Lovely Daze

Figured it’s probably time to drop a blog for ya. Might look like I’ve been slacking on it, and the truth is—I’ve 100% been slacking on it.

11:06am – Ormeau Skatepark

Posted up at Ormeau skatepark, currently sitting in my car, absolutely cooking. Almost pulled a muscle trying to find a sign to spell “Ormeau” properly. Thought I was late—turns out I’m early, love that. It’s fkn hot. Real sweaty-type morning.

Today’s plan: get some clips with Kyle for his lil’ vid we’ve been chipping away at. Also maybe just film the boys and stack a bit of footage for the 2026 banger-and-mash movie. Still haven’t fully decided if that’s a thing, but Kyle’s vid is definitely coming first. Just trying to avoid a full-blown heat stroke out here.

Speaking of—yeah, I actually had heat stroke the other week. Big night on the tins, next day I decide to “chill” in the sun, and end up passing out for hours. Woke up shaking, Google reckons my kidneys were halfway to cooked. Bit of a close one, not gonna lie. But we move. Enough of that, back to nerd-ass bike talk.

11:16am – Troops Arriving

Kyle’s rocked up in one of his monster trucks and the chat’s started. Nathan’s showing off some pedals he got from his old man, refusing to grab new pegs ‘cause he “just got some.” He’s also really sus that the pedal plastic’s changed. Off he goes for a pedal, might even jump off the roof to kick the day off.

Little arguments have broken out about who chose the Goldy for the ride—turns out it was Willy, but he’s ghosted. No show. Vibes calmed down now, though. Nathan rides off yelling, “DO YOU KNOW SPENNY IS A PRO FINGER BIKER?” If you didn’t, now you do. Explains why he’s always out kissing chicks.

12:03pm – Midday Check

Spenny’s actually finger biking. Renato’s with the fam sinking beers. Nathan’s at the ATM getting pokie money. Kyle’s on a ginger beer. Marti’s somewhere nearby with Morty. Streets soon.

1:21pm – Rail Time

Pulled up at a rail. Nathan’s having a bit of a moment—bailed to the floor block for 2-3 business days, but he’s back now. Standing up top again, sayin,g “I’ll give it one honest attempt and call it.” Kyle shuts the whole thing down.

Nathan’s talking so much crap I can’t even process it anymore. Full brain melt. Raph’s in the group chat, and he’s yellow-carded Nathan. Not for the clip—he DPed the rail—but for the psychological trauma from the chat overload.

3:11pm – Wrapping It Up (Sorta)

Skipping some of the noise, but we’re at a spot I’ve known for ages. Super cheeky. Few clips go down—mad ones too. Stuff in the bag.

Day’s winding down, but Nathan? He’s still buzzing. Calling everyone he knows to try to squeeze more outta the day. The rest of us are tapped. First proper street day back for me since going pro town... and yeah, we’re so back.
