Same here, i got my last exam on monday.

I don't know who their using for the shipping but i remember when i got a shipping quote from UPS it said 5-7 days, so i think that is a fair estimate.

someone tell me if the're ordering from anywhere that sells revenge trucks that I could tack on to the order. I need a pair, but the shipping for them is a killer. Obviously I'd pay for them and a cut of the shipping.

Hello there, i'm nat.

The fella who is going to be skating across NZ in January.

I think i posted on here way back on about page 6 but I just thought i'd say hello again.

Thanks to all of you who have joined the mailing list, we will keep you in he loop we promise. Of course the website will be updated as often as possible with beautiful picture and witty blogs.

I am getting pretty damn excited about the whole adventure. If you don't know, I am a primary school teacher in england and I have been given 3 months off to do this journey.
Adam is even more excited than I am! I've been putting in some serious training doing about 20 miles a day. The clocks changed last week so I am eating lots of carrots to see in the dark.

The is so much news i want to tell you about, sponsors that want to be involved, film crews etc. But basically we are doing this trip for 2 reasons. To raise money for the two charities and to have a journey which we will remember for the rest of our lives.

So, if you can help out in any way. get in contact. Seriously, anyway at all. Just email me.
nat@skatenewzealand.

love and kisses

nat

Some time in the next month or 2. I'd like to have them before xmas.

I'm ok with doing it the other way around too. ie me order and someone else tack stuff on so we save on shipping, as long as there's enough stuff to bring the cost down.

kookyfish · 11-02-2007, 12:29 AM
