Bummer man, I hope it doesn’t get you too hard. I slept for a week straight and my cardio fitness has been dodgy ever since.

Went to the mountain bike park again, did two runs before my ankle decided to quit. Pretty much anything other than quarters bigger than 6ft hurts my ankle at the moment. A mate sent me these clips we filmed back in 2016, so I threw them in a timeline. ... more »

Flew from Aus to ATX and back, and Aus into London and out of Dublin, all packed into an odyssey bag. Never had a drama, was covered as oversized luggage for all flights

What MBD said. I went back to work the week after breaking mine about 8 years back and it’s been pretty terrible since. In fairness, I’ve done it about 4 times prior. Usually by six weeks it’s good to start rolling around a little bit. Less if you got ... more »

Took the wee one to the bowl again today, managed to get in a solid 90 minutes before he got too tired. Also, this time four years ago I was heading off to the UK and Ireland for a trip with my now wife. Checked off some bucket list spots, proposed to

Headed a few hours north to watch a round of the national motocross championship. Stayed with my brother since the track is five minutes from his door. This bowl is about the same. Fun little set up!

To echo what has already been said, the devotion is the best option if you’re looking at buying new. The CS won’t be too long, I’d wager that something in that mid-length would be comfortable for a beginner. Not too responsive but stable enough that ... more »

It was $949AUD, which is about $650USD from memory. For context, that is what a production S&M retails for down here so it made sense

Trust me man, I can’t wait! I’ve already got him a DK balance bike haha. I think my old man wants him to go down the moto route like I did, he’s got a Stacyc on order haha. You and your lad have progressed heaps since Dodson opened!

I’m on 14 weeks paid parental leave at the moment, and I’ve been trying to work out the logistics to head to the bowl with my son by myself. Anyway, finally did it today and it went well. He likes the skatepark anyway so that definitely helped!

Honestly I haven't cut any laps on this thing at all yet, but my wife had a blast at the pump track last week. I'm keen to see how it feels though
