Day 1. We left for Canberra at 7:00 in the morning on Thursday and I drove down with Black Josh while Brad went with Dan. Josh was coming for the Summernats and planned to stay the first night and then drive home Friday night. We got to Canberra at lunch time and set up our shitty tent and then went to Belco Skatepark to ride, and it was amazing. We got a bit of riding in until Dan's headset blew out because his steerer was bent, so we headed to Backbone Bmx for a new headset and forks. The guys at Backbone were awesome, and we were half way to Woden skatepark when the worst thing could have happened. Josh's head gasket blew. His car was completely fucked and we had to get it towed to the nearest servo. By the time everything was sorted out it was too late for any more riding so we went to tent.

Day 2. Summernats saw heaps of Burnouts and an overall sick day. We also got to see Drapht live which added to the stoked-ness.
Day 3. Josh gone, Dan, Brad and I went to Woden. This park was amazing as well, and then we rode Belcon again with the Backbone guys. These dudes have the sickest attitude towards bmx and I had one of the best rides in my life with them.
Day 4. We woke to the depressing sound of rain. After managing to pack all our shit up, we went to Golbourn skatepark and managed to get a ride in for a bit, however it soon followed us, and so it was time to head home.
The times like these really cant be described using words. The only way to experience something like this is by going out and getting lost, not making plans and just having fun the whole time, because these are the things you will remember the most.
