My knee is still sore and it’s still super rainy so I’ve spent the day watching about 9 episodes of this new series I’m totally in too called Sons of Anarchy. Scotty got some riding done in the rain at dusk though and here are some pictures from todays shoot.

 Scotty on a Secret 2013 board! (;

So I’ve finally found them and here they are:

King of Kicker: 4th Place!! (I was so stoked after that tantrum to blind, it was almost worth messing up my knee for.. almost)
2 Tower Challenge: Shared 4th Place!! (When the girls rode the 2 tower challenge it didn’t feel like a contest cause we we’re all so excited to hit that quater pipe. Stoked that my hootchie, toe 5 and rail hits got me a shared 4th place though!)
Liquid Force Rail Jam: Completely and totally last place! (Guess falling twice on the kicker isn’t what you wanna do if you want to win a railjam like Courtney Angus did, sick riding girl!)

Today dear friends I’ve been hugging trees. Knee still sore so no riding today either. Instead I’ve been watching Scotty Green get a sick shot for Double Up’s catalogue 2013. Let’s just say we had to put 3 ropes together behind the boat (making the rope about 150 feet) to get it. And back to the hugging tree part. Apparently we needed a shot of me hugging a tree too so I’ve been doing it, sticking to only one tree, and trying to do what they boys wanted me to do (all clothes still on) in front of the camera. With comments like “pretend like you’re lost in the woods and someone’s calling out your name” and “Give us that sexy tree look” I’ve been laughing and making out with my dear tree. Lot’s of fun and now pasta for dinner. And yeah, of course we had some birds come and visit here as well. (:

Today was a really chill day. Been working on e-mails and computer stuff all day and my knee is still sore so I watched the others ride for a bit. Luckily for me the conditions we’re so bad that I didn’t even really feel bad for not being able to ride. After a couple of freezing hours in the boat it was great to get in the hot tub with the boys and chillax. My knee feels so much better, and it’s actually starting to look like a knee again so who knows, I might get to ride Scotty’s sick wake tomorrow!

Drove down yesterday with the double up team to Scotty’s summer house. We’re spending the next couple of days here to do photo’s, wakeboard and surf. Life would be pretty sweet right now if it wasn’t for my sore knee. It is a little bit better today though after I slept with it on some cushions so at least I could move it this morning. About to go and be Sam and Scotty’s pro hoe and watch them ride now and hopefully I can ride again tomorrow.

Some studio shots for hardline, bite the rope, bite it! (:

I woke up yesterday morning with a sore knee. I didn’t feel when I hurt it but I guess it was on my Backside 3 in the king of kicker since I had a rough landing. Not thinking more about it I swallowed some pain killers and went to compete in the Rail Jam. I rode terrible and fell on my second hit on the kicker, had to run back to the starting dock and took one more lap where I then fell again on a ts 5. Waking up today was a bit of a shock cause me knee is all blown up and I can barely move it. Really sucky timing and I just hope that it will just be an effect from riding too much and that I haven’t torn anything.

Maybe I should do like Greg who broke his foot on a tantrum and now rides around one of these motordriven skateboards? 

One of the contests I entered yesterday was the King of Kicker and I actually had a good sesh! Landing a stalefish backside 3 and my tantrum to blind of the wave kicker here in Penrith. I still don’t know what place I ended up getting but I know that Angie Schriber won the comp with her amazing hs 720. Second was Sophie Hogben with a ts 720 and third Hayley Smith with the biggest glide I’ve ever seen a girl throw down. I’m stoked on that contest though and really want to ride more. Unfortunately one of the landings seemed to hurt my knee a bit cause I woke up with it completely swollen. I’m planning on that to go down by tomorrow though cause I really want to hit that quarter pipe!

Penrith just recieved a new quarter pipe for the 2.0 challenge. This is what the monster looks like and I really want to try and hit it for fun a bit tomorrow since it was my first time hitting it in the comp. Such a fun toy for about, what rumors say, 10.000 aussie dollars…

Angie rode sick, but Hayley ended up taking first place in this contest. I still have no clue where I ended up.

Hey, dont forget to check out the new search magazine! Remember the trip for Xtravel I took down to denmark with Niclas Magnusson? Well, our picture got a whole spread on page 116-117 and you can read the mag online. Check it! (:

Yesterday was the first day of Boardstock here in Penrith (Sydney). It started with the Team Riders Cup and even though I love my Melissa I couldn’t help but riding for my friends with the Double Up team. As one of the 9 women riding for their board brand, pressure was on! Sophie Hogben, Bec Gange, Hayley Smith and Anna were killing it on the rails but no one came close to Angie Schriber who landed TWO 720’s in her pass! I didn’t ride too good again so I’m eager to try and fix that with the 2.0 challenge and the King of Kicker comp today!

When it comes to the team challenge no one really had anything to put up against Liquid Force’s international team. The 3 riders representing were Harley Clifford, Danny Grant and Tom Fooshee and they dominated on the water. It was pretty crazy to see them all out on the cable at the same time and sure enough later on at the DEFY premier they got announced the winners.
