Nat Halliday (England), Adam Colton (USA), Jestah (Big NZ) and Sheldon Lessard (USA) are teaming up for an epic skate journey from the top to the bottom of New Zealand. They are kicking off their ride on the 10th of January in Cape Reinga, and finishing up who knows when at East End. That is over 1500 Kilometers! I’m not exactly sure what their weapons of choice would be, but I’m sure its going to be some feather light set ups.

They have a blog, videos, a donation page and all the info at SkateNewZealand.com. Go check them out, a spare a few dimes for their great cause!

Why are they do all this? Glad you asked!

To raise money for Canteen. A New Zealand Organisation Supporting Young People Living With Cancer. “A cancer charity was always going to be part of SkateNewZealand. We have seen first hand the impact cancer has upon people and their families and are proud to support this worthwhile cause.”

I’ll be sure to follow their journey in this blog, I also hope to go for a bit of a cruise with them when they reach Wellington. Any kiwi’s reading this skate team is a nice bunch they wont bite so if they are coming round your way contact them and spread the stoke!

I thought I would post a few hot trick videos, all these are done by Adam Colton and friends. These the most unique and easy to follow videos you will be able to find on the net. Read the rest of this entry »

I just found this funky New Zealand Skateboard company. And since I’m all into promoting New Zealand and their companies, here’s a bit about them.

They were formed in the late 90″s. Started out on hacking up flat pigs then figured out moulds and pressing veneers. A decade later they can make any board your feet wish for. They are all about the rider and what they require ,hence the custom aspect. At present they have two standard boards on their website for sale but they can make what ever you desire and are all ways keen to step outside the square when it comes to designing and the engineering of sk8boards.

So if you ride bowls but find all the boards you can buy don’t suit you due to height or weight or whatever ,you can email them and they will be more than happy to design a board that suits you. All the boards that they make are hand made from pressing to shaping and the artwork. They take great pride in their boards and get a good buzz off others enjoying them!
