More than a week ago now, we went to the 2011 Cheapskates Otago Skateboarding Regionals that were held in Wanaka.

The competition was run in a jam format with runs for the finals in the 16 & Under and Open sections. As usual Wanaka had fantastic weather and a fun day was had by all. A large contingent traveled up from Dunedin by car and van.

The placings were:

Open
1st – Digby Luxton (Wanaka)
2nd – Olly Wilson (Wanaka)
3rd – Josh Wilson (Wanaka)

16 & Under
1st – Hootie Andrewes (Dunedin)
2nd – PJ Wybrow (Dunedin)
3rd – Josh Bamford (Christchurch)

13 & Under
1st – Niwa Warner (Dunedin)
2nd – Daniel Bridgman (Dunedin)
3rd – Todd Wilkins (Wanaka)

Best Trick
Ashley Low (Dunedin)

Here’s some footage from the day.

A road trip isn’t complete with skating at the parks along the way.
In the morning we stopped of at Alexandra for a skate and leg stretch.

On the way home a detour brought us to Queenstown. The sun was going down when we arrived and we were all tired and burnt, but we had a good skate there until it got dark.

2011 Cheapskates Canterbury Skateboarding Regionals

October 10th, 2011 by william | No Comments | Filed in Christchurch, clip, competition

More than a week ago now, we went to the 2011 Cheapskates Canterbury Skateboarding Regionals that were held in Christchurch. There is an article on the Skate Skool site with the results and some excellent pictures of the competitors by Andy Brown. The event was well run, with Christchurch putting on some good weather for the occasion.

The placings were:

Open
1st – Jack Dar­gan (Christchurch)
2nd – Will Hobbs (Christchurch)
3rd – Sean Burgess (Ashburton)

16 & Under
1st – PJ Wybrow (Dunedin)
2nd – Tom Gal­li­gan (Christchurch)
3rd – Isaak Calvert (Greymouth)

13 & Under
1st – Cade Wilson-Russ (Grey­mouth)
2nd – Dan Kelcher (Christchurch)
3rd – Daniel Bridge­man (Dunedin)

Girls
1st – Han­nah Kennedy (Christchurch)
2nd – Mikayla Gilmore (Christchurch)

Best Trick
Billy Mclachlan

It’s taken a while to for me to get the footage from the day processed. The editing didn’t take too long but finding out how to render the 1080i footage into 720p in a size that was easy to upload and didn’t suffer too much from compression was more difficult. Anyway for those of you that were there and want to see your run or those who weren’t there and want to see how the skaters performed, below is the finals of all three sections and the best trick from the day.

Some other New Zealand Clips

September 13th, 2011 by william | No Comments | Filed in Auckland, Dunedin, bowl, clip

Here are some other New Zealand Clips with a Dunedin connection that have made their way onto the internet. The first, filmed and edited by Jono Manning on his Flip. Now a Flip isn’t the latest and greatest camera, but it’s cool to see stuff like this hitting the web, and the clip is entertaining. Just an skate at the Dunedin park, with most of the usual locals. Starring Finn Roberts, Hootie Andrewes, Daniel Bridgman, PJ Wybrow, Jack Bryne, Josh Malthus and Andrew Pope

Another lowtec offering is this clip filmed by Josh Malthus around the time of the opening of the Mangawhai Bowl complex. Filmed on a pretty basic Sony, this clip features Justin Keeley, Morri, Jason Parks, Keith Duffy, Dave Crabb and others. You get a good idea of the bowls from this, perhaps better than most photos that I’ve seen.

Goes to show you don’t need much to make an really entertaining and cool video.
