he doesnt know what he doing. I ended up with pretty good deal, I gave him some shit cranks I don't want and gave him my shadow bars for Rhys' old F-it flow bars and an old Salt stem. My bike feels better already, just need a front wheel and some forks, but I'm starting to think maybe I should stay pegless. After going to Mikey's I haven't really done much else, I had work last night which wasn't very nice. None of the bar staff showed up, so the boss decided to take 3 of the bussy staff and put them on bar, so I was left by myself to run all of downstairs, and the worst part was that all the bar staff was telling me that I wasn't helping them enough! I was thinking, "so, when are you guys going to come out and help me on the floor when I need it?"
Anyway, as it turns out I survived the night, which leads me to today, I came home and was glad to see that Seraphina was online, but I felt way to gross, so I had to have a shower. When I got out, I had to sit down for a min because I felt so tired. I closed my eyes and when I opened them it was 10pm, 7 hours later. So I jumped online, which brings me up to date, now I'm talking to Seraphina and Ranchana.
Untill next time...
