cool footage Fly, what's wrong wit the cam. looks pretty decent if ya ask me... i'll buy it off ya if you do end up replacing! I like the tank slapper moment about a quarter way through the clip with the big "wooohoo" gotta love that sand hey, if your tired... your fucked lol.

Had a huge whoop section monent at Tangimoana on the weekend... i had them pinned... 4th gear big wheel lift and was feeling just like chad reed must but the woop section just wouldn't come to an end and i was getting tired as... noticed a big root at the base of a whoop and lifted front over it but rear got all out of shape... came off top of whoop and was flying towards a big branchy pine..."aaaaaaaaah" said kerry and got a mouthfull of nice green pine needles
