Have any of you guys ever dyed any of your wheels or know what dye to use and where to buy it. Every one suggested Rit Dye but i dont think that it is available here. I had a look that the supermarket and they didnt have any thing.

Any help would be appreciated

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

hey hobo (don't mean that offensively)... liking the video... not often you see kiwi stuff on the web! about time.

lol, i've put together a short one too - just of me and a mate hitting up the 24 hour car park in town!



[edit: i apologise for the quality - it was filmed on my cell phone - and the music in the background - sorry about that too!]

oh, and for sure we'll be careful if we ride at your spots down there. i know its hard enough finding decent places to skate - let alone actually convincing the owner/staff that you're not trying to tear up the place!

come on kiwis - post more of your vids/pics!!

thanks for the hello kookyfish

my daughter is 14 and is really enjoying the longboarding, just starting to do some stepwork and developing her own style.


cool vid nocturnal.. a little hard to watch, your phone must have a massive memory for video. long too, but great to see what you experience on a skate

Boardriding Hobo is my other half.. we did the hillbillies vid together...

I've done some surfing vids too

Hey man, just off the top of my head a few places to ride are...

Summit Road (from Mt Pleasant to Evan's Pass)
Dyers Pass Road (the top section)
Major Aitken Drive (Broad Oaks/Huntsbury Hill)
Penruddocke Rise (Westmorland)
Basil Place (McCormicks Bay)

Basically just cruise round the hills one weekend and stick your nose up random streets you see... there's a few goodies to be found, but I can't remember them all by name...
