Ok Ok. since iv been getting so many emails about not putting up any post from my fans i guess i will meet the demand. And by fans I mean the blooger team and by emails I mean, them telling me about all these new gay themes I could use to improve my blog.

At this very moment I'm laying on the ground at Denver International Airport, (just had harcore Deja-vu, wow) um, chilling getting extremely bored!!! It took 3-4 hours to get here because of the traffic and weather, blame part of it on Martin Luther King Jr, thanks mate, every man and their dog were on their way home.

So I've been injured the past 4weeks so I've been taking it easy, back on track now and on my way to Japan for a photo shoot for 10days, should be dope!! Meeting up with the man himslef Lee Ponzio in Tokyo then heading to Asahikawa. Cant wait to get on the plane, I've been chillin here for 5hours and still have four to go..... It will be worth it!

I've been living in Frisco, Co with myslef and Belmore, we have a pretty sweet crib going on. Breck's been pretty fun so far and the park looks DOPE cant wait to get back and hit it!

I'll throw up a few pics of whats been going on.

Do Tricks, Get Chicks

2010-09-09T05:27:00.000-07:00

Do Tricks, Get Chicks. That was the plan.
Our photo shoot in our secret location was lacking a bit of snow... After a few wheel barrow trips hunting for snow we set up our fist jib which was a jump over a fence to drop, I was up first, not knowing the speed I came up a little short landing on a sleeper. Second attempt got it perfect, sessioned that for a few hits then moved on. A few crew came across from Buller and had a shred as well, fun times.
Our second feature was at least 25m long, it was a wooden flat rail. It was so sick but a bitch to get to the end, we all played around on that for a while before we got into some grass boarding.
By the end of the day we were covered in mud, rolling with new balla watches thanks to Lee Ponzio our photographer and Rep for Alive Athletics Australia and stoked we got a few sweet shots. Will Kendal from Third Chapter was getting the angles with the video came, stay tuned for some footage. Cheers Lee and Will.
Our location was a bit to secret and the chicks couldn't find it.Plan fell through

2010-09-01T03:06:00.000-07:00

One other thing, I keep forgetting to post, a few weeks back I broke my hand and wrist in a fight in the city. My self and my mate got jumped by 8 guys for no reason they might of been wog...not pointing any fingers,lol. They came off second best anyway. Had an Xray today just to make sure healing is on track, should be good as gold in a few weeks.So if you see me with a splint on my hand, not grabbing with my right hand or falling over awkwardly is because of my wrist. Or not doing really cool shit, I'll blame that on it to.
Peace

2010-09-01T02:40:00.000-07:00

Good news, I just received a call from Tim Myers and I'm in the OneHitWonder comp at Thredbo!
Pretty stoked about this. Last year I rode in the comp but unfortunately at the time I had a torn ACL and was unable to do the whole comp and ride to my full potential. This year is different.

I've got a few tricks in mind that I'm going to do, I'v been waiting all season to hit a decent jump and cant wait to get some new tricks!

STYLEWARS

2010-08-27T19:31:00.000-07:00

2010 Stylewars once again was more of a party than a competition. The weather was not on our side, we couldn't hit the jumps at all due to the intense fog and wind. I got to check out the course and it looked unreal.

Pretty annoyed we didn't get to hit them.
After a few days of partying and killing time Thursday night came around and it was time for the Rail Jam!

Rode ok in the comp, landed a few big trick like front270 and switch inward270 over the kink as well as a few tech tricks like switch frontlip to frontboard. Could of rode more consistent though. The conditions made the comp pretty challenging, it was snowing extremely heavy which made it hard to see.

2010-08-27T19:25:00.000-07:00

Chillin with the Third Chapter Crew in Hotham

2010-08-18T03:16:00.002-07:00

Myself and Belmore headed over to Hotham for a weekend filled of shovelling with Tim and Rainer.
Liam Kaska with his camera and Will Kendel with the video camera were ready to shoot and get the shots. We started off building a step-down back country jump over the back side of Hotham, sessioned that for a little while, I managed to get a pretty sweet backside rodeo off it.
Next up we found a sweet A-Frame metal jib in a junk yard, set it up and messed around on that for awhile before getting in some 4wding. The next day we went back over where our jump was and set up another stepdown, this thing was sweet, could of been perfect if there was just a little bit more snow. Later that night we got some shots using a stump, tabletop and a little landing.
Thanks to Will Kendel,Liam Kaska and Rainer for the weekend!

