springbok tour 1981 supporter rugby side

Imagine if you came to a rugby game just wanting to watch a game of rugby when these protesters came to the game and slowed it down by chucking flour bombs onto the field.

That's why the protesters were protesting against the test matches. After the protesters couldn’t get their way passively they resulted in violence to get into the stadium.This is what south African journalist said about the test “BAD ENOUGH HAVING TO PLAY OFFICIALLY DESIGNATED NEW ZEALAND NATIVES, BUT SPECTACLE THOUSANDS EUROPEANS FRANTICALLY CHEERING ON BAND OF COLOURED MEN TO DEFEAT MEMBERS OF OWN RACE WAS TOO MUCH FOR SPRINGBOKS WHO FRANKLY DISGUSTED.”

temple basin ski camp

On Monday we went skiing at temple basin. For the car ride, I was in Jacks car with me and Renae. when we got to the mountain we were learning to do a pizza slice shape with our skies. my favorite part was the last day when I had the basics down and I could just ski. My least favorite thing was the ski boots they were so hard to walk in and they hurt your ankles. The hardest part for me was getting the pizza shape and turning.
