come to the weekly skate at waikumete cemetary west auckland at 6 till whenever text Sam for how to get there and stuff 0210722531.

For you guys that are coming i think the best place to meet will be the main church thingy. its at the entrance thats off great north road, so if we all aim to be there at 6 thatd be good, and for any one whos getting the train try and get a train that ARRIVES at Glen Eden at about 5 30 but text me ahead if your doing so because i will meet you there and show you the way there. choice

The cemetary is a really alround place u can do dh but its best for sliding
there are heaps of places u can do slides at different speeds.

Last week was a really fun skate 5 people turned up hopefully more people will turn up this week its just pritty much a really fun place to skate.

Every week we will change the place of the skate. We will cycle between waikumete cemetary, Grey Lynn and Albany.

Give sam or me a heads up if u are coming

and we are planing to make a video

so come and get famous ;D

I'll be headed up to

I'll be headed up to auckland in a couple weeks hopefully i'll get to shred the gnar with everyone!

stoked!!

come to our skates!!

MEAN!!!

im always wanted to be disrespectful to those who have passed away. does anyone know anyone who has died there?

i think that people who see you guys are going to think that all skaters are a bunch of brats who only cause trouble.

"learn what it is you want, before you ask for it."
"To make humans, Old Man fashioned figures out of clay and breathed life into them."

so

so dogs toileting on graves is less disrespectful then us not touching them at all? the best places to skate arn't really that close to graves anyway

haha sad man

not really so many people use it for recration you get runners cyclistis pople waliknig their dogs and allsorts we even found a couple with a little bit of alone time happening ae sam :P

wtf dude?

its council property, its the same as skating on a road except its in a cemetary. what if your bombing a hill and somebody has had a crash there and died? and theres a little cross to remember them. its the same thing, i could be calling you disrepectfull but i wouldnt.

@tribalchea, hahaha you must have the meanest rep down in welly with the girls :P

:D

:D we had a girl come out the other day and we took her up to the biggest hill and told her to slide whenever she wanted to the way down. she made it all the way down and at the last slide face planted! :( oh well she's getting back into it so it's sweet!

no, your taking the fact

no, your taking the fact that its council property and taking it out of context. a cemetary is a place thats been designated for those who have died, from accidents, war, crime or any other thing. the thing with skating there is that your going to be sliding all on the roads, runners, cyclist or people goin through the cemetary arnt going to be screeching through there. if you were bombing and you never had to make a slide and could stop without any trouble then it would be better. but if your cycling or running or even just walking, let alone at the grave of a loved one; your not going to want to hear the screech of longboarders sliding down the road next to you, are you?? if you were at a place were there were absolutely no graves, then you would be ok. but i still believe that morally it is wrong as you disrespect the part of our heritage that is most important, our ancestors before us.

nice question...

If I was at a funeral and saw that it had a big hill in it i would expect nothing less than longboarders to take advantage of that hill. no cars! it's safe!

i see where your coming from

however when we are there we always avoid people who are at graves etc so not to distub them at we tend to be there later in the evening when again there are no poeple there really. We do respect it we dont just go diding round hey look some guy morining a dead frind lets go be dicks, bit of an over exagartion i no but we do have respect for that

dude

i get where your coming from but if you dont like it then dont come! its simple, were just spreading the stoke and having fun and mabye if you get off this trip your on and come and skate it and you can see first had that we go in the early evening just before the gates shut which minimizes the amount of people there and that if we do see people mourning that we arnt disrespectfull and do get of and walk. thats in the rare ocasion that somebody is there in the early evening, its fine that you have an opinion but id rather be skating on a near car-less road than on a road with many cars where there is a much bigger chance of my body being added to that cemetary, but skating at the cemetary is alot safer which is good for everbody!
and i have actually been stoped by a group of people and asked what im riding and to do that slide again.
end of discussion,your killing our buzz to skate and its not cool

also if

u don't want to skate at the cemetary u should come to the skates in albany and grey lynn we will be rotating where we skate every week so u should come to those ones
