Converge

My all time favorite band CONVERGE played three shows here in Aotearoa in the weekend. I watched them destroy the Kings Arms on Friday night, then hopped on a plane to catch their Saturday night show at Bodaga Bar in Welli. The highlight of the Welli show for me was the super extended version of their epic Jane Doe song at the end of their set. So sick! I was fortunate enough to take their bassist Nate for a skate at the Wellington park then a push through the streets. Nate has a pretty sweet layback frontside rock and the loosest trucks this side of Boston!!
I hear the Sunday night show in Hams was pretty mean too.
Shows of the year...decade...ever!!

Point Chev School

Thanks to Matthew for sending in this spot (you're this months winner!! Well done and your prize will be in the mail soon). Point Chev school on Te Ra Road has some dope new wooden ledges built that are perfect for slides etc. There is even a small fun set of stairs. Keep to weekend sessions and PLEASE RESPECT THE SCHOOL. NO tagging, dropping rubbish etc. If teachers are there working let them do their stuff in peace and come back later. Look after your spots and they will be around longer for us all to enjoy. Score 5/10

This is an interesting ledge to small road gap on the corner of Ponsonby road and Anglesea Street. It has a smooth but kinda skinny run up and then a small ollie over a garden then drop to the road. Just don't get hit by a 2010 BMW.
Score 4/10

End of Sandringham Road

You will find this painted ledge/block along Sandringham Road Extension number 755 outside the community center (check this out too as there is a long set of three here too). Its a bit chunky but pretty fun for nose/tail slides etc.
Score 3.5/10
