Shane Azar checks in from OZ - day 3&4

Mon, 28 Jul 2008 15:56:14 -0600

So day three started with another rainy bloody day. So we headed out to the amazing undercover big 4 stair, usually fine when it rains, but on this day we weren't so lucky. The rain had somehow come in and the ground was not only wet, but felt like it had oil all over it. So from there we cruised around for a bit looking fr spots. We found a dry patch in between rain and skated a nice 13 stair. Some shit went down then we moved onto a never skated perfect 14 stair rail. Brad an Kieran got the gnar on with after that
the rain set in for good.

Another day rained out but another productive day I suppose. It's day 4 now, about to head out to skate, but its still wet out and the clouds are all around us. My body is feeling like its been cheese grated after the 13 stair yesterday, so I might have to sit on the side line today.

Ill let you no how we go!

So we are staying my friend luke thomsons house and he is also the
photographer for this trip. So on arrival we see that there are clouds
covering the sky and rain look set to come in. so we head out trying to beat
the rain and get to this crazy old brick ditch. This thing was so hard to
skate, the only person who got a trick was Kieran with a nicely boned out
tre flip.

With some of my other perth friends meeting us there for a skate, such as
chris yow, harry clark and nick bossrio we were now ready to head off to
some spots we could all skate, but just when you think its gonna be ok, in
comes the rain.

The rain set in pretty hard, but we still kept cruising around, trying to chase and dry land down, harry managed to pull of the good and grabbed a tight wall ride down thei undercover 8 stair. That shit came out of no where.

Then off to the world famous woolstores metal ledges, there slightly undercover and if it hasn't rained too hard there we could still get a little
ledge sesh inn. But apon arrival it was clear there was no skating to be done, so with the first day an obvious rain out we really had nothing else
to do but go home call up some red bull girls and get them over to the pad.

Hey, mates,

We are on a trip to Melbourne and Perth.

The day started off with our photographer Luke showed us his knee. His two weeks into recovery for a knee arthroscopy and lateral release. See the pics for how jacked his knee still looks. So with the day over with due to rain, we called up some old friends, Zac Wilmore and Brett Margaritas to open up there local skate shop which has the dopest mini ramp for some beers and a skate.

More than happy to do so, on arrival we find the owner who is also named Shane had bought us all pizza. So with a room full of piss and pizza the session was gonna be good. Andrew Cussy came through an made an appearance and after the skate was done the bear bongs began! The night turned out to be a lot of laughs and really cheered everyone up after a pretty dismal day of rain.

So there is day number one rapped up, and ill be sure to keep you updates as the day progress.

I'm back at home in Harbord, Sydney Australia at the moment. We have the Australian version of the super bowl tonight... the state of origin! Cant wait, its gonna be a big piss up!

So the night I got home from visiting the states, I was down my local pub and some dude off his head on drugs hit me over the head with a glass... didn't even see the dude, was hit from behind then he ran on out. Shit was crazy, had blood drippin out of my head an my mates chick copped some shards to her chest. She needed 6 stiches, the top of my head and ear were cut open pretty bad. Would have been worse but luckily I was wearing a hat.

Off to Perth in 2 weeks too shoot with our newest little Red Bull rider,
Kieran Rielly. Should be a good little 7 day trip. Be sure to get you some pics an footage to you guys.

Then on the 3rd of august im heading back over there for a Hoon Run tour with a heap of aussie's like Andrew Curry, Matt Mumford and Jake Duncombe. Cant wait for that trip, lots of drinkin and skatin, what more could you ask for!
