Dave Pepperells Nass...
I caught up with Dave Pepperell who has let us know exactly how Nass went...
So we got there on the Thurs and hardly anyone was there... Well no public at least. Was good though as we got to ride the park with no pressure and just generally suss out the whole NASS 2011 site. The park had such a fun little section in the corner with a bank up into a quater pipe and back down the bank aswell as the big quater next to the elvis ramp it all felt so much fun to ride and had good sessions riding them in practice.
A few of us went to the mini ramp that motion and urban kreation had set up and it was the most amazing mini ramp ever i thought! It was big enough to throw big bangers but small enough for tech fun! We rode the mini from about 9 till 2 and some games of BIKE and such a laugh!
Friday came around as quick as ever although I slept crap on thurs night! Me,Harry and Oliie went down and chilled out riding around and watching the public come in then we rode the mini ramp again and practice in the park which was fun and pretty damn busy in there. Saw some absolute animals in there killing it! We all got on the alcoholic beverages in the evening and we were pretty much all smashed! Well, I cant remember a lot about Friday night but I do remember passing out at the tent and waking up being sick and then passing out again! haha! definately signs of a great night. Although there was a mini ramp comp on the fri night that i wouldve loved to had rode but only a handful of people knew it was going on! gutted on that.
Saturday morn I felt like I wanted to die! Never been that hungover and exhausted and I knew I had to ride in a few hours! Was not stoked on that as I could barely bunnyhop. I tried my best to pull myself together for my runs and did a couple of things I was happy with but pretty much after my first trick I felt like death again, pulled a big nac flair and a couple of good combos I was happy with but gutted I tried a flip fufanu on something that was a little to small though. Ah well... So yeah after riding we all chilled and it came to the point where the drink was flowing again.I however was soo tired and moody I just had to go to sleep.
Sunday came around and i just wanted my bed and not a sleeping bag anymore! I had two cooked breakfasts from the athlete food tent and had a flair for breakfast aswell and camp kernow camp sites ghetto quarter. Mad chills were had on Sunday and we watched dirt which i saw Digger (Martyn Wetherelt) do such a good run through the set! was so stoked for him on his run!! nice one mate! Then it was time for the Pro park finals and oh my god! everyone killed it! was soo stoked to see my boyees killing it! Justice rode awesome and sent the boxes home! Scott Hamlin almost killed himself doing a flair over the gap, Harry Main sent a massive drop in flair drop and tried a disaster to frontflip in, Kevin Peraza is amazing and did the best stylish tricks ive ever seen and so did Webbie.
Best thing I saw though was Todd Meyn doing a no handed 1080! I almost exploded in my pants!pahaha!
So that was Nass,well it was almost NASS obviously there was a lot of chillls,mad times,awesome riding,partying,crazyness and a hell of a lot of fun that I havent yet mentioned so for this I wanna thank all my friends who were there for making it such a good time and all the new people I met for just being sound and genuine!
Hope to see you and everyone else next year!

shoulder surgery
Hey guys, got out of hospital yesterday after having my shoulder sorted, they managed to get me sorted through key hole and they also gave me an epidural (what women have when they give birth) in my neck so i still cant feel much which is good, even tho i have no huge scars getting stabbed in the neck with a huge needle is pretty rock 'n' roll, so now i just have a waiting game on my hands.i have some pics to share.
The first one is me on enought pain killers to take down an elephant.
Then second one is the size of the bits of bone that came out and that were causing the pain, keep in mind there were 15 or more of these just in my shoulder.
ill keep you guys updated.
