Day 1. Auckland heading North.

Epic.
feels so good to be back in the land of the long white cloud about to
get rad on the fine curves the North Island has to offer. Its to be a
smaller group of rad lads and a far cry from last years 20 odd. We got
11 crew from all round the planet. Matt k, Gabe, Bondy, Speedy, Kam,
Api, The Chad, Jacob and two new friends to add to the ever growin
family, Gavin from Calgary and Jordan from Albany, and myself. Good
times are just around the corner…..literaly!
The
van that we are using this year is a Mercedes TD, seats 14 and is comfy
as to lurk in on the way to the hills. Its gonna be a long 5 hour drive
up the North Cape to Mungamuka. Sit back and get our chill on was the
call. There wasn't too much sleep last night, i guess the anticipation
of the adventure had us sleeping lightly. Good thing it was a long
drive, plenty of time to chill.
Arriving
at the base of the southern side, eager eyes pry the front windscreen
and jaws start to drop. Even for those of us on the tour last year, it
still amazed us at how much camber was in the turns. the pavement was as
good if not better after 12 months of traffic. The joint is just off
the hook in the craziest way.

Everything
came back pretty soon after rollin in for the first time. The smells.
The speeds. The leaning corners. The features. Po dawg road kill.
Nature! Theres not too many out there offering the same as the 'Mukas'.
Coupla runs in we went to get some grub to fuel these athletic units of
ours! Lunch and a lurk in town at the sk8 park can always offer some
excitement too. Heavy gang scene in this area of the North. U wouldn't
know it? Back to the boarding and the arvy was filled with stoke.
Filming, mobbing, lurking, styling. Watever ya felt like, all were
getting rad.
With
heaps of light left in the day and totally spent from a days traveling
and shralping went and got the ingredients for the mondo cook up from
hell. Spag Bol! Stuffed and looking back on the day and I'm stoked to
say that I'm really looking forward to the next 2 weeks here, doin what
we do, with such a great bunch of blokes. Ntence Dcentz 2013 is gonna be
rad. Stay tuned for frothin updates.
