The jigger chop by dide

The jigger chop

We have had a lovely day today with family at Puhoi. Jesse has been chopping and this is his favourite event - the jigger chop. From left to right, the handicaps were 3 seconds, 25 seconds and 30 seconds. Jesse (on the right) had to wait 2 minutes and 28 seconds before he could start! Quinton beat him, but a second was pretty good considering the handicap difference.
They've got it set up very well! Now where is the hotel from here!

@maggiemae this is immediately in front of the hotel, so it's to the right. A great day with hundreds of spectators and much beer drank too I imagine as it was extremely hot!

Well done Jesse .. I called into Puhoi yesterday on my way up and they were busy setting up the tents and things...

Wow. I've learned a lot about this sport since I've been following you on 365 Dianne. Before I never knew it existed! You must be very proud of Jesse - he looks extremely fit. Great photo.

Fantastic action image full of movement, colour and detail Dianne, that handicap seems very harsh to me but still well done Jesse made his mum proud again:)

Wow, quite an effort with the others getting such a start on him. Well done Jesse. Wish I were half as fit as he must be.

I love to watch this -- super frenetic, quite violent, and yet all about a smooth action and grace. Well caught in this photo.
