Hey DJ Bring that Back

Monday, February 2nd, 2009

Hello from Australia.  Sorry I havent been posting much on here lately, but I can say that this post will make up for lost time.  Over the last few months I have been riding a lot in Orlando.  it has been a good off season mainly because  I am not in school and I am getting to ride a bunch and there is much less stress in my life, so life is good.  For example, I am in Australia right now with Trevor doing the Aussie pro tour and and traveling around with Justin Abbot and the guys at Surf Wind Fire, who are the distributors of CWB here is Australia.  

There has been some cool things that I have experienced since I have been here over the last few weeks, 1.  Kebabs are the best food ever and I may open a shop in Orlando, 2. The women are beautiful, 3. I got my first barrel surfing at straddie island, 4. Trevor can not to save his life make a good music mix for a long car ride, Oh and #5, Kangaroos infact do exist.  

So Trevor and I have spent quite a few hours in a car together over the last week.  Given that every radio station sucks, we decided to play a game, its called “Lets see who can put a blank CD into the computer and make the best mix for the road trip game.”  Its actually pretty entertaining.  Trevors first CD was a complete bust, his computers battery died after only burning 4 1/2 songs.  So Trevors track record started very crappy.  Then I made my frist CD, which I thought was gonna turn out to be a hit and to my dismay turned out to be a flop, I was a little bummed, but I got over it.  Then Trevor completely redeemed himself   with a new CD that we jammed out too for a few hours, it was good and justin Abbot and I were stoked.  Then I answered with an even better CD, so by now we are on a role and we think we have figured out what everybody in the car likes, WRONG, all of a sudden Trevor comes out with this god aweful CD that puts everyone to sleep and basically pisses everyone off, it is complete crap and I almost had to punch him.  Bless his heart, but that might of been the worst mix in the world, needless to say, I threw it away.  I have not made a third CD which has not been played yet but tomorrow we find out if my new CD is worthy.  until then here are a few photos of the trip so far

Hello From the other side of the world! Literally! Hopefully at least one person reading this blog has flown to Australia and can back me up when I tell everyone else that it takes for ever to get here!!! haha Besides the super long flight and the jet lag things have been awesome over here. We just finished the 2nd APWT stop at Stoney Park. It was a great event. Its a cool little man made lake with a bunch of rails. The tournament went pretty good except for a bit of wind towards the end of the day. Corey rode really well and had some unfortunate luck with his head to head and in the end didn’t advance to the final. I ended up getting 3rd which was great considering how bad the water was. Tomorrow we are driving a couple hours to New Castle and flying from there to Brisbane to do some clinics and photo shoots. Hopefully we will get to do some tow in surfing as well. Corey took some photos of the event that are on his computer so we will load those up for ya to have a look at as soon as we can. Corey and I were planning on making these blogs happen everyday but apparently we didn’t for see the complete lack of internet everywhere we would be going! So this week looks promising for a lot of internet so we will keep you posted.. Thanks
