That’s the average day in my life. But what I’m goin to walk you through is my Saturday. So I clear a tone of space from my camera and got my day prepped.
This is the from Saturday the 28th of April 2012 in Christchurch ( you all know that by now) and its my day out on the BMX at the locals spots and around the city.



9:30am - So the alarm has already gone off by now, slight hungover from the night before. Rhys is at work so its solo mission today. Time to get up and get the bag and bike ready. Coffee and annoy the cat. Brush teeth and a quick wash, take a shit and I’m out the door for some brekky.

9.56am - Coffee Worx for a sausage and egg bap thingy. Opt for water over more coffee as the one at home was too strong and I mite need another shit. Catch the 28 bus to the city bus terminal and ride over to Washington Skatepark.
Get warmed up try a few tricks. Tried a hop up 180 to fakie to hop fakie out…..tried it 4 times and it wasn’t happening.

‘’Swing down to the Chariot stop and Let Me Ride’’ Bus stop after breakfast bap

11.11am - Ride back over to bus terminal to visit a street spot around the corner but too busy so I moved on over to the CPIT building (college building) to ride the sculpture and ledges. Bit bored as no one to sesh with.

12.15pm - Rode back home from town via a sweet spot. Text Karel ( top bloke with a camera) to let him know about this wall ride thing ive found. No reply. Get hungry so time for Subway. Bike goes in van and I grab a polo shirt. Smash down a Sub and then off to driving range to hit a few golf balls into the paintball area. I heard screams but hopefully didn’t catch anyone in the head.

1.52pm - Heathcote Trails are right next to the golf course so went for a quick inspection. Trails were in bad shape and I had no shovel to fix them. Rode the dirt quarter but wasn’t feeling it

Lip slide / Disaster before all the groms showed up

2.20pm - Head to Bromley Park half pipe, no kids on fuckin scooters, the whole set up just for me. No tricks down on the pipe yet, just getting out the top is enough. Big moari kids show up and then more turn up and ask if I can do backflips. I said no. They didn’t look amused. I left sharpish.

.3.00pm - Home. Laptop out and video search on trusty Youtube for funny shit. I checked out Vitalbmx.com all the time and Rideukbmx.mpora.com. And all the other website. Redtube on a quiet evening maybe. Tea and cig out on the deck and play with the puppies. Nap with the ipod in.
On the deck

Straight air. Checkerd shirt an all

4.46pm - Shower and text around too see if anyones going for pint later at the local. Text Rhys-O and he’s guna be back around 6ish. Texts back and people are guna be down there at 8ish. Text from the DJ and their playing a late set. All is good. Make some food and watch a film. Do emails and prep for new job starting next week.

9.47pm - Get to the pub, smash a load of booze and just womanize.

1.43am - Pissed on my leg while trying to get in a secluded spot to pee. Bacon sarnie gets made and im out like a light.

End.
