I wish I could have blogged a bit more from the land down under, but unfortunately there is a lack of internet flowing though the country side of Australia. Anyhow, this has been an awesome trip, and an experience of a lifetime.
Yesterday, Harley Clifford, and his brothers Ty and Ethan, and myself went to a contest at a cable park in the sunshine coast, which is an hour north of Brisbane. The park is awesome, there are 17 different rails and kickers and it seems like every lap, you can choose a new line. Every rail is so sick, it seems to be the closest to a skatepark that you can get for a wakeboard. Anyway, I entered the contest expecting no good results, cause lets face it, cable contest turn into kicker contest, and I just dont hit kickers often. To my surprise, I made it through the first round and into the finals. In the finals, there were a few local boys, Mitch Langfield, Harley Clifford, and myself. It was a really fun format. There were 10 carriers on the cable and each person had a carrier and did 6 laps. If you fall, you had to get to shore and run back to the dock. It was really fun for me because I had never done an event like that. However, I must say it was a bit embarrassing because all those cable guys were doing 7’s and 9’s off every kicker, and I was doing 3’s and 5’s. So needless to say, I didnt podium, but I had a bunch of fun and you could possibly see me entering more cable contest in the future.
