SLAYER, MEGADETH and skatepark upgrades

First off, slayer and megadeth are coming to NZ, October 5th, I believe, for one show in Auckland! This is super, super sweet. Tickets go on sale Monday 10th August, make sure you get one!

In other news I've been hounding the council for the plans for the design upgrades for the Picton and Renwick skateparks. The guy that did Bromley designed it apparently, there is no specifications at all for it, at least as yet anyway. I'm trying to get them now.
I don't see why they didn't get someone on to it to re design the parks and build them also. In saying that though, at least there is signs of transitions.

One filthy ass gap

I'm all for gnarley gaps but this shit is insane, watch it to see how to unspoke your wheels in about .2 of a second.

Linwood

Went and rode one of the best skateparks in Christchurch, Linwood a while ago and snapped some pics. Lucky for us it wasnt crawling with heaps of ghetto kids trying to snake you with there rugby balls.

Some more pics of gap day

Heres the rest of the still shots from the day of gaps. Thanks to Griz with his fancy pants SLR camera for taking them. Most of these are sequence shots so I'll make up some sequences later, also making a small edit of the gaps to from the video cams.

180 gap from car park to street

The fire station gap as per previous post from the other angle

And Blenheim skatepark sucks so much so I jumped the fence and get the hell outta there

Fire Station gap

Ok Well on Saturday I had a bunch of gaps and shit I needed to get out of my head so we went out with a video and picture camera and started shooting. Here's the first pic of a gap into the firestation carpark. You can't see off this pic but it's a run up across the main road, quick hop up a foot path and then a quick hop off over a 2 metre or so garden and over the fence you can see into the carpark.

I'm getting the video footage and the rest of the pics/angles etc of the day and the other gaps that were hit and will get 'em up here soon..
