Well things have been ultra hectic at school so have had no real time to update the page ... not that anyone will notice but I did sort of promise myself ...
So the short version is, no surf time at all, North Coast was epic for a couple of weekends but with the Crash Tackle World Cup and fetching Khally and Keshia from Uni I didn't make it!!!
Officially I am now the Crash Tackle official WORLD CHAMPION which is odd but true. The day went well and my All Black team saw off all comers ....
Cyberboard wise had some good matches with Bevan ... managing to win 23-0 in the latest which is cool, my first 4 Nations match against Chris from Aussie land went well but now I face Marco with his unbeaten Italians ... will keep you informed!

Big waves and big games - but no time!
Sorry - bit of a delay in posting stuff lately. Missed the biggest waves at Broadstairs for many season the other day! There was a tidal surge down the east coast which was smaller than was predicted but threw up some BIG but offshore waves - unfortunately was at the Games Fest II event showing off Crash Tackle. The event was hampered by the 10 quid entry fee but we had a good time showing off the game and a good game against an Ozzie was had.
Furthermore Shaun and I have made a footy version which is playing great ... more of that later!
Cyberboard wise - if the game was real then the crowd would be going wild as Bevan and I are going end to end to try and finish the game off! Dirty play abounds and he just stopped me short of the line as a failed lineout was recouped by some creative holding in the lineout but then saw me fail to ruck the ball - he quickly scooped it out and hoofed it downfield where the chase is on!
Meanwhile on the other side of he cyberworld my game with Chris saw me score to much sledging on both sides!
If only we could get HG and Roy to do the commentary!

Games on TV and the laptop!
Well sitting here after two nights of parent's evenings at school relaxing with a glass of wine, two cyberboard games and Sale versus Montpelier on the TV - life could be better, for instance Keshia has been to Newquay surfing today, but would be hard if it didn't involve surfing!
Sale looked pretty awesome to be honest - Cheval was like a man possesed, Cueto was on fire and Sheridan was policing the front row.
Cyberboard wise - my game against Bevan saw me pushing forward with the maul, it pushed forward sucking in his defence then released the ball across the backs for a big overlap. Bevan covered but with lots of holes - I was one pass away from the winger scoring when I failed the pass role. With only 2 moves left it could have been the try to level the scores but it was not to be.
In the game with Chris my burst down the wing was desperately covered by a dirty tackle, missed by all the officials he hoofed the ball out. My hooker screwed up and the aussies stole the lineout and then attacked the right side - desperate tackling might save me, but might not - we'll see!

Lots of games ... no surf
Well no surf for me this week, but lots of games of Crash Tackle both in real life and online!
Started a 4 nations match with Chris from Oz land and still battling away with Bevan in an end to end second half where he just cleared from his try line, mainly because my winger failed to drop on the ball !!! Testing his new kicking rules which are a big improvement which is saying something.
In real life though I had a disasterous game against Shaun last night in our 'club campaign' - 28 to ZIP. I don't think Shaun failed more than 2 rolls the entire game where as I made very few - it was one of those 'England' moments, every promising attack suddenly went pair shaped and saw his centre or winger throwing break away after break away cards to scamper down the field. Nearly put the game on Ebay :-)

Back to work blues
Well back to work unfortunately ... but still.
Failed to score on the run down the touch as the winger was dragged into touch - dodgy Australian line judge I think !
More later .....

Missed a few days due to being away I am afraid. Went up to see a friend 'up north' and managed to get in a Crash Tackle game at Shire Games on Thursday night where England managed to win back the world cup :-)
Got a couple of copies of the game for the world cup day next month.
My game with Bevan is poised with me 14-7 down with half time looming but my winger on a big break down the sideline desperate to even it all to go in with at the half.
New kicking rules from Marco seem good and will have to try and get a game.
Went sufing at Watergate Bay today - very very big surf and was a real affair getting out the swell was running very strong. Keshia got on with her new board a lot better today which was good ... anyway off to have a game :-)