Mountain Dew

2010-08-10T02:04:00.000-07:00

Was stoked to be apart of the 2010 Mountain Dew Hut comp!
Ride selected myself and Kieran McLaughlin to represent them in the comp, hadnt ridden with Kieran before but I'd hear a lot of good things.
By the end of the night I was stoked on how myself and kieran rode, he kills it.
With having a broken wrist and hand I was trying to be pretty careful but I felt comfortable enough to throw a few big tricks like a back rodeo off the far up box on the roof gaping to flat. The Oakley team came through with the goods taking first place and Decampo scored the Gatorade rookie prize congratulations to the NZ boys and Chris. The results showed that we came 6th.

From a good day to a funny night to a shit day

2010-08-10T00:48:00.000-07:00

So what do you do after a good day of shreding with some money in your hand?
You go out and party! Thats exactly what I did, cought up with a few mates in the city and got loose.
Long story short myself and my mate Zac got jumped by around 8 guys(wogs) for noreason in the middle of the city on the way home, ended up doing alright for ourselves which resulted in them running away, had a few laughts about it after then when to the strippers.
Come the next day both our hands were pretty sore and swolen, after an xray, I had broken my hand and wrist and my mate broke his finger in two places. Got a cast put on and bobs ur uncle, good as gold. Mt Dew comp in one week!

Forum Rail Jam at Baw Baw

2010-07-26T18:51:00.000-07:00

Headed up to Baw Baw with Belmore for the Forum Rail Jam this weekend. The event was dope once again and the weather didn't let us down. The comp was run with two heats of around 20 people, 8 riders from each heat went through to finals. I managed to get through to the finals. I felt like I rode pretty consistent and landed a few good tricks which managed to score me 2nd place! I walked away with $500 in $5 notes a rad artillery box, skull candy headphones and some T's.

So what its been like 3 months since my last post, shit my bad. Been sooper busy.
Whats news: 1. had our premier for Spare Change By Wetsocks Productions, went super well had a massive turn out and was stoked on my part, managed to get the closing part! After party was just as good, sent it.

2. Got shots run in all the first issues of Transfer, snowboarder and snowboarding magazines, I'll scan them and chuck them up when I can.
3.When I try to think about whats been going on I cant remember.
4. Season has started at Buller not much snow but cant complain, mini park on Burk Street bit of fun.
5. Had qualification for the Burton Cattlemans rail jam, made it through and competed in the final, unfortunately my binding broke first hit but managed to keep riding with the help of Nick Reichstein finding some zip ties and doing his best to hold my foot in place. Rode pretty mellow in the comp but put down a few good tricks.

6. After party in Kooroora was pretty dope, big turn our of riders and friends as well as the people responsible for keep the snowboarding industry going. It was awesome to see big dogs them self Ryan Stanistreet from Rusty, Scott Gosden from Ride and Steve Watts from Ballistyx getting their drink on and having a good time.

7. Think that's it...

Coming to an end

2010-04-12T16:39:00.001-07:00

OK so competed in my first comp since my knee reco a few weeks ago at Key Stone, it was the Peanut Butter, Volcom Rail Jam. The set up was a flat barrel a down rail and an angled box. There was a massive turn out of riders forcing there to be 3 heats for open men's, I made finals which I was pretty stoked on, except I had to leave before the final because I borrowed a car and needed to return it before 3pm. The next day was a slopestyle comp at Breck for Spring massive the course consisted of a flat down box to a 25ft to a 35-40ft jump then a long down bar then a kink rail. My first run I kooked it and fell on a cab underflip 720, some reason I couldn't land my stock tricks so I mellowed it out and went front 360 to double backflip and stomped it. Didn't make top 3 and there wasn't a best trick division...gay. The results arnt up yet.
Spring is defiantly underway here in Colorado, Breckenridge has now closed along with the other mountains.
Today we all started cleaning the house and packing up our things, I'm heading to Boulder on Wednesday since our rent runs out to chill out for 9days with a few friends. Here's some photos of whats been going on lately.

Road Trip

2010-03-30T18:38:00.000-07:00

After spending a week in Tahoe with Tyson, Belmore, Woods, Ash, Maddie, Madison and Caitlin at Caitlins house we mannaged to get a bit of filming done for our moive and cut a few laps at Northstar. Most days we headed up to Donner Pass and set up features and filmed, we set up a sweet wallride and a pretty big booter off an old railway line bridge. We also hit a wooden kink rail that backed onto the lake and got a few good shots on that. It was a pretty dope week hanging with mates for spring break and filming. Here are some shots. Enjoy.

Fun Times

2010-03-18T18:31:00.000-07:00

We were about to head home, I was waiting at the bottom of the pipe for Belmore to come down when Michaela said come do some hand plants on the quarter pipe, awesome idea have'nt done handplants in ages. Soon enough everyone was hitting it with us, Tim and Henry were getting shots and Belmore was filming it, the weather was perfect. Here are some photos of handplants, rodeos and some other kinds of spins.

