Lower Hutt, Wellington is small city surrounded by hills covered in regenerating native bush and gorse. The hills have wide tracks bulldozed in them to limit the damage of bush fires.
When it’s dry the fire breaks make great running tracks. The views of Wellington and Wainui are the best you will get. Photos from my trusty iPhone.

My partner’s brother and I head out to Thunder Cross Valley Bike Park in Auckland for some quad biking adventures.
I borrowed a friend’s Sigma 85mm 1.4 to take a couple of action snaps. Take a look. The bike is a Yamaha Raptor 700r, it’s insanely fast, the modified turbo versions must be on another level.
So it’s been a crazy long time since I bought the EVOcoupe from Jonny, but it’s almost done. I’ve had the guys at STM finish up loads of little things that needed to be sorted. When I was down in Wellington for the NZPC Summer Tour I took it for it’s very first drive. I’m really impressed with the power delivery and how smooth it is to drive. I dropped it down to Junior’s Kustom Rides to get it road legal. Because of the conversion, totally rad shaved door handles and the mad power the Nugget needs a LVV Certification before it can legally hit the road.
The Nugget next to it’s STM brother #Project86.
Sweet Mothers Kitchen has to be my favourite place to eat when I’m in Wellington, New Zealand. On this visit a friend and I tested out their Soft Fish Tacos, Curly Fries and the Hush Puppies. All received A+ ratings that match their customer service.
Went for a quick ride around Auckland’s waterfront the other day. The rain put an early stop to the day, so we hit up Mexico for lunch.
Both Pedey and I used to be really good at manuals on mountain bikes. On a BMX manuals are hard. Still a bit of work to go.
See look at us go.
Check that concentration face.

After a huge weekend at a Pedey’s wedding, Matt and I went for a run up Mount Manaia, Whangarei Heads, New Zealand. We were staying at a hired house which sat in a quiet bay just out of the shadow of Mount Manaia. This turns out to be pretty lucky, as local Maori believe living in the shadow of the mountain is totally bad buzz. The views from the top were out of control!
