Cool - welcome to the site.
We will be doing regular sunday skates throughout the summer - 1pm at the waterfront and often do a hill or two around town.

poo!

aucklanders rulz!

.. he's a jafa now, going through withdrawal and denial ;)

Any of you guys riding Thursday or Friday? I am from British Columbia, Canada and have been backpacking through NZ for the last 6 weeks and am going through serious DH Skate withdrawl. Jestah claimed to me that Wellington had the best hills in NZ. If anyone is free to show me in the next couple of days while I am here e-mail me at achang250@hotmail.com

i could do thursday night about 9pm - will try and get something sorted..

What's your number? I am staying at the YHA but I don't have a cell so I will need to call you.

Got a spare lid and board? I only brought a pair of slide gloves.

I will see if we can get a driver - can you drive? Then we could share gear...

I only have one DH board but seeing as you're canadian you can bomb on a vangaurd with paris trucks eh? Hah, i could put maybe do a stiffer S9 deck with paris for ya.

I'll post up an event and see if I can borrow you something proper ;-)

Rad thanks dude. I will give you a shout tomorrow.

I normally drive an automatic so driving manual might be a problem as I haven't had much experience. Also, I am sure I can get used to that whole driving on the otherside thing.

I trully am missing my DH boards with Smokies but at this point I will ride a 2X4 with randalls if thats what it takes.

sounds like a solid plan and i can lend my skillz as a driver, cause you just cant trust public transport these days. if there could be another driver would be rad too.
Got the evo set up with randal DH and Purple orangatangs. trucks are not wedged so the rear is almost at a impossable angle. might get you both to check it first, if that fails will have to go dervish......

Put your randal 50deg plate at the back!

dh plate on the front, rII plate on the back. I rode that set up for years with some Jimz Speed bushings and it was awesome (until i bent my rII hanger).

cheers for the tips. will do that now so there is a spare board. dot think il be up for a bomb tonight. got a cold and all the snot in my brain is pushing my eyeballs out.

Cheers CHANG, had a few awesome runs. Will have to hit up wadestown again some time.

if you come to wadestown, hit us up (me and ant) and well come ride with you!

we skated down the main rd from wadestown to thorndon - will have to see you on some milder hills before that one! SO much fun.
Lennel rd and down to grant st - still keen?

Thanks guys for the board, the lift, and the tour of Wellington's fine hills. That last one with the hairpin in particular was sick. If any of you guys are ever in good old BC and find yourself on the Island look me up for a skate (facebook contact: achang250@hotmail.com, or Coastlongboarding.com).
