On my way up to Christchurch to pick up my parents I stopped by Wake Park for a session. It was rubbish out; rain, cold, wind...but I rode anyway.
Wake Park is a small set up: System 2.0, two kickers, and a PVC shotgun up rail. There isn't much traffic, so the brother of the owner met me there and gave me a solo session, VIP for sure haha.
Started off fun. Got my legs back, threw some grabs and 3's off the kicker, got the GoPro out, and was feeling good. Then I washed out off the kicker and when I had dragged getting back up, it ripped the GoPro off my wrist. Down to the bottom it went.
The rest of the day was devoted to diving in the freezing cold water trying to find it, with no avail. Hopefully the guys there stumble upon it or I get a chance to go back up soon to look again (not a bad excuse to ride either...).
Sucky ending but I still got to ride, so i'm happy. I'll be buying Alex a new GoPro soon, but fortunately he has some pro-form prices so it won't put a huge dent in my bank account.
