I had an great weekend at Boardstock at Penrith finishing 1st in the Rail Jam, 2nd in the King of Kicker and 3rd in the 1/4 Pipe Challenge. However I was really disappointed at my ride at the 2nd stop of the Australian Open.
My good mate Carro from Sweden came up to the Gold Coast to chill at ours for a while and I made the most of every moment since Penrith to focus on Moomba, Nationals and the start of the US Tour.
I decided it was time to get serious and just focus on the 15 or so key tricks I need to be able to adapt to throw into a comp pass. It was great to get a variety of Mobe 5's, Glides and consistent 9's back into my regular rides.
Moomba was a fantastic event. Better time slots and more quality riders. To have Steel Lafferty, Daniel Powers, Sam Carne, Marcello Giardi, Brenton Priestley etc in the event put huge pressure on me as the defending champion. All the boys rode solidly and they was some pretty serious tricks being thrown down. I had some great rides, but had the worst ride in the Semi's. Just like last year, I just scraped in to the final. Fortunately I was able to stick a solid pass and walk away with my biggest cheque yet!
Riding in front of over 200,000 fans on a warm Mebourne night was awesome. Having so many family and friends in the crowd was even better!
I'm currently in Perth at Bonney's Ski Park to hopefully defend my Australian Open Mens Title as well.
As for the US Tour, I have decided to not go over and ride Wake Games at OWC (which is tough because it's my sponsors event) but to stay and ride in the Australian Cable Nationals at Penrith in April. I love riding Cable, and it's good to be versatile in the sport. My new sponsor CTRL make great cable boards and I want to do my best to get them on the podium.
I will head to the US at the start of May and do the whole US Pro Tour, US Nationals, US Masters and the World Championships. Looking forward to it a lot.
