Journey to the other side of the World / World Rookie Fest / Flight to NZ.

Last week i traveled to the other side of the world! first destination Australia with the world rookie fest guys, was a long flight with a stop in Dubai, where we had a 12h wait so we went into Dubai, soo hot 48 at night! and got to see the worlds tallest building :) that was sick!!


Arrived in Sydney the next day and drove up to Thredbo, being back to cold and winter was strange especially after the heat of Dubai! We were in Australia for some filming, a comp and kangaroo hunting!!!! haha was a good laugh, unfortunately though i didnt land my runs in the comp.


On our drive back to Sydney we stopped in Canberra and at a skate shop where we were each given a cruiser skateboard and a beenie, so stocked on that, cheers Adrenalin Boardstore Canberra. We arrived in Sydney later that night, staying at Bondi beach. The next day we went into Sydney to see the opera house and stuff. We skated across the big harbour bridge,  was so funny because we were all on the cruisers zigzaging in and out of people.

Yesterday i got a flight to NZ, only just though as nearly late for my taxi! landed in Christchurch and then onto Queestown, now in Wanaka with Team GB. That is my travelling done for a few weeks, looking forward to some good snowboarding at Cardrona and Snowpark.

Saas Fee / My birthday / London Olympics / Theory test

The past few weeks i have been busy, Saas Fee, UK, Olympics, Driving Theory Test, Family visits..

I spent 2 weeks on the glacier in Saas Fee Switzerland with Team GB. Was a good 2 weeks, the jumps were good shape was trying some rodeos and underflips on the medium line also got a sb7 and tried fs10 of the big line so stocked on that :)   the pipe was ok for doing some bs5's, not really good enough to try some other tricks i wanted, which was a shame. Also went snowboarding for the first time on my birthday, which was sick!


After Saas Fee i headed to the UK with my mum and dad in Forrest our 1979 vw camper,  stayed in a few places on the way up through France. In the UK stayed at a mates in Ashford for a few days, he has a big garden, i learnt to drive a digger and dump truck and some drifting in a Mazda mx5 :)

We went into london for the day as i had tickets for the Olympic Volleyball, cheers Team GB and sir Clive Woodward who got me the tickets for being in the Youth Olympics. The Volleyball was a good game such good atmosphere. After the olympics we went up to Coventry and i passed my driving theory test and got to see loads of my family which i dont really get to see that often so was a good few weeks :)
