POSTED BY BALLS - 02.02.10

i have been skating for 15 years...  that's over half my life.  for as long as i can remember the girl skateboards team has been the most consistent, progressive team, and on February 19th they are going to be skating at Hayman Park in Manukau.  do whatever you can to get to this demo - it is one not to be missed.

KEVIN PIERCE CRITICAL

POSTED BY BALLS - 02.01.10

i just read a report saying that Kevin Pierce is in critical condition after crashing out while training for the 2010 Winter Olympics.  apparently he was attempting a double cork and over-rotated, hitting his head on the top of the half-pipe.  this is pretty sucks and I am sure kevin and his family would appreciate our prayers and thoughts...  if you are keen, drop him a message over at the FRENDS site.  it always sucks seeing someone go down.  let's hope he gets back up soon.

WILDERNESS HELI

POSTED BY DAN MCCLEAN - 23.08.09

Me and 3 of the boys were lucky enough to go for a heli with the Wilderness Heliski group based at Mt Cook. The day was amazing, the chopper was off the chain, the scenery was by far the best ive been in and the guides made it a great day. The weather man didnt give us the champagne powder day we were dreaming about but im definitely hooked and will be back again next year. We had some epic runs and even got a chance to build a sweet kicker off a nice rock face.

If you are interested in going heli this is the best company to go with and I would highly recommend them. Click the link to go through to the Wilderness site to get more details of what they offer.

Thanks to Trevor, Mel and Brian for putting the day on. Stoked!!!

ROBBED

POSTED BY BALLS - 20.01.08

so i get a phone call from my mum while i am playing golf...  my brother is in ecuador with 2 portugese dudes.  they stop in a small town and head out for a surf.  on their way in, some dudes run up to them with guns and tell them to get down on the ground.  my bro looks up, thinking it might be the police and he gets the butt of a gun to the head.  the robbers end up taking everything except for his shoes, shorts, surfboard and luckily they missed his wallet.  no t-shirt, no passport.  the boys cruise to the police who they pay a bribe to for help.  the police tell them they are lucky, most people are kidnapped or killed.  it's all good though, the boys are back surfing now and all my bro has to show for it is a couple of egg-shaped bumps on his head...
