June 2nd '08 : NZsnowboard.com Hollerblog : Snow Park Pre season Parties and Cardrona Riding...

2nd June 2008

So this week was busy - Snow Park Parties, Fergburgers and I even went riding again, this time at Cardrona for MDTV Episode 1. Llamas not dramas....

On Thursday we all went over to Qtown for the Snow Park party. I got an apartment next to the Snow Park boys bringing the number of apartments rented to 5. I smell trouble.

DC and Snow Park know how to throw a party

Fergburger in downtown Queenstown...... do it!!!

Snow Park and DC threw on a good party at revolver Bar with Taylor killing the decks and Fergburger dominating the early morning feed. A sick night out for sure catching up with all the Qtown crew etc. Mad Dawg easily took out player of the day for his stuntman work on the way home. Nice job!!

Nate and Bevan Hall thug it out after just watching the new G-Unit video

On Saturday we headed up to Cardrona with Liam, Bevan Nate, Bella and Tim Pierce to finish filming for Episode 1 of MDTV. Cardrona was off the hook - so much snow and it already a nice base set firmly to the ground. That place will be going off in a few weeks.

We sessioned some rollers at the bottom and then got a ride up to the top of Mcdougalls with Park Manager John Melville in the groomer. Epic!! A few powder turns down and we ended up hitting this lil hip with Nate taking the slam off the day with a massive front cork 5 to flat straight on his back. Liam killed it too - that guy is GOOD!!

So Tim got the shots on his new HD and then it was time for Round 2 of the Snow Park party - this time held at Red Rock in Wanaka. Dan was on the 1's and 2's and the night ended up being a pretty long one with everyone out in full force.

So what's been up Dutchy?? How's the weather?

Dutchy aka Stef Zeestraten even made a guest appearance with a custom made T-shirt that we did up before we went out. It was amazing!! Zinny killed the mic and threw away many a free product.

It was an eventful night to say the least and for those of you who know Rangi - he definitely was out and about.

Now it's back into another week. We are off to Coronet Peak later in the week to film Ep 2 of Newsweek with so am amped to get some more riding in.

Until next time - keep it rural. Peace.
