Perth trip
The sun was out so we hit a few parks in the heat before heading down to Mandurah to check out the comp setup for today, if you’re in the area make sure you get down today for the event. Dean tuck at Claremont park just out of Perth city…
Perth trip day 2 & 3
We had some heat then some rain over the past 2 days. We hit some good parks then a classic pool that you may recognise from the Colony DVD. A bunch of crew were already there which made for a good time. Unfortunately it looks like Alex has broken his hand from landing a bit wrong on a flair barspin. Yesterday it rained all day which stopped us from rolling but the weather looks good today so bring it on!
Jourdan video
Jourdan and his crew put together this video with footage from good looking spots, pools and trails.

Liam Marshall checks in…
New Zealand flow rider Liam Marshall sent us through an update from the past couple of months…
So I started the year off with a nice chill down in Queenstown with a couple of good mates. We went and stayed at the Redbull house, cheers to Jaden Leeming and the guys at redbull NZ for hooking us up, we tripped around a little bit and went around to Wanaka one day to film some clips and just see what the South Island had to offer. Couple of days later we meet up with photographer Miles Holden and went to this small little town of Glenorchy which had some great views and had a sweet little chill park, there was a sweet quarter to session so we caught a few shots on that.
We made a little chill edit of our times down there, which you can watch here.
I’ve also been doing a couple of demos on a box jump lately around Auckland city just for Auckland council which has been good fun…

Coops just released issue 31 of the Focalpoint, another really good issue packed with content from Australia. The guys have a very up to date Facebook page as well so give the guys a Like!
