SLIP n SLIDE WRAP-UP

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Well Ladies and Gentlemen, that would have to be the most successful inaugural Jimi Ninja event ever. I haven’t had some much fun, nor walked up a steep ass hill that many times, in forever.

With the full Slide coming in at over 100 metres, I’m still claiming NZ’s largest. But the sheer steepness of it actually did set my heart racing as I went from the very top for the first time.
Now, it wasn’t all sprinkles and rainbows the from the start. As the guinea pig, I now have an amazingly red raw, scratched back that looks like I stole a loaf of bread in 1045 and got me a whipping. But once the slide was positioned properly, it WAS all fun and games.

What I was most amazed about was the support from the surrounding community that walked by. Most of whom went home, got their swimming costumes and came back with the kids for a slide. With about 50 people sliding from the ages of 3 to 53, that total number of Slides exceeded all my expectations.

The Slide cost a bunch of money, but that was all good for the amount of collective fun that people had. And the fact now remains that I own NZ’s longest Slip n Slide and we can pull it out again any goddam time we like.

All this ranting means nothing compared to the pictures, so take a look.

Oh, and also, if you’re on facebook, then become a fan.

Cheers,

Jimi Ninja

(Ahhhhhh, since I can’t seem to make the SimpleViewer Gallery work, just go to The Jimi Ninja Events Facebook Page to see the pics for the moment)

GENIUS OR MADNESS?

Saturday, January 31st, 2009

Now this is one of the 26 blogs on the internet not dedicated to reposting the same photos and videos over and over again. It’s an outlet for the musings of Jimi Ninja Industries and our fun goings on…

BUT, I can’t help myself with this one, it will be the first and last time though.

Whilst browsing through “The Hall Of Douchebags” at Rock & Roll Confidential I found this…

Genius?

Genius? Or Madness?

I’m leaning towards Genius simply due to the shear madness of it.

The cost of this event to you???
The usual, a measly $10.
The difference this time is that instead of paying on the day, I need the money in advance. So please email me for direct deposit details.

DUE TO THE COSTS, THIS EVENT WILL NOT GO AHEAD UNLESS MONEY IS RECEIVED IN ADVANCE.

So please pay your entry early.
No payment, no riding the Super Slide Of Glory.

This is an invite only event. This means YOU need to INVITE all your friends.
