Richie Blake

Part of our enlightened Australian whanau, Richie loves Wellington (in fact almost prefers it to home town Brisbane, although I'm not sure we were supposed to print that!). A talented developer who loves seeing his work come to life, he is one of those lucky people who has turned a passion into a career.

Richie is one of the newer members of the ever-growing Springload Proud Parent’s Association. However even with Josh, his fresh new offspring, Richie still throws caution to the wind in the hacky circle - regularly putting his body on the line in the pursuit of glory and hack-legend status. Some might say he’s already achieved it, but he continues to hone his distinctive technique. It’s not pretty, perhaps not even safe, but it sure is effective. We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Richie’s signature move

The Dirty Poacher

Here it comes… this hack’s hyperbola has your name all over it. As you raise your foot you’re faintly aware of a rustle and a blur. What… the hacks gone! You’re left hanging. You look a little silly. Put your foot down.
