Winching After Big Rains

About two months back now we had a couple days of hard rain that went on and on filling up the catchments around town. Coming home from uni I got a call from a couple of the guys saying they found some sic spots they wanted to hit up with the winch and it was game on. First spot we hit was a pond in the middle of this huge public park right next to town, it stank really bad but Tristo got in there for a few runs on the wakeskate until the Council guys came and told us we should probably leave.


After that we headed to a stormwater catchment which was nice and grassy and had plenty of room to move, but it was only a couple inches deep. There was a bit of a construction yard next door and we managed to jump the fence and sweet talk the guys there into 'lending' us some stuff to play with.. First we just ollied over a 44 gallon drum, then we decided to up the stakes and make a bit of a kicker with a big steel sheet.


It was pretty rad and booty and we got some good hits till I got hung up spinning backwards and fell on my shoulder pretty hard snapping my collar bone. That kinda killed the mood so we packed up and headed down to the hospital so they could sling me up.
