Whoosh!! as the wind brushes past my brand new EVS vortex helmet. Neeee! Neeee! As my KX 85 blasts through a straight, long paddock at 125 kms an hour. Dad and I have a race through the paddock, But Dad easily wastes me, because, when he was younger he used to race all the time and he used to win, Plus I have 23 horse power and he has 54 horse power! Dad is riding his big KTM 525 and I'm riding my KX 85. We are at the Apiti trial ride and we are flying! We approach a big hill section. I think to myself this is my favorite part of each trial ride. I start off about 30 meters from the hill, click her in to first gear, pull in the clutch.....

Cole- Sam Strahan

Rip 1!... rip 2!.... rip 3!....  rip 4!.... rip 5! 5th and final rip!.......rip turn over! yes I whisper. 2  Poppy shouts Brendon races up to Poppy and she pops it over to him. We all run in an angled line behind  Brendon, he makes it through the first few people but then he gets ripped he passes it straight to Tom. He gets into trouble and passes it to me, I side step two people then get ripped. I flick it off to Jamie and she scores a try. Kiwitea start off and my defence instinct kicks in. Olivia sprints with the ball in her right hand and I jump forward and rip her then she passes it to some one else and I rip them straight away. The ball ends up in someone elses hands and i rip them instantly. My group goes in for the next three rips and its our turn over. tom rushes in gets the ball and scores a try. The hooter sounds and the game is over. we won!

Camp recount 2013

Kapiti ... A beautiful place. Birds chirping, trees rustling, ocean colliding with the rocky shore. Every thing so peaceful.... Brum!! as the two outboard engines start up. The skipper sprays us with sea water.
We make our way to the lodge and set up our portable houses(tents). We have the largest tent. Our ten is full of boys. There is Tom, Zahn, Huntah and I.
Swimming time! "Yea!" every one yells. I race into our tent and jump into some togs. We arrive at the sea. I hop into the freezing water, dunk my head under and explore.
Wow! I see a big school of fish floating past, paua blending in with the pink rocks, sea weed waving around and Tom's legs dangling from underneath a log. I lift up my head to hear Tom shouting, "Come on maties! Let's conker New Zealand. Get on your logs and sail away with me!"
After 5 minutes of him screaming I give in and join him.
"Oh noooo!" Tom shouts, "I'm sinking!"
He doggie paddled over to my boat. He sat on the front and the nose began to go under.
"Nooo!" he screamed. "Abandon ship!"
We are forced to swim back to shore. This camp is awesome!

Cole trial ride 25.2.12

Move it i say quietly in my helmet, as some kid on CRF 100 stops randomly on the steepest hill of the ride.After about 2 minutes he starts moving again. I pass him as soon as we get to the bottom of the hill. Dad is right by my side doing a massive wheelie to show off. We hit this gnarly bit where all the quads stalled and didnt make it up, Neither did some of the younger kids. Ill describe the scene. It had a massive dip then an almost 90.c turn on the side of a steep hill.I Gun it as soon as i hit the dip and just make it up. We travel on.. Until we hit this rut section and a dude trys to cut in front me but falls over!I clip his wheel and almost fall over myself!

Cole Napier skate park 23.10.12


Swoosh!! “Woho! A full 360!" 
Whoops! I end up with a face full of foam. I drag my self out of the endless pit of foam. Bang! My feet collide with the ground. I slowly crawl my way up the steep ramp. Now I'm rushing down at a million miles an hour! (That translated into Kilometres is one million six hundred and 1 thousand Kilometres an hour!) 
I leave the ground the moment I hit the tip of the ramp. I aim to get a double tail whip…. And I succeed! Then I decide to try something new. I zoom down the ramp at full speed then I soar through the cold air. This is where the trick comes in. I leave the scooter in mid air but I spin 360 degrees. I desperately try to grasp at my scooter but I failed. 
“Cole!" Dad shouts.
 “Yeah”, I reply.
 “Time to go!"
 “Nooooooo! "
