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.

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

2nd – Will Hobbs (Christchurch)
3rd – Sean Burgess (Ashburton)

2nd – Tom Gal­li­gan (Christchurch)
3rd – Isaak Calvert (Greymouth)

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.
