ben says:

for about four and a half years, with a four month break for my bad knee

Ben says:

what happened there

ben says:

I tore my patella tendon from a fall, and kept riding after it happened, so when i got it checked out 2 years later,the doctor said i have to give it a break for 4 months

Ben says:

man that sucks

ben says:

yeah it killed me

Ben says:

so you have been coming over to the east coast a fair bit lately, what events have you been riding in?

ben says:

the last two have been the australian junior pro tour in Brisbane, and the supra grom stop in Nowra

Ben says:

I placed 2nd to LM team rider Ryleigh Pfitzner in the pro tour stop, and got 5th in the pro 15-19's at the supra grom stop

Ben says:

so where do you ride mostly back home in Perth

ben says:

Bonney's ski park! been riding there for 3 years. It's the best

Ben says:

always flat conditions i hear

ben says:

yes! always a lake where you can go to hide from the wind

Ben says:

who do you ride with

ben says:

Cory Peach used to ride with me every time which was awesome! But Marcey Wellstead comes out most of the time, and the wickliffe boys!

Ben says:

No, but we should be making one soon!

Ben says:

Ben says:

so i see you wear your fringe out under your flat peak, is that what the cool kids are doing these days

ben says:

I'm not to sure, but thats what i have been doing for a while, and it feels unnatural with it in my hat

Ben says:

i like the facials in your method photo, do you work on those looks in the mirror

ben says:

hahaha, yeah i am known to pull the most extreme facials out! and i'm not sure if you can actually practice those ones

Ben says:

ben says:

we have a West Oz wakeboarding slider comp at the ditch in Waroona on the 29th of December.  So that should be some fun!
