Cam White Update: March
Thursday 4 March 2010
The past few weeks have been pretty hetic. The jumps held up great after the jam and I was stoked that it wouldn't take much work to get them back to running dialled. That was until we had the biggest storm in about 8 years. I got a txt MSG from Hess and all it said was 'there goes ya jumps'.
The following day I went out to check it out and was blown away by the damage. 3 of the take off have eroded and partially collasped as well as 3 of the landings and all the run-ups and inbetween the jumps is pretty much non-existant. I was so bummed to see the state of them and I now have hours and hours of digging ahead of me.
Apart from the jumps being trashed, I have spent a lot of time in the foam pit, well more like dust pit as my foam pit has been weathered for a few years. Besides breathing in all the rotted foam particles and getting it in your eyes, it still serves the purpose that it is made to do. I have a couple new tricks dialled in there and am working on some new bangers for the up and coming season.
After we counted up all the dollars raised at the jam, over 13 grand, I took the check into the Canberra hospital and met with some of the kids in the peadiactic ward. I handed out some posters and stickers and also got pushed around on a dope chopper by one of the kids. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad that all the coin we raises is going to a great cause.
Thanks to everyone for their dontaions! Tim fountain and I went out to our friend Bruces house to work on his sons, Scotty and locky's jumps and to have a ride. They have a sweet set up with 4 jumps in a row going down a slight hill and Turning to the left. The last set is pretty big and a nice floater. I just got word that Scotty broke his leg on the last set the other day, get better soon mate.
As for this up and coming week, well I'm currently on a plane flying to Perth. It's non stop for me this month, inbetween learning new tricks in the foam, digging jumps, camping and fishing, who knows what the next week will bring!!!??? Stay tuned for updates from perth!! Later!
