One Hit Wonder Begins.

via samuelmurphy.com

The One Hit Wonder event started yesterday and today I headed upto Thredbo to check out what all the hype was about.
The jump really is quite big. There is also a hip on the side which looks pretty fun.

I forgot my camera today so here are some photo’s courtesy of Snowboarder Mag.



I’ll make sure to take a couple of snaps up there tomorrow.

Cardies Backcountry

via http://samuelmurphy.com/

Yesterday we went riding at Cardrona. The pipe was in super good condition. The difference in pipe’s between Cardrona and Snowpark is crazy, Cardrona’s is alot bigger and narrower whereas Snowpark’s is smaller and considerably wider...

...After they closed the pipe we went free riding a little bit because the weather is meant to be coming in the next few days.

We hiked out the back of Cardrona in search of fresh snow. Alot of hiking for some not epic snow.


We hiked to almost the top of the bowl you can see on the left.

For the full post and more photo's head to Sam's website here. Jarryd also blogged on this @ jarrydwilliams.blogspot.com.

Nate Blogs World Juniors

The Nate Johnstone Blog via Pop Mag

Hey guys, just a quick update. I had World Juniors last week up at Cardrona. Things ended up going pretty well for me on comp day, the pipe was in real good condition and everything was feeling really good.
I ended up placing 2nd, which was great for me coming off an injury. The run in the finals that got me 2nd was fs 9, bs 9, fs 7, cab 10, fs melon. I’m hoping the weather gets better over here in NZ so I can get some more pipe riding in and start doing a little bit of filming with my GoPro before heading back to Australia in 2 weeks...

Steinbacher Ouch.

Today we went up to Snow Park but unfortunately after three runs we ended up here...


Yep, Charley fell in the pipe and dislocated his shoulder... no fun at all. He is about to head down to the medical center to get an X-Ray, so hopefully the results are good.

Nate Johnstone Blogs Ripcurl Freeride Pro

The Nate Johnstone Blog care of Pop Mag

So I have just finished up with the Ripcurl Freeride Pro here in Aus. It turned out pretty good this year as we have a awesome day riding on the Tuesday with sunny blue sky’s and some good snow which was great to kick start the event.

I ended up qualifying in 4th followed by Ben Mates & Pete Long tying in 2nd and then the Kiwi Mitch Brown taking out day 1 qualifiers with a sweet under flip off the bottom jump.


Unfortunately the weather came in for the next 2 days and we didn’t get a chance to run the finals so results of the event ended up coming off day 1 qualifiers results.

The Throw Down event was on the Wednesday night and Charles and the boys really put something special together this year. Team Ripcurl had Kieran McLaughlin taking out 1st place with a sweet gap 360 onto the down box. But all in all it turned out to be a great fun event again. Thanks to Ripcurl for putting on a great event again this year.
