After a good clean of the house to prepare for the valentines day party we headed out for another night of skating! We headed up to Mt Albert Road for a couple test runs before the race and we had a head wind like no other, making the road painfully slow. After a couple other skate spots around wellington we headed home to get some sleep before the race.
After getting to bed at around 3am and waking up at 9am to prepare for the race i was a little upset to be woken up to lite rain and gale force winds! but did this stop us... no we headed to the race course! meeting a couple riders we started to do a couple heats but the head wind from the night before matured to nearly blowing riders off their boards. After a couple more runs the rain picked up so we called off the race. Heading back to the house the weather still was pretty crappy but sith the crip decided to take a different way and head up to the top of the wind turbine (which no one could see as it was covered with clouds). When we got up there we were stoked to find the roads were dry in enough spots to avoid them and continue skating! After an hour or so we headed out for lunch with everyone exhausted from the skate. On the way home we went down brooklyn where ash had the crazy wobbles heading into a fast dipping corner with heaps of traffic on the other side of the road! 9pm rolls around and the drinking begins with games of circle of death bringing the party to a nice state of inebriation. The rest is a blur.
11am arrives way too quickly! i wake up to find a couple people crashing on the couches and fail to find the airhorn to wake them (lucky for them). We all meet at the waitangi skatepark for a fun filled day of skating. After an hour or so skating a corner we do nearly every week the cops show up to blame us on a dent in a car. After realizing that none of us had caused it as the dent was way too big and no one was limping he let us off. We got in the car and headed up mount victoria for a day of bombing! I don't drive and walk up everyhill i plan on skating down it was a relief to have some fresh legs while i was coming down some steep hills. yet still even with the fresh legs a bail is not too far away as i head head first into an coming car as i miss judge a corner.
It was a great weekend and thanks to everyone that joined us! I hope you had as much fun as we did.
