Hey everyone and thanks for taking a look at yet another story I have to tell. The origins of this story are not fully known but what we do know, the past couple of weeks have proven themselves to be quite a good time and many more times to be had. I speak of none-other than my few days I've spent over at Adam's (5th Pinned's) place up here in Sunny Sunny Brisbane.

Introducing... Adam and his nice YZ250 03"

You'll never guess who came out to have a look at Adam's setup... WITH HIS BIKE!!! The man himself, Rory Grinrod, rider at X-Rated comp who you may have heard had a big accident only 7 weeks ago where he stuffed his neck up. He's had to have surgery and a tracheody in his neck to allow him to breathe (A hole in his neck like u see in movies). The guy has had to deal with some harsh stuff but he's back at it. He still had the thing in his neck so not allowed to jump but he did ride around and had a whale of a time. Almost brought a tear to my eye to see him ride again :)

The Snitz
31st May 2004, 09:31 PM
And... For anyone that cares (I know noone would lol) But.... I got back on a bike for the first time in 6 weeks!!! This was very hard to do one handed, and it took me 30 mins to figure out a system to get it started, but once I did, I had Adam's bike smokin the place out in first gear :D WOOO hahaha. I was too scared to go too fast or it would have been Reconstruction time all over on my shoulder and thats the last thing I need. I was just so bloody happy to ride again, although it was absolute torture watching the guys jumping!

The Snitz
31st May 2004, 09:33 PM
Oh, notice I have to ride with my left hand on the throttle too.. makes turning and controlling the bike that much harder! trust me kiddies, Don't screw up lol!

Anyway, here's Adam getting into the groove, coming back from his Catwalks ;)

The Snitz
31st May 2004, 09:35 PM
Here he is getting into the Cordova's . he's not too far off them :D

Did anyone say this kid couldn't whip? 3 days and a few little tips I gave Adam, he goes out and pulls this absolute monstor out!! He only got the one big one and almost shat his new Fox pants, but I think you will all agree this is Awesome by anyone's standards ;)

The Snitz
31st May 2004, 09:46 PM
Hell... why not without your hands on the bars... Remember though, Always 2 hands for beginners ;) lol

Here's a Seat Grab that I very badly mistimed on poor ole Adam... He had them out fairly big and should have them down very soon no doubt :D Keep it up mate

The Snitz
31st May 2004, 09:58 PM
Adam looking at the pics I had taken.. so disappointed he bowed his head in shame. I'm sorry mate, i'm not a photographer, i'm a rider LOL

Oh, once again for anyone who cares, notice my right arm there, that's how much movement I have in it after the reconstruction. I've been doin 6 hours of my own physio on it everyday and hoping to Freestyle again in the next few months instead of the expected 12 months. It hurts like buggery to get it there and I'm popping painkillers like their M & M's but dammit I'll get there :p

The Snitz
31st May 2004, 10:01 PM
Just leaving the ramp to whip it hard :afro:

The Snitz
31st May 2004, 10:04 PM
Finally.... Heelclickers, He couldn't get them off cos he's so damn unflexible, but he pushed it harder and harder and finally got them, this was a major feat within itself, so what did he do, double heelclicker aswell :D swish

The Snitz
31st May 2004, 10:07 PM
I always heard he was a bit of a cowboy and he was gettin ready to go Rodeo style on it ... hahaha no pics of rodeo though, but you can see him gettin ready with the grab in the middle of the bars :D

Shifty
31st May 2004, 10:07 PM
Wooooo, I love pictures. :D Nice work Adam and friends. That looks like a sweet ramp you guys have got there. Did you build it yourself or get it made? Whats it like to hit?

31st May 2004, 10:10 PM

The Snitz

Here's Sam and Adam, just getting started at 30 foot. It's an awesome setup, the jump is pretty much a step up and the downramp is huge!! Even Jayden and Richo think it's the best downramp they've hit, so Kudo's to Adam on a sweet setup getting the nod from Aussies best :D

The Snitz
31st May 2004, 10:24 PM
Sunset picture, I like it, he liked it... the kids like it... the whole fricken system likes it :D
I think he was checkin to see if he had shat his pants from bustin big all day, truly magnificent stuff... Adam's has been hitting the ramp for 6 weeks and he's at 70 foot already, you can't stop the kid ;)

Alrite, I think this is the last of the quality pics I have. Check the moon above his head, I feel it tops off a great pic of a nice little whip :).

