PKRA Season

Monday, November 24th, 2008

For a lot of you winter is starting to set in, I know that back home it’s starting to get cold and it’s getting hard to motivate yourself to ride.
Here are all the TV shows from the PKRA this season, each event is about 30 mins long so there is loads of footage to get you up and out riding.
Now you can see more in-depth to how the season went for me.

Rest of New Cal

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

After the event in New Cal I stayed for an extra week or so, the conditions continued to provide although it wasn’t the usual pattern according to the locals.
I really enjoyed my time in the country and had fun hanging out with the guys out there, thanks to everyone who helped me out.

New Cal Best Trick

Friday, November 7th, 2008

Yesterday was the best trick contest, the criteria was 50% height and 50% technical difficulty.
I managed to get to the final, I was in it with Tom, Max (another local) and Mark Jacobs, I’m not sure which trick won it for me but it was good fun, i did a big Front mobe - blind, the sent front spin pass and even through a double front board off, I can’t even remember the last time I took the board off my feet but I though I would give it a go as everyone else was.
Here are few more pictures from the event.

1st New Cal

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Yesterday was the double elimination of the freestyle competition here in New Caledonia.
The wind was light but I was OK on my 13m, I came up against Seb Garet in the final but only had to go once as I had a pretty good heat, because of the flat water all my tricks were full speed and I managed to hold some little grabs in there too, I got a lot of switch, a Front Mobe - Blind and a Double S pass.
Tom also came up to 3rd which was good, so I’m happy we are both up there on the podium.


New Cal

Sunday, November 2nd, 2008

This place is amazing, the last few days have been great kiting, the spot for the competition is perfect flat water with smooth wind which allows you to go full belt into tricks.

Yesterday they ran the singles and I had a great day, it’s so nice to have good conditions for a competition, your level is so much higher, I had some sick tricks through out my heats never needing to hold back.

I won the singles and had a good day of riding and hanging out with the locals, I’m sure we will get a lot more wind so I can’t wait for the doubles, best trick and KiteLoop comp :)
