The Blue Mountains Tour

Today I’ll tell you about my Blue Mountains tour I was on yesterday :) . I started my day going to the pick-up spot early in the morning where I met my tour mates and driver. After some time waiting for the “late runners” we began our one day journey towards Blue Mountains. Our group was very mixed; there were some Chinese, French, German, American and Irish folks on the tour. After about an hour we arrived at Blue Mountains, and our first stop was in a little parking lot (inside the Blue Mountains park) were we had to spot some kangaroos. After some minutes without luck Jason, our bus driver, decided that we were unlucky and we went on to our next stop. We got out of the bus and headed for a lookout post few meters away from where we stopped. Just when I stepped out on the platform all the trees that were blocking the view before were all out of sight, and I assure you that the look was stunning :P .

After that we headed down a little path into the forest. We stopped almost every 3-4 minutes where Jason had something to explain about the area, and I got to say, he was really good at explaining every single thing in such detail and with such humour. At a point we arrived next to a tree and he started explaning. While he was talking I leaned against the tree but then Jason went “look out, there’s a funnel web in the tree” and I got to tell you, I’ve recon that I’ve never moved that fast away from something hehe. After that he began explaning about the funnel web and how dangerous it is. Well after the funnel web facts he showed us some natural colours from some rocks just next to the “funnel web tree”, neat stuff :D .

After about an hour (and heaps of photos) we arrived back at the parking lot where we had lunch. After our lunch we took to another place in the Blue Mountains where you can see the so called 3 Sisters (which is 3 rock formations close to each other). After lots of photos and a good long Aboriginal story about the 3 Sisters we continued down the mountain.

After around 1000 steps we were told to divide in 2 groups: the people that had enough stairs for the day and the people that wanted to further explore down the steps. I went on the further exploring team while Jason was following the other group back to the bus. It was great fun, we basically did what we wanted because nobody was around, so we climbed some rocks and trees around the giant park xD. After our walk we arrived at a “lift” that went all the way up to the top of the mountain where we had to get on the bus. The “lift” was a metal wagon driving on rails and pulled up the mountain with a wire. The seats in the wagon were tilted over 45 degrees and there was a metal “fence” for roof, so it was quirt a laugh getting in LOL. Jason had told that it was the steepest rail road in the world, so I expected the worst hehe. When it started it was very slow on the first 15 meters (where the rails were flexing to get the same angle as the mountain), and all the time I was like “fuck, it’s getting steeper and steeper, how much more can it go?” After reaching the same angle as the mountain the wagon violently increased speed and we were flying up the mountain, it was really f**king awesome, such a laugh. After 30 seconds we had reached the top and it was time to get in the bus and head back home after a long day out.

Blue Mountains Panorama

Blue Mountains really was a great/fun experience, I’m really looking forward to my next tour (wherever it may be)!

Well it was all for now folks, see you next time ;)

Aftersnowing

Hey there folks, sorry for my absence these last days, there haven’t really been anything important to talk about at all (I’m studying as always) :S. Anyway, do you remember my last post where me and my friend went to this mountain and made the snowman? The video beneath was taken 4 days after we went up there in the snow. Well, we decided to up go there again to see if our snowman (el duca della cornia) was still alive, but unfortunately they had passed with the snowplow so there wasn’t a single trace of him left :( (R.I.P.). Anyway, while we were there we decided to take a little drive to see the great panorama :P .

In the video I decided to put in a song that no one knows, because I was getting so tired of WMG and their copyrights, hope you like it anyway. My first video without their copyrights was actually my last one (with the snowman xD). So this time when I began editing the video I dicided to take a song that no one knows xD, so I could make the video “fit” with the music without having to change it after due to copyrights, (having the video fitting with the music it makes the video a little more interesting hehe). Hope you like it.

Oh right, better tell you why I’m posting this video now and not 1 week ago. Well, to say it as it is, I simply forgot that I made the video, it was only yesterday when I was preparing for a new video that I saw it. So which video am I preparing for? Well, next sunday there will be a big offroad motorcycle race near where I live (and of cause I will be there :) ), can’t wait :P . Maybe I will even go out there and have a look saturday (at the preparations), but I don’t know yet, you’ll have to see for yourself hehe.

Until then see ya!

In the Snow Again! Oh Yeah ;P

In the past 3 days Italy has been covered by a snow storm that lasted for about 32 hours and gave about 50cm snow in the lowest parts :) , but today it’s slowly disappearing :( . Anyway me and my friend got out to a mountain near by (as always when it snows) to have so fun. We sure didn’t expect to find all that snow, so that was great :D .

Oh a little warning before watching the video: In the video me and my friend make a snowman, and it turns out so good so we decide to play a practical joke on him, attributing him with the males sexual organ, so if you are very delicate you can just jump part 2:15 – 2:24 of the film. With that said you can go watch the video :P

p.s. please tell me if the music was too hard for you hehe. In the beginning I had put Snow by Red Hot Chili Peppers, it was so great, but when I got it on YouTube, WMG deactivated the sound in the film, so I had to change the whole audio track. So now I have put Sonne by Rammstein (the instrumental one to make it less confusing when you read) ;) , hope you like it anyway :D .

p.p.s I have heard that in Spain things has gone totally bananas with the snow, some people even died there. So I want to express my sorrow for the loss of the people that has lost their life during this snowstorm (not only in Spain!).

With that said there is only one thing left to say….
See ya ;)

World Champion on the Mountains

Hey there Max here, I’m just up with a new video now :P . Well, me and my friend decided to wait a little with our motorbike introduction video because my bike has had a piston change recently, (a piston is an essential part for getting the motor running, if you didn’t knew) :D . So normally after changing a piston you don’t have to force your motor, so I’m driving very slow these days hehe ;) . Anyway we just went on a little walk in the mountains following a new road that we saw last time we were passing by. So in the video we are just having fun discovering the new road, and then on our way back we had some fun with the car too muhaha ;) .

Hehe, maybe I owe you an explanation on why we are so fixed on the “World Champion” word hehe :D . Well, it started out in our school class and now a lot of people in our school are just walking around saying it all the time hehe, so that’s why lol ;D. And the “hej gamle” thing is a long story, so maybe I will explain it in a future video, who knows, maybe I will, maybe I wont, it all depends on the requests I get hahaha :D .

I’m thinking about making another video with the pictures my friend took on our World Championized trip up the mountain, so the next video could easy be some pictures from our walk. Another thing, I think I got a little carried away at the end with Left 4 Dead thing hehe, so I want to apologise if you got scared hahaha. That should be all for now, I’m almost convinced about making the picture video clip from our trip, if so I will be back in a day or less.

p.s. I just found out that I missed the KTM national enduro trophy that was held were I normally ride with my friend. I remember last year when they held the national enduro championship it was great, and I had a lot of fun there, the KTM trophy would have been even better, so sad :’( :( :’(.

p.p.s. Hope you can see the video, because I have put songs from the Black Eyed Peas in the video, and they were (of cause) owned by WMG :( , fortunately the video can be seen, but it said that the video could get it’s audio track deleted if the copyright changed, so let’s hope it don’t change!

Until next time, see ya!
