While we were out fishing in Moreton Bay in Queensland Australia. We noticed some splashing off in the distance.
So I flew my drone up to get a look at what it was and to my surprise it was a humpback whale and some dolphins playing in the water.
Then I found a mother and her calf just chilling in the water. It was a very special sight that’s for sure 
It was so cool to watch the calf swim alongside its mother. And it even did a spiral spin through the water.
Humpback whales are such a majestic creature!
Not long now until they start migrating north past Moreton island again, can’t wait to get out there and see if I can capture another amazing moment like this!

I shoot this footage on my DJI mini 2 drone.

This is the perfect snorkeing location that is just a 50 min boat ride from Brisbane city.
And it is a great escape for some exploring, fish sighting and the posibility of tetanus :)

On this adventure we came across the local wobbegong with his beautiful colours lying at the bottom of a shipwreck.
A stingray just swimming by, and even an octopus trying to camouflague itself amoungst the shipwreck and soft coral.

It was alot of fun diving down and swimming through the wrecks, was a good way to practise free diving!

Have you ever snorkeled a shipwreck before? Let me know in the comments.

So I had a Hard Drive die on me and it has been sitting in my cupboard for over 15 years and I finally had some money to get some data recovery done.

And on this HD was an edit from Right 2 Roll 3 that I hosted way back on 20th of August 2005.
The best Rollerbladers in Australia, gathered in Brisbane city.
To reclaim the streets.
One person will roll away with the most prestigious trophy in Australian rollerblading history....
And also the Right 2 Roll.....

Gavin Drumm ended up taking home the belt.

So many crazy tricks went down at this street comp!
I'm so glad I recovered this piece of history of the HD. As im sure most of these skaters don’t skate anymore so it will be great to watch back with fond memories when you could take a big stack and get right back up and try again haha those were the days.

We had lots of prizes from different sponsors and $700 cash up for grabs to the winner. Even had red bull come along and hand out drinks.
I hope you enjoy this piece of Australian rollerblading history 

Happy landings!

Julian Rocks is home to an abundant of underwater wildlife!

The boat left from Brunswick heads and was about a 15 minute boat ride out to the rock.
Once we arrived the first thing I saw was a leopard shark! These creatures sure are amazing!
Even though they are sharks they are very placid and do not attack unless provoked. there mouth is under their head and they had don’t have sharp teeth. They are lick puppy dogs of the ocean.

We also got to swim alongside a Hawksbill sea turtle and a couple of rays were cruising along the bottom.
We also came across the largest sea creature in the world.. The lions main jellyfish!.

I hope you enjoy the video!!

I would like to share with you a video I put together from our cage dive experience with great white sharks in New Zealand.
Earlier this year we had a family holiday over to New Zealand and offcourse the chance to cage dive with a white shark was a must!
We found ourselves at the bottom of the world! In a town called Bluff at the very bottom of New Zealand’s south island. This is where the adventure began.

Once on board the boat we made our way over the notorious Foveaux straight, leaving a burly trail in our path to lure in the king of the ocean.

Once we arrived at Motunui Island we dropped the anchored up, the cage was lowered, and we got into our full bodied wetsuit then it was time to jump into the freezing cold water to catch a glimpse of the oceans greatest predator… THE GREAT WHITE SHARK!

I hope you enjoy the video :)
Thanks for stopping by!

I was just going through some old video edits that I never finished and I finally found some time to finish off this video.

Right 2 Roll number 2 went down in 2004

Right 2 Roll was a real street rollerblading competition I would hold every year in Brisbane Australia.
The best rollerbladers in Australia would come to Brisbane to claim the streets and battle it out.
One person would walk away victorious with the cash prize and infamous Right 2 Roll belt.

These comps sure did get CRAZY!

So many big tricks went down at this one. Starting the day off at a 8 stair down rail.
Which is situated along the Brisbane river. This rail was perfect to session.

Next spot is where things got a bit wild. started off with a 10 stair down ledge

Then a 14 stair drop ledge was the third spot.
This ledge was no joke. there is a 2 story drop on the other side so if you miss judge the ledge you have along fall down.
Luckily no one fell over the edge, but it did come close.
So many amazing tricks went down on this ledge. Some have been etched into Brisbane Rollerblading folklore.
When people started to spin to grind on this ledge that was when I had to call it and move onto the next spot be for someone got injured.

The fourth spot was a Brisbane classic street spot the Roma Street toilet block ledge.
This curve ledge is so much fun, but also a bit trick to master. Which made for a good session.
The only problem is that the landing goes straight onto a main road so we had people lining the footpath to catch the skaters so they didn’t get hit by a car.

The final spot was the dental kink.

This kink rail is so fast and steep. any grind on this rail could be an ender for your video section so why not see who has the best trick on it haha.

Another crazy session in the books here! And defiantly one of the best tricks in Brisbane went down on this rail which would have to be Justin Buchanan's rail to rail hop and then backed it up with a kind grind down the rail!! This session went down in the Brisbane history books!

In the end JB took home first place and no one was badly injured.

It is VC Clothing’s 25th anniversary and to celebrate I will finish off all the video edits from over the years so stay tuned for the next Right 2 Roll

I hope you enjoy the video!
Happy landings

I would like to share with you a video I put together from our day trip to Moreton Island in Brisbane Queensland Australia.

We are so lucky to have this beautiful paradise island on our doorstep!

Only a forty-five-minute boat ride from Brisbane until you are on the white sandy beaches of Brisbanes best kept secret.

