Jackson and Gabe have packed their bags and heading over the ditch to Bro Town to represent Sector 9 and Hopkin Racing. It is the March 2011 New Zealand Tour. The boys will be emailing in what they are up to and the first installment is from Jacko. Crawling out of bed to report in... When I travel, I like to pimp it out and go full style. Having a membership to the Qantas Club has its perks - flight lounge, bar, food, somewhere to chill. Gabe and I made sure we got to the airport at least 2 hours early to make good use of these facilities, and boy did we make good use of them. The next best thing was the free booze we got on the plane. We're on holidays, time to get messy. After a few hours of drinking on a plane we landed in Wellington and were picked up by Max and Api and taken to the skate house where we cracked the bottles of Galliano, we got hell cheap in Duty free, and got settled right in with the New Zealand skate crew. The next morning we rubbed the crust from our hours and awoke to a beautiful sunny day, perfect conditions to go skateboarding. Wellington is just a town of hills. Super steep suburban runs that just don't stop going up and up. Max, Api and Ash took us out for a quick tour of their local hood and some of the epic hills that this city has to offer. We shredded some fast wide and open streets with nice big sweeping corners and also skated some hectic narrow, steep and busy as hell slide runs that kept going for at least 3 or 4 kms. There is so much fun stuff to skate here, looking forward to the next few days shredding in Bro-Town with rad crew. For now its safety meeting time, adjust to a new time zone and shake off the jet-lag (or hangover). Jacko
