    Talking Digger Mcewan - Taupo

    Far out, spent the last 3 days riding there!! its an insainly fun track!! The jumps there make kimmys laughable but its great fun once you get the hang of it! Monday and tuesday it was pouring down with gale force winds to top it off, but the track was still great to ride on! On tuesday afternoon they even groomed the track! Today the track was mint! the sun was out and the track was soo fast! i was clearing all the jumps except for the giant centre point, which was closed because of the wind, which kinda sucked but i probably wouldnt of been clearing it anyway.. It was my first time riding a track with decent size woops! the sawdust sections are mint, i spent all day trying to find the fastest lines but the ruts changed every lap with a few people riding it!

    I've got a few pics of the track and ill stick them up once i figure owt how to get them off my phone

    but if you havent been there, GO!! its soo much fun and its such an awsum track!!
    My choice is what I choose to do,
    And if I'm causing no harm, it shouldn't bother you.

    it is an awesome track, when it is prepped for big meetings it is unreal, the jumps are huge,

    beware the place can bite tho, i have left there in a helicopter before, and had a couple of other big crashes,

    Now this is the track we’ve had many invites to come and ride but we've not yet seen!

    We're there for the International next month. I’ve missed the entry date to get the boys in on the Friday so they’re a bit miffed about that! But we’ll be there for the Saturday and Sunday

    haha yeah! i got caught up in a gust of wind over the DAM jump which frightened the hell out of me! Took me awhile to try it again