Moreton Island is also home to the Ngaliema wrecks.

The Ngaliema wrecks is the final resting place for 15 vessels which have been deliberately sunk to create a break wall for the island.
But it is also such an amazing and unique place to snorkel!!

It is home to so many reef fish, and it's so cool to snorkel among the rusting wrecks surrounded by fish.

Just try not to touch the ships as the rusty metal cuts you very easy.

This was my sons first time to Moreton, and he absolutely loves the beach!

We had such a great time with the family!

Also when your walking along the beach always keep an eye out for starfish along the shore line.

I hope you enjoy this video I put together with footage from my drone, dji action cam and phone.

And if you ever visit Brisbane Australia defiantly add Moreton Island to your list of places to visit.

Happy travels.

Here you can enjoy snorkeling or scuba diving at the reef and also sleeping under the stars on the Great Barrier Reef at the REEF SLEEP.

Reef World is located at Hardy Reef, 39 nautical miles from Airlie beach. And staying the night here is just amazing!

Once the day trip guests have left in the afternoon you have the entire place to the small group that is staying the night. So you can swim and snorkel to your hearts content.

All the food is prepared by an on board chef and I have to say the food is amazing! Its all inclusive so the beers were flowing after snorkeling was done for the day.

Snorkeling along the reef is one of my favorite things to do! The colours of the coral and so many fish species. You will even come across a green sea turtle or two while out snorkeling. Which is always fun to swim along side them.

It is coming to the end of the Humpback whale migration here on the east coast of Australia.
And while we were out fishing the other week we got front row tickets to this pod of whales playing in the bay!!

I have to say being in a small boat and these huge animals launching themself out of the water right infront of us was a bit intimidating. But WOW what a sight to see.

I hope you enjoy the video

I would like to share with you my first video edit that I have made with some footage I shot on my DJI mini 2 drone.
I have never edited drone footage before so this was a fun project.

While I was visiting Stradbroke Island in Queensland Australia, it was the middle of the humpback whale migration so I was super excited to capture some footage with my drone.

We found a nice spot at Point Lookout at the North Gorge to see if any whales would come close to shore, as we could see lots of whales breaching and playing in the distance.

After an hour of waiting, I spotted a whale coming close to shore. I launched my drone up with the quickness and to my suprise the whale had a baby calf with her.

This calf was still a bit white so it must have been born in the last couple of days. Humpback whlaes start off very light in colour then they get dark as the grow older. So I'm not sure if this was one of those rare white whales or if it was a fresh new born calf.

I followed them for a bit then someone else flew thier drone out and was being pretty reckless with thier flying so I decided I got enough clips and brought my drone back.

I sent the drone back up to get some landscape shots of the North Gorge, and also found a pod of dolphins playing. Also a turtle and a mantaray.
Man Stradbroke Island is amazing!!

Now that I had captured all these shots I finally had time to go through it all and put together this edit.

I cut up some panning shots and and there is no audio on my drone so I found a sound effect of a whale breathing when it surfaced and cut that into the edit. I think it worked pretty cool :)

I hope you like the video, I'm still learning so let me know any improvements I can make for future edits.

We recently had the opportunity to spend 5 nights at one of our bucket list destinations.... THE MALDIVES!!
So join me as I take a relaxing early morning walk around the island.
Starting from our over water villa, and make my way around the island via the beach then back to our villa.
On the way I spot some baby sharks in the water shallows, and pick up a hermit crab to say good morning to.

Brennia Kottefaru is a lil slice of paradise with turquoise water and white sandy beaches.
Stay tuned for some more blogs coming soon from our time on this amazing island!

So while we were on a stop over in Abu Dhabi for a day flying from Jordan back to Australia, we tried to work out what to do.
We found this place called Ferrari World. Not only does this place have the world's fastest roller coaster and the world's largest roller coaster loop. But you can also take out a California T Ferrari for a spin on the streets around Ferrari World.

I have always wanted to try out a sports car and see how similar the power is to my motorbike.
So having a go at test driving this 3.9L, twin turbo V8 with 0 - 100 km/h in 3.6 sec this is going to be fun!

Check out the video I put together I hope you like it :)

Once we arrived to the Kaminoyama Onsen train station we found out that there is a free shuttle bus that leaves the train station that will take you up to the top of Mt Zao.

We Jumped onto the bus and headed to the top of mount Zao. As we started to get higher up the mountain we passed large lumps of ice on the side of the road. I was only wearing shirts and a tshirt haha I was didnt expect it to be cold out here as it has been so hot in Tokyo!

Once we got to the top of Mt Zao there was a ski lift to take us all the way to the top. Before we know it we are high above the clouds.

A short work and there it is... We are looking down on the Okama Crater. What a sight!
It was definitely worth the mission up here!

I hope you enjoy the video I have put together from our trip. Thanks for stopping by and happy travels :)

Ferrari World is a must when visiting Abu Dhabi. We had a one night layover from Jordan to Australia so we spent our time at this theme park. Not only does Ferrari World have the World's fastest roller coaster but it also has the world's largest roller coaster loop !! on a roller coaster called the Flying Aces.

And if roller coasters aren't your thing you can also hire out a California T Ferrari and take it out for a lap around the streets. It is so much fun!
I will upload a video of it in the next couple of days.

This is my first upload to 3speak so I am interested to see how it all goes. Hopefully I will not have any troubles uploading my videos like I have with Dtube in the past.

Stay tuned for more videos and happy travels!
