So the rest of the world won by default.
Ahem mateys, I left this task and instructions to very capable hands as I need to get my pregnant wife home.I guess if you want something done right...... I'm with you on this one bogan. next well get you guys, no excuses.

Congrats to all the winners and contestants!! It was very cool to see you all again!

HEY ALL OF YOU.
The awards are taking place, I finish taking pictures of the winners, and EVERYONE IS GONE, ROTW INCLUDED.

I tried in vein to find a soul.

I say it was a forfeit by everyone! I stayed at that dust bowl for 1 hour after the event ended looking for people to race.

I was told the event was ready to go BY MAX, all I had to do was organize the peopl eafter the awards into the two teams... and there was no one there.

Feral, Max said it was organized... I just had to get the people together... so BLAME THE SOURCE OF THE BLAME.
How could I get beer or Cups or anything when I am covering an event???!

I take no fault. As soon as I could attempt to get the event organized everyone was gone. BUT I was also under the assumption that there was cups, beer and a table already.

Ahem MAteys.

The ROTW was still in waiting way after the event had finished and the prizes dished out.

Looks like we have it for the next 365 days.

But to appease the situation here is the first of the freestyle vids. I dont have them alland likely wont get them all up tonight either but I will try.

Chris Brislin first up.
