A Rocking Good Day

Today mates from Skis & Bikes and I were on our way to Mt Seymour for the Rocky Mountain Bikes Demo and Ride day to sample there 2012 line up. The weather was not looking good but turned out for the best, not too hot not too cold. We were in for a real treat with the new line up being a hot topic amongst the bike world. The hype was killing me and so was my gut so it was off to get it full with what ever goodness I could find.

You can't demo bikes on a empty stomach. Waffles, berries and custard for the Win from some little french shop.

















1st view of the set up the Rocky Team had put on for all the other shops.

They out did there self with the awesome range of food form Cliff, Honey Stinger and a catering company with mean burgers to keep us all riding all day.







Hanging out in the car park there are some pics you see that are priceless. This was the icing on the cake. The toyota is 30yrs old and the Element has been re-born and now 30 yrs on it's stronger than ever.















The little fella "Alex" attempting to throw his leg up on the rear wheel but his legs had other ideas and decided to stay on the ground. Big Wheels are coming!

















Bryan showing off the stealth black on black element that will be flying around your local bike track so fast it will look like a blur.










Tippie and My self. Always stoked to get out on the bike and have a laugh.












Say no more, Rocky came all guns blazing with their demo fleet! 6 inch to Hardtail they had all bases covered!


















So the day was nearing it's end and after all the shredding it was drift time. After laying some of my finest drifts I have done we decided to capture some on the camera. "one last one" Zip, Zing, Whack. The ever infamous front wheel wash out happened and led to the pic below.














Time to call it a day and limp it back to the demo site.


















We got back and the team was almost all packed up and ready to go out for a staff rip.











Myself and the crew from Rocky ending the day off with a smile. The staff right from the 1st Hi at the start of the day threw till the good bye at the end would stop what they were doing to have a chat. I found My self wandering around the demo site had a number of staff coming up and have a chat about the product but more importantly they were interested and wanted to know who you were and what mate you tick.






Home ward bound and after a long day riding, some times you just have to let your self go. Q was in the mood for some french rap music and dressed up accordingly.















So ended up with a puncture wound and a awesome gash to boot. The dam gash wouldn't stop bleeding no matter what I did so after this 1st effort I decided to put on a non stick dressing and followed it up with another 3 dressings to keep her nice for the morning.















Getting my art ness on, This ones for you Mr Ross












A sun set to end the day of in style.

Thanks to all the Guys and Gal who made the day possibly for every one. Love the ride!
