http://www.hitachiheatpumps.co.nz/ has a competition, which Jake has entered.
It's about taking an outside activity and doing it inside.
Currently being led by someone into playing with toy boats in a paddling pool.

Jake is a trials champion, and naturally rides his trials bike inside. Anyway, check out his video, and vote for him. Voting can be done once per hour, so don't forget to bookmark & vote as often as you remember ;)

What a joke. How on earth does someone put some boats in a paddling pool and get 9000 votes. Voted because Jake actually has a cool video and is showing some skill.

Very cool.

Pretty half assed competition running though, without a bit of blurb or even just a title of what each contestant has done, its pretty hard to know which vids are worth a watch/vote.

BRILLIANT, TOP SKILLS AND VIDEO.:third:

Couldn't help notice Dad's car in parking spot and front door open towards the end though. Mere details.

Great effort. However, the poor Hitachi heat pumps would have trouble with climate control if he's going to keep leaving so many doors open.

Done, and will be voting as often as I can remember. That is just absurd that a guy playing with boats is in the top! WTF!

Well, Tomo (the boring boats) has been bumped out of first, with a bicycle trials rider overtaking him. I still think Jake should be winning this, as he shows more skill & has been more in the spirit of the competition. The duck shooting one's got humour, but the haka one is beyond me.

Anyway, don't forget to vote for Jake and you can vote once per hour.

I am using the power of Face Book for this too... See if it works ;)

Well Jake showed bloody skills in the weekend at the Aussie world round finishing in 5th outright on Sunday 7 points off 2nd place.
In doing so he beat Pol Tarres (related to Jorrdi Tarres 7x world trials champ), what people are saying WILL be the next world champ after Toni bou.
Shame his mad skills are going to waste riding around the house in Wainuiomata.

He was wicked quick at the RED Bull scramble thing in Auckland,wouldve had them top boys a tad worried there till he binned it:2thumbsup
Be good if our next world champ was someone good at going slow, as the quick fellas in other disciplines are never quite there...lately.

Don't forget to keep voting people.
Jake is about to loose a spot to a school (Pompellier Catholic College)....
I guess they have 1000 teenagers on FaceBook voting all weekend though....
