Hi Guys,

As a few of you have already heard we had a tragedy strike our group in the early hours of Saturday Morning.

A first time CannonBaller named Shaun Fitzpatrick was killed in a car crash at around 2.30am in the morning.

He was coming home from a night out and when turning at an intersection was "T-Boned" by a 15 year old in a stolen Subaru.

Our thoughts go out to Shaun's family as this is such a horrible thing to happen to such an awesome young person, I personally meet him on Friday afternoon to hand him his sticker pack and get his entry form.... We talked for around 10 minutes, he was super excited for his first run.

The Herald (as per usual) twisted the story to make it put a bit of a bad spin on the event which is a shame considering we are really about driver safety and vehicular fun, luckily the guys at TV3 where actually more interested in reporting the news and not selling papers, I have attached the video below.

Had we known on the day the details of what had happened we would have had a minutes silence for him, I'm hoping after seeing this video we all will have our own little minute for him.

Rest in peace Shaun.

Always the first Saturday of January...

Hey guys another year bites the dust, thanks to everyone for coming along it was such an awesome day even the weather couldn't stop us having a blast.

If your super keen to see some photos just jump onto our Facebook pages...

The rest of the Bulk Photos and Pro Photos from YouSnapped will be up in a few weeks.

With the massive amount of photos and videos to go through this year it might take us up to 3 weeks to work out who the overall "Big Baller" for this year is, but we will work non-stop until we have a winner for you.

A massive thanks to all of this years sponsors, please support them for supporting the scene....
