Hey DukeofNZ I was out for an early skate today and run into a young guy on your board
I asked him in a round about way if he knew you , pointing in the direction of your house,
once he said ...oh duke,, I thought he must be legit and hadnt just scored your board.
It`d be good to catch up for a skate anytime, that includes anyone else too.

Hey there everyone!

Well I have been lurking around for quite some time and only just now rearing my ugly mug.

Hmm... I live in Dunedin and got into longboarding at the start of this year but only just got my first board a few weeks ago from Nacho - Flex 5 vanguard with RII 180's and pink zigs. I skate every single day with out fail and I love every minute of it. Startin ta get a few tricks down and I live on a savagely paved hill which sucks in the wet. Thought I might chuck myself on the fish to see if I can find more people to skate with other than my 2 fellow four wheeled friends.

ATTENTION WELLINGTON LOT



Can someone post this on the Need Not Ollie forum about a bomb on Brooklyn Rd tonight? ((Sunday 8th June))
My access is denied for some reason, I think my computers just bein a queer.

An if anyone wants to give Louie a text an tell him aswell, thatd be good too (my phone got nicked) His numbers on one of his posts on the Brooklyn hill discussion thing.
Ima go about 9ish, meet at the busstop if anyones keen.

And if anyone has a car aswell, thatd be terrific.

Um, I think thats all, who's down?



WELLINGTON DH THING

Default Re: The Kiwi Thread (and no, not the fruit)

So I was wondering, what are the roads of NZ like this time of year?

I haven't been to the north island much, and not since converting to Longboardism, which changes your perspective of a road entirely.

Down here it sucks at the moment. Flat sucks. The roads have been from very damp-running river constantly for the last month. Had two good days with which to enjoy the concrete, and I was working on one.

Well, what are your area's roads like?

find a multi level parking garage and your problem will be solved.
roads in auckland are sweet (except if it rains). they do get a little bit wet and take a little bit longer to dry if its been a cold night.

Sounds great!!

I've seen some pics of your trucks, very nice. If I have a bit of extra cash, I'd definitely get a set. But, I need a proper helmet and some new gloves first.

Great to see some kiwi's making stuff!!

glad you like them, you might see a set at Maryhills this year

Id say get the helmet first, that way you can ride a lot faster - safer and become an old fart like me

Inluvwithsara
that looks pretty good , like the grip too, Did you know theres a tribe in Indo that have very similar art designs as Maori, true.
