Girl Demo






I checked out the Girl demo at Manukau park on Friday afternoon and took a few photos for you all to check out. This was the best demo I have been to for a long time, I totally felt like a 10 year old kid again seeing legends like Eric Koston, Rick Mc Crank, Brian Anderson, Rick Howard, Mike Carroll and more rolling around. Newer dudes like Alex Olsen, Cory Kennedy, Brandon Biebel and Sean Malto tore the park up too. Plenty of killer tricks went down, most of the dudes seemed really down to earth, signed kids stuff and were down for a post demo chat. I even had a decent talk with (and got a photo with) Brian Anderson (I have finally come to terms with him not riding for Toy Machine).
Fanboys rejoice!

EPIC



I went and checked out the US band Isis last night with my good mate Pepe (extraordinaire guitar player and bike skidder). Isis were totally killer (as were NZ supporting band Jakob) and put on a hell of a show. It was the second time I've seen them play and they didn't disappoint.

I even scored a pretty epic print (104/180) from one of my favourite artists Aaron Horkey for the ridiculous price of just $15!! Click on image to enlarge for detail.
EPIC night!!

Pfanner Footy!




The fourth part of the Fridays footage is up on antihero. Stand outs for me were the 360 out of the wedge and the monster double set kicky! So good!

A spot I've been going to for years is this simple concrete block outside the gym at the uni on Symmonds Street in the city. Slides/grinds with a decent undercover runup or landing depending which way you hit it. Good times! There is also other ledges, stairs and benches here to skate so check it out!
Score 6.5/10



Khyber CS / CJ13 COLLAB as bro!!



Thanks to Josh at CS for the COLLAB!!!
I'll let Josh do the caption for this one-

Yo I went skating with Simon from C.J the other night had an awesome time just skated around Newmarket and the bottom of town.
We went to this spot 1st at Boston road train station, just out side of the prison its a pretty fun spot with a bank that goes for ages and gets bigger and bigger you can do heaps of lines its a sweet muck around spot and is sweet to film some lines if you want. The only down side is that your board can fall down on to the train tracks but all in all I give it a 6.5 out of 10.3.
Look out for more collabs!!

colabo as bro !!!!

Situated on 37 Union Street is this stone three stair set that you can skate as a multi leveled ledge. It grinds and slides well and is usually pretty quiet on Saturday evenings and Sundays. Thanks to James for the Photo- emailed from the spot via iPhone- flash eh!!
Score 5.5 / 10

The new vid from 'yougottagetthat' looks like it could be fairly decent- check out the trailer at http://www.yougottagetthat.com/

Thanks to Hamish for sending in this small set of stairs at 5 Owens Road in Newmarket (next to a bank that I put up last year). Fun little set to warm up on or learn your latest flip trick.
Score 3/10


Pretty damm excited about this- will be killa seeing Koston, Anderson (loved the Toy machine era BA), McCrank, Carroll and McCrank in particular!
CRAILTAP!!
