Fuck yeah!!

Don't know about you but I'm totally feelin the new vicki park design- building starts soon as I believe.

Get off your ass and do something

Some skaters in the Point Chev area are doing something about the lack of a skatepark in their area instead of just wingeing about it. Get behind them and sign their petition here

So.... its been a while.

Wow, it's been so long since anything has been posted here. The last few months have been hella crazy for me: getting married, a trip to Paris and Kuala Lumpur and getting a new job! Shit's been wild! If you win lotto I highly suggest flying you and your mates over to Kuala Lumpur for a skate mission! So many marble plazas over there!!
The weather has definitely changed in the last week or so for the worse so get building those grind boxes and jump ramps, shove them in the back of the station wagon and hit some dry spots! Rain is no excuse not to skate!
Here's a fun little spot to hit in Onehunga. Its a small mellow bank outside a school that could be quite fun if you pile on the wax at the top. You could even jam a wooden pallet on top to make a vert wall ride! Its on Arthur Street outside Onehunga Primary School field. Just turn left on the roundabout next to Dick Smith on the main Onehunga Road.
Score: 2.5 /5

Pfanner and TNT and AVE!!!! HOLY CRAP!!!

Museum.

I still haven't got my ass to this spot but regular contributor Jacob sent these pics in of the famous museum ledges. This looks like a fun spot to get some lines going. Check it out! Thanks Jacob!

Ruru huhu

Bang it down Ruru Street (off New North Road) and you'll find this sweet bank with concrete curbs on top to hit. Def a weekend spot- Score 4/10

Pretty cool little thing on the legend that is Heath on the Emerica site (click the pic):

Marble Madness

If you can tear yourself away from the new Aotea Square ledges, benches and stairs head south to this spot CJ13's favorite southsider Jacob sent in. It's pretty epic! Marble stairs, ledges and manny pads and even a water obstacle can be found here. It's in Papakura on the Elliot, Broadway and Great South Road junction next to the center clock tower thing. Peep the pics then hit it up outside of work hours!
Enjoy! 6.5/10

Back in June, Julian Collender, a 25-year-old skater from Brea, CA, was shot and killed by local police in front of his home. Despite being unarmed and with no prior record, he was shot with a military-grade assault rifle after being surrounded by police as he returned to his home. Read more about the incident at the site dedicated to Justice For Julian.

It's official

One of skateboardings all time greats (I mean that 100%) Heath Kirchart is officially retiring from skateboarding. Like his whole carreer he has done this with style- leaving at the top of his game- not milking the industry or culture for a single thing. His small part in stay gold will sadly be his last video part. Check out his interview in the latest Thrasher for confirmation (never believe what you read on the interweb :-).
We will miss you Heath.
