RoAdTRiP!!!!!


Well, not really, more of a day trip.  Yesterday I went with a few of the guys to Reefton to ride their ridiculously large skate park.  It was about a three hour drive each way, which was probably my favorite part, as we drove directly into/through the Southern Alps.  We spent a good hour and a half to two hours driving through the thickest rain forest imaginable, all while weaving through an awe inspiring mountain range.  The drive was incredible, and not even all that scary even though New Zealand has no use for guard rails, even on the dodgiest of roads.  We arrived in the tiny town of Reefton around 12:30pm and road on and off for hours.  The heat was ridiculous, so I decided to take a dip in the semi dried up river that flows next to the skate park.  Some of you might recall a certain video of Dave Osato taking a swim in a river which he declared to be "freezing", this was the very same river.  Unreal day all around, and it's gotten me even more stoked to travel around and hike through the mountains.
