NASS 2011 KOD

Hi All,

Just had an epic weekend at NASS, Sun was shining well most of the time, Live music, riding pretty sweet jumps and plenty of partying with friends haha.
Arrived there Friday evening waited ages to get my pass, finally got to camping met everyone set up my very colorful tent and then checked out what music was on. To be honest i am sick of drum and bass now way to much of the death noise must be my age :D Was a good night having fun dancing around like a loon.
Saturday I woke up to beautiful sunshine had a good breakfast which was free thank you King of Dirt Team much appreciated. Went up to check out the jumps which looked sick so much better than previous years. there were a few bmxers riding and some MTB's Daryl Brown aka Sharky B. so I got padded up and tried them out. super hard to get speed for the first but the rest were damn good. Loved the hips and even though the last jump was going up hill they were not to bad. Eventually got used to the first one and started to enjoy myself. Was then told to stop riding so the BMX boys could have some training time and told to come back at 6 for the MTB demo. So spent the rest of the day walking around getting pretty bored then it rained a bit and 6 came so we headed back and rode the demo, just cruised nothing big had a good chill ride with everyone. We watched a bit of the BMX Park quali's which was sick Harry Main is ridiculous. That night we partied again, It was a music festival as well so went into the Drum and Bass tent for about 20 min was so hot in there so we spent the rest of the night in the Relentless Riders area. saw some crazy smashed BMXers get fully naked on the dance floor, Girls were Horrified haha.
Sunday morning I slept till about 10:45 which is crazy as I probably lost half my body weight sweeting and missed breakfast not ideal. Packed up the tent and went to find people as I was not sure when our comp was. Phoned up Adam Williams and they were all riding. I really was not in a good state to ride so I went up and watched for a bit. Found out the comp was at 4 so I had time to get ready. Eventually got padded up and then it was BMX Dirt Finals so watched that, Pretty sick riding, triple whips, Big 3's was sick. Then i had time to practice got a few runs down and was not really happy with them as the other riders were going nuts. But it was all good. Finally we started the comp, 5 runs 3 counted pretty nuts but glad we had 5. My first run went well stomped it clean with a Flip on the first 1 foot Xup the 2nd Downside Tail Whip the 3rd and 360 Whip to finish. 2nd run never went to plan messed up the roller before the 1st so had to settle for a tail whip then messed up the second so chilled the rest of the run. 3rd went well Flip 1 foot X to Tuck no hander to Downside Tail Whip finished with a 360 Tail Whip, 4th and now decided I needed to step it up I Superman Flipped the 1st, Tail whipped the 2nd, Flipped the 3rd then tried to get speed over the double roller before the last and sat on m wheel so lost all my speed for the last. I was feeling the pressure on my 5th run did exactly the same as the 4th run but managed to carry a bit more speed to get a Tail Whip on the last, (Just) It was good enough for 1st which was a big surprise never thought i would even make the top 3 as Clinton Johns, Daryl Brown and Nuno Pintas were riding so well. So stoked I get to keep the title for another year.

Thanks to Stacy, Eugene and all the KOD Team was an awesome weekend.

Untill Next time..... PEACE!
