Storms have everyone looking decent. I can't wait to gtfo. a lil over two weeks.

I'm really hoping I can bring my touring gear down. Don't really have any loot to spare for overweight charge. I think I might get 2 bags though so maybe I'll just bring a light bag I can through some gear in, and then repack at the airport when I get there. I just hate having more than a backpack and boardbag.

I'm going to be mainly up at Buller this year, but I did set up a pvc pipe at baw baw on sunday with a homie for a mini pre season shred. I'll also try to head up to Jindy for a week at least to visit the homies.

As always I'd love to ride with some people, most of my mates are boarders or not very good, I'm always looking for more crew. Wish I wasn't so poor hey

I'd be 99% sure skiing Thredbo since I used to work there and get hooked up sadly. I'll miss rish's park but I ain't paying an extra 100 bucks a day to ride it.

I think Tim and Kris will both be back I think. I was hoping to make it over late season for maybe a week of shreddin but my dates got pushed out a bit and won't really have time. Would be cool to spend a week or to in Kune and get some laps in at the mtn/drinks in town.

Anybody coming up to thredbo or perisher have a skateboard to sell on the cheap ish. Or living around here and can lend me one. I kinda assumed the park at thredbo would be under snow. But that's not correct.

I haven't skated in years but looking to casually get back into it.
