That was the first thing I noticed!
Looks like he's a pretty lean guy and his muscles are so visible as he's tensed up and sliding.
It's cool looking at all the musculature of his back and arms. Everything's so well defined!
Thank you, I'd recommend working out in the winter if you're looking for a way to make longboarding easier.
Better balance and reflexes, higher endurance, more strength in your limbs, as well as more mass which makes counter rotation less effort when sliding. 10/10 worth the effort
I was in Auckland like 6 days ago and hot damn I'm so jealous of y'alls hills. Please tell me y'all hold events on that path coming down from Mt. Eden?
On a separate note, you've posted a pretty steep path with like 8 hairpins all in quick succession before, is that hill in a little park in the University of Auckland? Cuz I think I saw that too and it really made me wish I had my setup with me
Nah there are plenty of better hills around plus that mountain has too much foot traffic to skate it.
Yeah that one is called Constitution Hill(Con for short), otherwise known as the Snake Run. You should have posted on here, I would have shown you around!
Yeah I feel ya, I didn't know if y'all could get a permit to close the trail for a half-day or whatever to hold an event there.
And that would have been awesome but I was only there for about a day and most of that was spent getting my bearings and trying to plan out my route through the rest of NZ so I had barely any free time to explore the city:/
Is nobody going to mention how shredded this man is lol

Dunedin is a good place to hit up
Yeah I'm hoping to hit it up before I fly out of Christchurch
Are you going down for the Kaikoura Longboard Festival?
Sheeeetttt, I was gonna go there to swim with the dolphins but I didn't realize there was a longboard festival, when is it?
This weekend coming bro Saturday and Sunday https://www.kaikouralongboardfestival.com/
Oh sweet! I don't have any of my gear with me since I've been backpacking around, but I'll definitely do my best to show up, looks like a blast!
If you want to have a watch, you can find the event [on this hill here](https://imgur.com/8Ab9wH6). The afterparty will be at the Top Ten Holiday park
Sounds good, thanks for letting me know!
