Nick Noel
The number of photos I shot of Nick Noel up in this tree is unreal. He was like an adorable little monkey throwing bananas at people, and all I wanted to do was keep snapping pictures. Anyway, here's my favorite one. No bananas are being thrown, but he's sharing his drink with everyone!

No day around Melbourne is complete without a trip to Mustard's Last Stand. We had to play it by the books on this one and show you guys how the locals eat. Small talk while waiting for your food is so 2009, everybody was lurking Instagram instead.

If there is a "#drunkmomsofinstagram" hashtag, this lady is in there. Between the sun and (I'm assuming) drinks, she did some awesome stuff for the camera.

We headed over to a DIY spot where we met up with Mat Call. Davin busted out a front blunt down the rail before Mat showed up.

Instead of walking back up, Davin decided to play it safe and front board back up the rail instead.

Nick took Mat's whip for a quick spin while he was out destroying a jersey barrier.

One of the last spots! After running out of energy and becoming extremely hungry, I was running short of ideas for shots and wanted to play it a little different… Here's Nick and Chris standing back, ready to hit the bump to rail.

Chris already knows how it's done and banged out this front salad like it was nothing.

Mat can wallride anything. He could wallride a horse if you put it in front of him. Count the bricks on this backside wallride!

Oddly enough, this front feeble photo of Nick and Mat's wallride ended up getting ran in the current issue of Focus. Check it out if you haven't!
