Zack Bright, Bruno Jacob, Matthieu Courtois, all our New Zealand Family, The Tassie Boys, Heath Lavis from SA, the Victorians, the Queenslanders, the New South Welsh men and women and everyone who travelled from near and far just to be apart of this event, we thank you for your enthusiasm, your effort to be apart of the Rip’N Ride and your unmistakable dedication to the sport of freeride. The level of riding that was produced by not only some of the veterans but first time entrants was mind blowing. This sport is taking on a whole new level of ability and if last weekend was any indication we have a lot to look forward to.

To Krash Industries and the Australian Freestyle Championship, Thanks for putting your neck on the line again for the future of the sport. You had a talented bunch of riders doing some amazing freestyle riding and we wish you all the best for the upcoming rounds.

It was really great to have Carl and Kristen from Cold Fusion come all the way from California and experience the spirit of Rip'N Ride. I have no doubt that they will have many stories to tell when they return to the USA.Corin and Jason, from the Sunshine Coast Surf Slam event, my right hand men, who travelled down here just to help me out. I really could not have done it with out you. You were there for me right from the beginning and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I owe you big time.To our first time riders, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, The Rip’N Ride seems to be an addiction to those who start and we hope to see you in 2014.Andy Green, the mic master... you know how to control this event and get the crowd excited. Thanks for keeping things on track you certainly make my weekend a hell of a lot easier.To my wife, who not only “Let’s me do this”, but slaves away with every application, email, spread sheet, proposal and meeting, I would like to truly thank you. I know you do this because of me, and that’s why I love you.To my family, behind the scenes, cooking BBQ’s, spinning records, baby sitting, lending a hand, thank you also.To my friends, guys and girls that aren’t even in the sport, who have lent their time to help me out, it is a true reflection of your personality and friendship, thank you.My pack up crew, those that were slaving away on the beach till the very end, it seems to be the same crew every year, I know who you are and it means the world to me. Thank you.Big thanks to our Media guys and girls especially Player 1. You have a huge task ahead of you. Captured Film & Photography, Hood Imagery & Scout Ariel Media thanks again for you enormous effort.I’m off to Havasu next week to start my promotional campaign for RNR7 and hope to continue this wild ride with you all next year.