DOUB RODEO

2010-03-16T22:37:00.000-07:00

Another sunny day at Brecks perfect park!
After sessioning Freeway (the bigline) I headed over to the last jump in parklane and decided it was time to try a trick i've been thinking off for a few days, Double Back Rodeo. First attempt went really well I got the rotation perfect, I just landed really deep and blew out on the landing, same thing happend again second shot. Just gota take it to a bigger jump tomorrow. Staty tuned.

DOUBLE BACKIES!!!!

2010-03-13T12:56:00.001-08:00

After calling it yesterday that I was going to get a double back flip today I headed up the hill with Dhanu. The weather was epic, blue skies and fairly warm weather which made it pretty much perfect conditions apart from one factor, I never though the snow could be that quick and be a bad thing. It made it a bit of a challenge to get the speed right and made overshooting look like it was going out of fashion.

After back flipping every single jump in one run I was feeling good and decided it was time.
Back flipped the first jump and came into the second/last jump with a fair amount off speed and went for it. Got the grab and kept rotating then stomped it taking it deep on the landing. So stoked. Ended up stomping all of them and made them cleaner each time. Epic day.
I'll get some footage and chuck it up asap.
Peace

New Stunts

2010-03-09T14:18:00.002-08:00

So over the past two snowboarding days I've managed to learn two new tricks. One being a Backside Rodeo and the other a Switch Backside Rodeo. I had a session at Woodward with a few of the boys and learnt a double back rodeo off the ramp into the foampit. Cant wait to get them down on snow as well as a double backflip! It's a big step up though.

One not so sunny day at Breck

2010-03-06T15:55:00.000-08:00

Made it home!

2010-02-28T11:10:00.000-08:00

After 2 weeks of getting back into snowboarding and getting tricks back we (Tyson, Belmore, Dhanu,Ash and Tim the photographer.) made the trip down to Boulder CO. Arriving late we decided to get some rest for an early start.
Friday morning bright and early we packed our gear and went to the first destination after meeting up with Stags and Woods, this was a barrel down bar exiting an underpass check photo. Tim was there taking photos, Stags was there filming for the Ballistyx Snowboard Show and we were also filming for our movie Spare Change (Wet Socks Productions).http://wetsocksproductions.blogspot.com/

Half way through a State Ranger rocked up questioning what we were doing but after some sweet talking she had no problem with it and even tried to help us out with different locations. The money shots were taken so we moved on.

The second spot was an up rail with a drop off the side located in a park, we all got to work setting it up, forming the run in the lip and setting up the Bungee Rope. The snow was perfect to make the lip but every minute after the heat was dramatically affecting the run in and was forming it into a wakeboard course. I managed to get the shot with the help of all the boys pulling the bungee and filming. Cheers bros.

We headed to the Dorms where the College students live to scope some features, found a few sweet hits but didn't end up hitting them, another time.

After a successful day a few of us decided to go out with our College friends to a few Frat parties and what not, good night.

Up early again but not as early as the day before, we all headed to a local school to hit a down rail with a decent size donkey dick on the end. Upon arrival we found that the in run was a lot smaller than expected and to make it worse it was right under a roof drainage pipe, so while strapping in we were standing under a waterfall. A few tricks were thrown and a few shots were taken and that was a wrap for our Boulder urban trip! We ended up making it home Saturday night at midnight.

Also some other photos of what I've been up to lately.

1st day at Breck

2010-02-11T21:04:00.000-08:00

Got up early with the boys and headed up the hill. This was the first time I've been on my board since my surgery, I rode like a spastic at the start of the day with my new Ride DHtwo board. As soon as I got my feet back the board was amazing. It was a windy and cold day but my Rusty clothing did the job had no problems at all.
Taking it easy just to make sure my knee is alright, I just took a few hot laps then hit the pipe abit and a few box's. Everything is feeling great and cant wait to get back out tomorrow.

Final days passing time

2010-02-04T22:36:00.000-08:00

Adding along side Ride Snowboards and Ashbury eye wear I'm super stoked to announce Rusty outerwear. Dropped into the shop in North Melbourne to pick up some gear just the other day and met up with Ryan and some of the Rusty crew. These guys are super stoked on pushing their company and I can't wait to be reping their company as well as Ride and Ashbury.
Also finding out that Romain De Marchi is riding for Rusty aswell and that we are the only two peole rocking the outerwear atm.

Flights have been booked for the 10th of Feb so only 5 days to go, can not wait.

Some good news

2010-01-27T19:14:00.000-08:00

As of yesterday my doctor has given me the go ahead that my knee is strong enough to get back into full on sports like SNOWBOARDING. Hell yer.

