bushpig 0 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Bastards stopped that lift with me the next one on and watching CB and Slow jumping off ahead of me! Lucky actually the winds were a bitch up higher for those stuck on the lift. Great time up there FT, cheers And watching you catch burn after burn from the large SJ crowd that night was damn good too! Was good to meet up with a bunch of you guys up there in Hakkas. Really enjoyed Sunday morning with everyone up on the Skyline and then Sock Monkey, Davo and CB down lower. Sweet! Link to post Share on other sites

Haven't seen Terje riding a fish recently...but he's always on a malolo but seriously, the fish has some serious float! I'd consider getting one if I didn't have a malolo. I want to get one for my wife. Bad luck BP, but count yourself lucky that you didn't get on that lift. The wind was so bad that me & Ak were snuggling I hope there's a next time BP Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Cool meeting up with everyone and also riding with that big group on Sunday. The 'funny walk' display out of the restaurant was gold The tree riding must just be starting to be good now. Next time SG, next time...the races were a good laugh anyway.
