Jacko shot through an update with the latest from Canberra…
So recently I started up a plumbing apprenticeship so i’ve just been doing that whole thing for the last couple of weeks, it’s been pretty fun so far so im psyched on that. I haven’t been riding as much as I would like to be, but last Sunday a bit of the Backbone crew went out and filmed some stuff for the Backbone dvd. Ended up getting a couple of clips that were haunting me for a while, was good to get them out of the way haha. Other then that I’ve just been riding my local park and chilling.
Since Jacko got back from his travels around Europe he has been on the hunt for an apprenticeship along with riding a bunch with Jeff Bahr and filming for the Backbone DVD which I am sure will be awesome when it’s done. Jack also works most saturdays at Backbone so pop in and say hi!
Jacko is still galavanting around Europe, here is the latest…
“So after Germany we jumped on a bus for 10 hours to pin it into Poland to see some of Robs rellos… It was a brutal bus ride that’s for sure! Lucky we sorted our selves with some sleeping pills to knock us out! First stop was Warsaw for a night just to have a quick look around… Ended up seen some cool shit! Things are so cheap in Poland too! Very tempting place to buy stuff… After Warsaw we caught another bus to Lublin, which is a much smaller place then Warsaw and a lot less people speak English haha… Rob’s parents hooked us up with a hotel for the three nights we were there… It was called the Grand hotel… I’m guess I don’t need to explain that it was pimping haha… In Lublin Rob’s rellos took us to a concentration camp there so that was pretty interesting to see!
After Lublin we went to another place that I forget the name of but it’s where Rob’s grand parents live… It’s right on the boarder of Ukraine and when the war was on the Germans built all these places so they could sneak in and fuck people up haha, anyway me and Rob were just doing what young kids do… Like going down dark as fuck tunnels and shit like that and when we were about to leave two Ukraine boarder patrol dudes came and gave us the one, two about that we can’t be fucking around here so that was the end of that…
Then after seeing Robs grand parents we went to Krakow to go see Auschwitz! That was a crazy place! Now I’m just out the front of Macca’s in Paris… Did all the touristy shit and we’re about to pack up our bikes to bus it back to Hastings! BOOM SHAKALAKA!”
