Another 10 clips!

with Mike B! We met up and decided to cruise to Upland Road Park! Pretty fun lil park in Auckland.

Had some fun, and Mike clocked these few clips!

 

I’m gonna try and get 10 clips in the bag at Vic Park before I head in to my foot operation next month.

Yay. Not really.

Back home again…

Like Haimona said it’s been a long trip on the road with the NZ Vans team but it’s been an epic journey!

We drove from Auckland to Wellington and stopped off at quite a few spots along the way. All the boys were ripping so should hopefully be a good article!

Bowlarama was rad too so many more skaters this year just killing it!!

CHECK IT OUT!

 


On the road…

…Holy mackerel, just got home from being on the road for a very long week!

Was with Mike Bancroft and the rest of the Vans NZ team shooting some skating from Auckland to Wellington for Bowlarama. Sheesh! What a trip!

Seems like I have been away forever! Got a stack of great footage and Mike impressed me yet again by up taking his daily Dew intake to a staggering 6 cans a day. I kid you not, luckily the van was choker with boxes, plus we gave a few boxes away to locals in the towns we went to!

I need to go and sleep for a couple of days so you can see a lil bit of spoiler cam from our adventures here!


A DAY IN THE LIFE…

For those interested here’s a ‘Day in the Life’ clip of me being a fool, eating pizza and hanging out with mates….oh and there’s some skating in there too!