Thanks to Adam for having everyone out there and to his mum and dad for putting up with us and even getting in on the show hehe. Good to see Rory back on his bike and Lisa and Kell both came out to watch aswell (Pic_taken_chick and bg_V)... Lets just hope Macca's will let us in next time we're hungry haha

Hehehe... well lets just say we didn't get all the pics of me ;)... Maybe we'll get some more pics from this weekend coming if I go back out there :p

Anyway hope you all like the pics, give me a cheery reply if you like them, or tell me to stop thwarting Adam's skill by posting meer amatuer footage of him lol :afro:

31st May 2004, 11:56 PM
Essay time... now boys and girls I am gonna tell you a story.... blah blah blah... ANYWAYS... ;)

Steve you crack me up LOL... hitting the throttle with your left hand. BTW Ladies and Gents he DID get some noice roostage and at the end of the day a bit of right handed throttle action, the grin on his face was priceless, as was the grounded heel clickers! (You show off :p) Let's not talk about other comments made shall we... *taps nose*

The grin on Rory's face was the same when he got back on the bike and then eventually hit the ramp... YES the cat is out of the bag and despite me beggin him not to be a dumb ass and havin one very pissed gf (sorry Kate) and me nearly passing out from holding my breath, Rory was loving getting back in the air at a gap of 30ft (I think, correct me if I'm wrong Adam) He even busted some very small moves (I would have killed him if he'd done bigger) and I believe Lis captured it on film but as usual because we are behind the times here in hicksville we have to wait for development b4 we can post em up.

Adam you rode awesome and you have it good where you are *two thumbs up* Don't move EVER... :D

I have to admit while I was there for pics I was um... a smidge jealous of you boys... standing there cam in hand wishin I could be roosting it up with ya... *sigh* oh well I guess being pillion and having Rowdy burl around will have to do for now. But NOT FOREVER.... [insert evil laugh] stay tuned boys and girls... ;)

Rowdy's HQ ute breakin down on the way home was funny and we even captured the moment (see moto chicks thread) with me jumping on the bike while stationary on the side of the highway. LMAO spose you had to be there.

Okies... Adam, champion thanks for having me I enjoyed my day, even the sunburn. I am thinking I'll be returning for more in the future. :D

awesome work guys sounds like you had an awesome time. Looks like adam is going off and looks like he will be stepping it up even more in the not to distant future.
Good to see the snitz back on two wheels even though i dont reackon i woulda been doin it if it was my shoulder and plus i dont reackon i could have handled it as well as that mate.
And who ever the other guy was throwing the turn down whips **** me he has got em down huge.
And snitz mate keep them pics coming mate amatuer stuff is awesome to watch to sit around with mate when your riding and watch them get faster and getting a new trick dialed in is awesome. Keep it up boys top stuff

1st June 2004, 01:57 PM
Well hello Kate and welcome to the forums :D... We all tried to stop him... maybe could have tried more but he was destined to jump none-the-less, but it was good he was fully under control and loved it :)

And thanks for all the replys of letting me know how silly I am for riding with a buggered shoulder :p... I aim to impress hehe, but yeah I was under control and knew what I was doing. The fact I got back on is a huge confidence builder for me and I hope to be back jumping in at least half the time the doctors expect. I'll be seeing my specialist next week and show him just how good I've been recovering and hopefully he'll agree I'm gonna be ready sooner than expected. :afro:

1st June 2004, 02:08 PM
Suck up Kell !!!!!!:p

He got seriously busted last night when he told me. He could of ended up with the tube in his lungs! I was not impressed. All is good!

He had to stay overnite at the hospital to get the trachy out and there was another mx'er in the opposite bed. He was doing track work, landed in a mud pit and went over the bars. He's got a coupla broken ribs and is a bit sore atm. Name is Luke and works at Noyes Motorcycles in Ipswich. Hope he gets better soon and is back on the bike. I left the hospital last nite to the two boys talking it up.

Rowdygirl
1st June 2004, 02:16 PM
Thanks for the welcome Snitz! You and Rory should both be shot for riding with injuries. But ur right it is a big part in getting better, u need the confidence to get back on and the sooner the better. I just wished Rory waited until after the tube came out! Oh well...boys will be boys!

Good to see you back on the back Steve. Sorry, I couldn't make it up there on Saturday...had to work to support Rory's bike habit. Just kidding.

Don't forget to how ur pics to the specialist so that he can se for himself ust how well you've been going! Ha Ha

Kate

The Snitz
1st June 2004, 02:37 PM
lol no i knew u were joking dirtcowboy :D, thanks for the comments thats what i meant, hehe, just keeps pushing me to keep trying to ride and heal quicker :)

Thanks Kate, We'll definetly catch up sooner or later now that Rory's back into the swing of things, and yeah I think I might have to show the specialist the riding, but then he'll probably turn around and pop my shoulder out just for being so stupid and not listening to him in the first place lol.

PMSL now i would pay to see that! welcome kate, bout time u got ur ass on here to burn kell, no fun doin it by myself :p
