An Architectural Project.

Here's a couple of images that I made up super quick in photoshop. prob didnt come out as sweet as I wanted but ya get the idea..... haha.

The basic Idea behind these images is a 'screen wall' in cathedral square that meshes together the surrounding building facades when someone looks through the vertical openings. A fun little project that has developed from an original concept located down High St.

Another Weekend at Hutt.....

This weekend was slush fest at Mt Hutt with the park being battered by the wind earlier on the week. No Big Jump...... so it was back to the simple things in life. Moguls, windlips, snowmaker cones, mini park jibs and jumps, rope ollies and straight lines. Sunday was supposed to be a sweet half day shredding but ended up blowing up the radiator in the truck. Still ended up shredding for a few hrs with Dad and AA coming to the rescue.



Here's an aerial photo of Mt Hutt current. Check out the pipe and the nice last booter that the park crew has delivered us this season.
Methven Big air is gonna go off this sat. I think I'm gonna strap in and give it a go. And then Jnr Nationals the following week. Im gonna be cranking a serious amound of redbull for that sort of shit! haha

My good mate Riley Bathurst also put together this sweet wakeboard vid. Its on facebook and I have no idea if this link will work but give it a crack!

Mt Hutt PIPE..... Yep that's right!

The pipe at Hutt has been open for a while now and the shape has been getting better by the week. Dave Nurse and the park crew have been putting in the hard yards this year with the perfect day consisting of sum shralping in the pipe in the AM and jump session in the arvo.

Here's some shots that Riley Bathurst has reeled off in the last few weeks.... Combo's were on with some crucial timing required.

Park Manager Dave Nurse gets amongst it for a spring session in the AM.

Ash and I go for the 'over-under' combo. Turns out I just got snow in my face.....

Ash getting his plants dialed. This is one of the 1st tricks that he learnt in the pipe.

Mikey charging with the pink cast totally unphased.....

Riding push bikes can be dangerous.

Some R & R for the pipe at the end of the day.

Today was the final for the slopestyle series held at porters. Super fun day with more than perfect weather and a pretty inovative course. They basically had a nice 30ft step down jump and jammed an up box dead centre in the wedge so there was a dece gap off to the knuckle. Good stuff from the park crew who were apparently up till 4am getting everything ready. ill post sum links of sum photos and a vid hopefully in a few days. Shredding Hutt 2moro and hopefully the jumps will be on! Time to crank into some spring jumping.

Peace
