A good spot or park you’ve hit up lately…
Definetly the satellite dish we road last weekend! Once in a life time spot, we had to tinker with it to make it rideable but it was incredible.
Random story from your local park?
Ohh man, first one that comes to mind is when we were in Murray bridge riding an a houseboat full of afghan soccer players came over to the park and were kicking a soccer ball around and then it got heated quick after they tried to steal one of the local kids weed, and then it was on. It was about 15 of them into about 7 of us and it was full on. People got pushed off quarters, belts were being swung around. Then after a few minutes we just stopped and went out separate ways. Best part was the random Afghan who started it got laid out cold by a 13 yr old. Don’t mess with park rats.
