Richards beaches & bikes jam was held this easter weekend,Richard being an old fungus mosgiel member it was only right that me & boocky headed up to christchurch easter friday for a weekend of drinking & riding, Drinking took over but more on that later, After getting to richards house we had a couple of beers to kick start the weekend off, We soon hit rolly park for a few skids & wheelies before heading to temps for a bit of mini bowl action carving & jumping with the odd wheelie & skid thrown in for good measure, As this was a weekend away it’s only right to eat plastic food so burger king was the snack of choice next & some shit talking followed, Christchurch is a prick of a place to get around but lucky for us richard had a handle on things & the hiace, We were soon off to wycola for some mini ramp action & some crazy donut bowl antics, Some random kid hucked out of the mini to the donut bowl, Pretty fucking cool to watch, Kids these days have bolts the size of ummm nuts!! Next it was off to jelly park where the local guys have lines everywhere, Some sick shit gets thrown down here but i just did wheelies & skids and the odd air & couple of 3s for the hell of it, It was kinda getting dark by now so we went to the best park me & boocky have ever seen,Washy! This park is just fucking insane with just about everthing you could ask for, Richard had lines everywhere & transfered hips & whatever he pleased with speed & i just watched lol, This park is under lights so you could session for hours if you pleased! Me & boocky were kinda fucked from the drive up so we called it a night for riding & went back to richards to get krunk, Shit got out of control & a fuck load of piss was drank till 6am and with the jam starting & 11am things weren’t going to be good!! With a couple of hours sleep and us 3 guys feeling pretty jaded the day didn’t start to well, We tried to get our shit together but it wasn’t going to plan! We finally got some food down & it was off to pick up kwol who is a fucking hard man, He lay in the back of the van & sucked down some double brown to kick start his day off, Mint.
First stop for saturday ( Jam Day ) was pines beach, Because of our drunkin behavior the night before we were 2 1/2 hrs late…. not good for your own jam!! Sorry guys..pmsl. Pines beach has all sorts of street ledges/boxes etc but the fungus guys pretty much lay on the grass & felt sorry for themselves, The chch locals were in full force & ripped it up! It was decided to head to waikuku beach next for some rad a fuck mini ramp action, The mini was awesome & again the chch locals showed they had that shit dialed with some awesome riding getting thrown down, I personally need to ride more of this type of mini ramp as i sucked dogs bollocks at it, barspins,huge euro airs,tabos,grinds you name it got thrown down & it’s pretty much the best mini action i’ve ever been part off! These chch guys rip! Was good to meet richards crew & see what kind of riding he gets to witness and be part of near every week, Lucky bastard! Saturday night was a pretty quiet one for the fungus lads which consisted of hells pizza & a couple of very quiet beers!
Sunday rolled around & with clearer heads we loaded the mighty hiace and headed out to Waltham bowl, This is a cool bowl with a small & tight wee bowl flowing into a larger bowl that you can air out of etc,We sessioned that for an hour or more before heading to bromley halfpipe, I rode bromley many years ago so this place has great memories for me, It hasn’t changed much over the years & was still fun to air & grind etc, Next stop was thompson park with its massive bowl & super slippery surface, We mainly went there to have a nosey & see what the talk was about, It’s more suited to skateboards than BMX i reckon, Still an awesome place to check out though, From there we hit st albans mini spine ramp, This was pretty much the best session of the whole weekend as it kinda reminded me of fairfield ( Dunedin ) back in the day, transferring back an forth over the spine, A few tricks were pulled & we all left there with massive smiles on out faces! Then it was off to buy more junk tea ( fish & chips this time ) & back to richards pad for a couple of quiet beers & to reflect on an awesome easter weekend!
