After some really hard work by lots of the local guys and some really dissapointing days along the way, THE GROVE is finally going to open, all legal, all the time.

Stoked!

Hippest dude in DownHill?

Bear Claw riding always awesome. Soundtrack win!

A little 4X action. All round Aussie hero Gravesy takes another win.

I’m posting this ‘cos I like dogs.

Basically I went on a holiday. Then in the last few days it’s been raining crazy rain. The trails are copping it but there is really no point in fixing the untill these storms pass.

Here is a bit of what’s been happening before the rain set in.

So Oli, Hooper and a few others sent the creek gap for the first time since it’s been done. That was pretty cool. It also claimed it’s first victim courtesy of some hidden glass – bummer.

After that, Al got married.

After that he went to Japan, things got a little bit fucked up there.

A little before that he had his bucks. He nearly made it through the whole thing. Nearly.

Our favorite Canadian left for home. Next time Steve, next time!

Hooper bought a BMX – I think he still has his big bike. I hope he wasn’t riding the 20inch at inter-schools anyway. It’s a Mutiny something something…..

Speaking of inter-schools. Colonel Sanders also went. He crashed. Apparently everybody crashed. I guess that’s down-ill for ya.

Just some really cool riding has been going on for no reason. Friday’s are almost running out for Summer! Don’t waste ‘em!

Ro-Batt!

He is Greg.

The big kid

Musgrove, Hooper and Fox demonstrate the new sport of syncronised trail riding.

And although I don’t have a photo – Duncan kept on digging.

A few other nick nacks . . . . .

Al found this pretty rad vidoe doco on the Soledad Sands BMX scene.

Mutiny dropped this confirming they are still pumping out the best edits of late:

The surf has been pretty epic around OZ lately (See WA cyclone swell below) – with the exception of Sydney wich is a pretty nasty place in general.

Fox uses power tools in his man cave after 8 Caronas to get firewood or the front yard party fire. Great Human!

Mac is still killing it. I did a whip. Rhi got cold at the light house. The end.

Stay cool – wishin’ it was Friday already today.

I have a buddy who plans on making the Island his home soon. Might have to pay him a visit.

Coolest wips in the game.
