Well like all good things the majority of them come to an end and my time in Brazil was no exception to this rule. I am still not landing front mobes, kgb's or down loop 3's in fact even back loop transitions are a problem ;-) but I'll keep on plodding and I'll get there in the end... hopefully :-) However training was good and I picked up some great tips on the way from other PKRA riders and a random nice guy taking time out recovering from a broken rib.
The last week of the trip was by far the most fun and jam packed. My mum arrived without any problems and straight away I threw her in the deep end. I took her to the nearby lagoon Cauipe, hired her a buggy so she could follow us on downwinders to paracuru or trips to a further away lagoon called Taiba. We went rallying in the dunes dropping down vertical slopes or slashing the tops like wave sections. We went sandboarding and full speed crashing into water, clubbing in Fortaleza and hussling for good prices in local markets. Sleeping was definately over rated and we saved that for the flight back... or at least I did. I was literally beemed from Fortaleza to my house in Plymouth - certainly the best way to travel.
The highlight of the trip was hanging out with certain people including Steve, Steve, Frank and Neils from Holland, John and Charlie from the UK another John, Rich, Jamie and Aimee also from the UK and Pat, Kiki and Aurelie from France. Miss you guys sooooooooo much and I have only been home a day.
Hope to see you all again somewhere but before that Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you.
For now I am home for 3 weeks before heading to South Africa to continue my training ready for the PKRA 2007
