I Think i Now what New Zealand Needs........

New Zealand needs an international skateboarding tournament something like a 3 or 4 day comp with big names such as Tony Hawk and local champs such as Bernie Foo, something like a skate comp would really get us on the map as well as expose local talent.

Forums: The Bar,

Oh, like X-Air?

hahahaha, well done.

I think the LAST thing New Zealand (and any other country) needs is a skatie champs.
Just think, a few spotty Sum 41 fans sitting on their boards, whilst the Slipknot/AFI fans are hiding in the shadows pretenting not to like the 'olly' action, but really are getting their thrills.
What NZ needs is a compition on who can the pick the most bins of Royal Galas (without bruising) in an 8 hour shift, whilst HDU are playing fucking loud down your row of apples.
I bet I can do 6 bins.
No disrespect to Tony Hawke, he is good at his job, and quite an athlete.
Pity he dresses like a homo, and his athletic skills resemble a sub-standard Tim Henman.

//6 bins
It's been some 13 years but I'm in.

since when does wearing shorts and a shirt make a person a 'homo'??

Im on the other end of that produce line. How about a stacking competition!? We sort of do that with the design of the carrots at my work.

Get out of that cave you live in.

said in jest

Sorry mate that was for Sam. He should have known that X-Air has been going on for a couple of years now.

dang i think your right saidinjest, i should keep up with the world.

yeh but xair is a long term kinda thang. i agree we need a 4 day thang that gets da best kiwis out from in da shadows and do sumthin bout them!

And now in English!

Yes, but X-Air is a long term kind of thing. I agree we need a 4 day thing that gets the best kiwis out from in the shadows and do something about them!

Yeah .. still doesn't make much sense.

i wundah where all dis nu-inglish cumz from innit it sownz like some geezah ripped off da modun vershun ofh it innit???

i hate this sort of new wave english spoken by a new generation of lameoids.

And I'm sure they hate you to Chris. I'm sure they hate you.

As long as we understand each other or even so "CLICK" at the sight of any unusual slangs etc then you'll be fine on the grammer. This skatey comp sounds like a wicked & also a comp that should of been done by now..whats wrong with this country?!?!!

Sam... what da fuck??!!! do you skate???
this is shocking!!! You suck!!!

grampa i used to skate, stopped 5 years ago but still watch it on TV if its playing.

i suck at skating!!!!

NZ, or Auckland at least, needs a better public transport system. I hate spending 10 bucks (and close to 3 hours) a day on buses to and from the city. Compare this with Melbourne where trams and trains come every 10 minutes and $3.50 (i think) gets you a full day pass. I know they have the population to sustain it, but c'mon, the public transport round these parts sucks.

yer, but you have to take into account the huge differance in car prices aswell

i hate the public transport in auckland.

i reckon!!!

think its bad in auckland?? its much worse down here, the trains we use are almost 25 years old, and despite talk of replacing them i dont seem to see this happening anytime in the forseeable future. also there should be more trains on saturday nights from town-upper hutt cos the buses only go to upper hutt Via Request.

Sam, have you ever been to Auckland? When?

Sam, have you ever been to Wellington?

// cos the buses only go to upper hutt Via Request.

How is that a problem?

// $3.50

$5.20

I drove through Upper Hutt during the holidays.
Have you been to Hamilton Sam?

- heather im in town twice a week
- irieman yep ive been to hamilton but this was about 10 years ago
- Tclack i was in Auckland for a week for the BDO/Sweetwaters concerts 5 years ago

//its much worse down here
i swear to god sam, you must be joking... i mean you cannot be that disallusioned...
no he cant possibly have been to auckland... or wellington... or even hamilton... if he thinks that is bad...
huh, this is like when my class went down to wellington for a day and the bus driver was like- "oh im so sorry girls that we have to go slow... we're just entering rush hour traffic..." (at 6pm) we all look out the window... we're going at least 60... cars free flowing...
yeah i dont think the driver could realise why we were laughing...

You have smoked yourself retarded.