I have also been picked up by Ride Snowboards to be apart of their team. Stoked.
Everything is coming together in preparation for America.

I've got way too much energy just to be chillin in Melbourne atm, I've been reverting to surfing, jumping off bridges, swimming Bmxing, making shit and going out. And can't forget working..

Myself and my mate James are throwing a fair big going away party since we are both leaving Melbourne for some time. Stay tuned from some photos, should be a big night.

Last day of 09!

2009-12-30T16:38:00.000-08:00

Two months have passed since my surgery, my knee is looking and feeling really good. My doctor and physio are super stoked on my progress and how far ahead of schedule I am. 2010 is going to be a good year and can't wait till I'm back on snow.

Fingers crossed 2009 goes out with a bang.(pun intended).
Happy New Year.

Here's a video I've been meaning to put up for a while now, from One Hit Wonder event that i was invited to.

Operation

2009-10-21T03:40:00.000-07:00

So after an awesome last week of school, stuffing around, mucking up and going out, Monday the 19th finally arrived. Got to the hospital and got prepared for surgery, met the nurses and was happy one was fairly good looking, which helped me take my mind off surgery. The surgery was over within 1 and a half hours and doc said everything went really well. The LARS ligament is in and recovery has started.

Booked In

2009-10-12T23:50:00.000-07:00

Booked In for the 19th of October to get my ACL reconstruction and get the LARS (artificial ligament). Which means I can start rehab really soon and get back on snow this summer in America.

News and Bad news

2009-10-08T03:49:00.000-07:00

OK, so it been a really long time since my last post, I'v been busy with comps, school and doctors.
Since the last post I competed in STYLEWARS which was epic, I rode really well in the rail jam on the 28 stair, bad weather postponed the session on the jump until the last day on the 80ft booter.

Got invited to the "One Hit Wonder" (Down Under) comp at Thredboe and had a awesome time. The jump was sweet and around 70ft. Unfortunately due to a prior injury I took things easier than I would have liked, never the less it was still a great experience.

So about a month prior to these events I injured my knee riding out of a jump, got caught up in the slush and fell hard and awkwardly, I though I just tweaked my knee and the physio said its just a hyper-extension and recommended I took a few days off to let it mellow out. Followed doc's orders and got back on snow asap. My knee was sore but only when I hyper-extended it, nothing some tape wouldn't fix to stop extension. Anyway last Tuesday I get an MRI with the results I'v been dreading I have severed my ALC and need surgery. Fingers crossed I get this new technology called the LARS ligament (artificial) which only takes 3 months to recover and make it back to America, but will have to work my ass off to get tha cash.

Trying to keep this in mind "A set back is a set up for a comeback"
Peace

STYLEWARS

2009-08-19T05:26:00.000-07:00

I have recently been invited to compete in STYLEWARS. When I heard the news I was soooo stoked. I remember back in 2007 watching Torstein on TV hitting the 120ft jump and thinking to myself "HOLY SHIT" this comp is insane and hoping one day I would be able to compete in it.
From the insane setups they have to the calibre of riders this comp is going to be epic and I'm so happy to be part of it.
I'm putting out for a good result.

update

2009-08-05T04:10:00.000-07:00

Been up on the hill filming and getting shots with the boys for our movie 'Spare Change', look out for it, its kind of a big deal. Recently got a few good shots with Lee Ponzio and Mike Cooper on a super fun jib and a fair scary wallride. Fingers crossed they find their way into some magazines.

BAW BAW

2009-07-20T22:57:00.000-07:00

Ok, so the season is well and truly underway, with comps happening left right and center.
This weekend happened to be the Forum rail jam at Mt Baw Baw, for my first time at Baw Baw I was extremely impressed with what they had to offer. I competed in the under 18's and managed to score first place. Over all it was a good weekend.

2009-05-03T04:01:00.000-07:00

Headed up to Mt Buller early this morning with Miles to a amazing sunny and hot day. Cut a few laps with the boys on the Holden Express we travelled over to a corrugated pipe where some fun times and fresh tricks were pulled out of the bag, it didn't seam to matter that is was the first day riding for most. Cant wait it for the season to start. Photos by Shaun Belmore

2009-04-29T06:47:00.000-07:00

Just thought i would chuck up some shots from Buller last season and Vail last season.

Good news Buller has had a huge dump of 35cm and is OPENING this week end. The earliest it has ever onened its runs. Things are looking good.

Breck 09

2009-04-27T05:43:00.000-07:00

Travelled to the United States of America.
To a mountain known as BRECKENRIDGE in Colorado.
Trained with the elite porgram TSC breck crew, founders (Christine Hocking and Jarrod Wouters).
Just a few happy snaps of what went down.
