Skating up some Ruckas

One of our main spots to skate were the many hills and carparks offered in Victoria, only an hour away from camp. The crew would throw their boards in the boot of Mels Beamer and he’d boost us out in search of some hidden treasure ready to be ripped. After finding a couple of 5 to 6 storied jems that we wanted to skate down, the problem was dodging and dealing with security that would wait in unmarked or hidden cars in the carparks. We would sneak up the stairs after going around the backside of the parkade, making as little sound possible until we were all at the top. Bombing these carparks was so fun!! Carving round the curling bends and never ending slopes was a great sensation. 6 levels of smooth concrete met with a bunch of good mates laughing, yahooing and tearing down them, was killer times!! The security dudes however could obviously hear, if not see us and soon came to spoil our fun. We encountered several security guards all who were very unique individuals, with fairly soft standings that by playing a bit of the naïve New Zealand card we managed to get away unscathed. Ha. After exploring most of the carparks in the area we decided to mix things up and try something out there and new. Some of the things on the list were sketching anything we could get our hands on (Sketching: Skating behind while holding onto a moving object). This included things like cars, tour buses, kabuki cab bike rider dudes etc. This was rad! We had heaps of fun on our long boards checking out Victoria, skated a lot of places and caused a lot of harmless ruckas! Good times!
