It’s 1.40 in the morning on the 5th of January as I sit in my front room typing this. Jestah has already headed North for Auckland form Wellington, Kari left her house and family yesterday to fly from Michigan, Adam is on his way to L.A .where he will hook up with Sheldon and head West and I will be in New Zealand in less than 2 days. So much has happened in the last Year; not just personally but also to do with SkateNewZealand; and it all begins in less than a week. Not that I am excited or anything...
I just wanted to make everyone aware of the reasons behind this trip. First and foremost we want to raise money and awareness of 2 important charities. To find out more got to www.skatenewzealand.com/charities so far we have raised over 13% of out target and we haven’t even started skating yet.
We also wanted this trip to be a positive advert for skateboarding. I truly believe that I wouldn’t be the person I am; wouldn’t have made the decisions I have made, met the friends that I hold closest and travelled to the places I have visited if my Mum and Dad hadn’t got me a £3 skateboard for my 6th birthday. This trip is only an extension of that. We will all make new friends, meet new people, visit new places and leave with new memories. It’s funny how a plank of wood can change your lives.
