26 trix FINAL
So 26 trix final went down yesterday , the morning was windy as hell so no one rode , after lunch the wind died off a bit so we all went up and got some practice ,I wanted to get a few xtra tricks in the bag before my run and I 360'ed the hip before the 11metre double that you had to hit PINNED and came in a little slower than usual .... and I thought I would still sneak over ...WRONG haha , I came up short and ATE it so bad. the jumps were so hard and made of Gravel and I got carved up! there would have been bugger all left of me if it wernt for my mint 661 elbow and Knee pads ( cheers Worrals!) After having a breather for 10 minutes and getting my cuts bandaged up and duct taping my jeans back together it was back into it to get ready for the final.
There were 15 guys in the final and every one was shredding! My 1st run was MINT , I laid down everything I wanted to nice and clean /smooth So I was stoked to have a good run in the bag. After everyone had done their 1st run I was sitting in 5th , which I was hella stoked on , every one Really started going nuts in Run 2 , I had a few things up my sleeve for run 2 to up my score , I ended up drifting too far right on a flip table and ran into the rough stuff and lost my speed for the next set , Dam it !
I ended up 11th on my saftey run which I was pretty happy with . I was the only rider from pre Qual to make the finals so I was stoked on that.
Cam Macaul took the win with a pretty dialed run , and Brandon 2nd ,Martin Sodrstrom 3rd Congrats Brahs!
It was a sick weekend all up , it was my fave comp so far because it had decent size jumps for a change ( as opposed to some of the uphill/ soggy dirt/ bullshit setups I have ridden on this trip!) I think 26 trix is real MTB contest , Decent size jumps /down hill/at speed. the course is better to ride on a MTB cause its pretty rough and fast as hell . Its cool to see courses that are better to ride on a MTB than a BMX on some of these smaller courses its like you are sledge hammer to drive a tack! . Big bikes, big wheels , big jumps.hit it PINNED Thats where its at I rekon! haha

MTB World Cup Leogang
I had a great weekend watching the world cup DH and 4X in Leogang Austria.
There were 22 riders from New Zealand and i was feeling very patriotic watching the racing!
I was stoked on Sam Blinky Qualifying 1st on saturday on a loose and slippery course. what a shredder.
The 4x was really cool to watch , every one was giving it their all , after all the elbow bashing, Tbones and wild crashes it was Jared Graves who ended up on top.
Shot bros! NZ has some talented Riders!

More rain over night made Sundays DH race a rutted muddy mess. Not too bad for the Kiwis as most of em know how to ride in the wet!
Scolesy flying over the finish line
The Hot seat was occupied by Kiwis quite a few times! Gorge Brannigan was 1st in the with a 4:20, My team mate and personal hero Matt Scoles Knocked him out with a 4:16 next in the seat was Cam Cole with a 4:11 I think. Scoles ended up 14, Justin Leov finshed 8th and Cam in 5th and Blinky in 4th.Shot bros! NZ has some talented Riders!

Austria
Yo bro's
just here in Leogang at the moment, I have 26trix DJ comp next weekend so I thought might as well come watch the KIWIS at the world cup this weekend and also ride some of the bike parks in this part of Austria.
Yesterday we went to Wagrain park for a look, pretty cool park designed by the whistler team. we shredded the trails there which were in hella good nick and niiice and tacky.
It was great to be shreddin on my Corsair Crown as I havent had much of a chance to ride big bikes with all the dirt jump comps. The bike handles so well and I am stoked on the Marzocchi 888 Rc3 evo TI, it works super well in the rough and I set it up to ramp up nicely for the big hucks! Sha rode my Corsair Konig and was loving it.
I'm really looking forward to watching the WC this wkd, we will be cheering for the Wide open boys Brook and Matt!. hope to see some Kiwis on the podium!

Today we hit up Saalbach hinterglemm which is 20mins from leogang, cool park . we are a little early and a few of the lift aren't open yet, but still had a shralp on a few trails and busted out the vid cam for a few clips.
We are gonna hang out here for the next week and ride parks/film /practice on 26trix course (which is feckin massive BTW ! and rock hard made of cheese grater gravel and also some cement!)
I'm really looking forward to watching the WC this wkd, we will be cheering for the Wide open boys Brook and Matt!. hope to see some Kiwis on the podium!Wednesday, June 16, 2010
Adidas eyewear factory visit
I was heading to Linz, Austria to ride the Dirtjumps
so I emailed the dudes at Adidas eyewear to see if I could come check out the factory since it is in Linz. David was all for it and Sha and I jumped in on a factory tour with some of the Adidas eyewear ski team. All the Ski crew were cool as and helped translate the german to me since I was the only one who didn't understand..
The Factory was pretty interesting, I was blown away with the precision machines and robotic arms etc. a lot of thought, technology and quality control goes into making the eyewear which is why it is such and amazing product.

I picked up a couple of new sets of ID2 googles and a pimpin set of Suria glasses while I was there. lookin TRICK!
Cheers to David, Patz and all the crew at ADIDAS eyewear!
