Trundle's snow tales: Success at the Octagon Invitational Rail Jam

Dear Dragon fans,

This weekend I headed off to Dunedin for the Octagon Invitational Rail Jam, which was part of the New Zealand Winter Games entertainment. Thousands of people turned up to watch the action, which was in the middle of the town square. The set-up was a down bar, an up box with a big drop off it and a flat down rail. It took a big crew of volunteers a whole day to set it up, with a huge scaffolding and 30 cubic meters of snow brought in from Wanaka (my home town).

I got interviewed for Sky Tv and the competition will air on Sky 3 at 9pm on Tuesday night if any kiwis want to check it out. It was a really fun competition and Dunedin is such a cool town. I had a successful trip placing second in the open women’s category and taking home a sweet cash prize.

Until next time,

Dragon team rider & blogger:
