Which has nicer roads for bombing?
Speeds of up to 65 km/h?
wellington
never been there, but auckland is just.. sad
pointless
both places have COUNTLESS amazing hills, roads, paths and runs....
welly is highly tech with interesting layout that means most bus runs lead back to the same place
Ak has some faster runs, more roads and more riders. Con hill still gets me moist in my manites and dont get me started on all of the new butter smooth subdivisions!
I have lived in both centres and would rate both as FREAKING amazing for different reasons.
hey jestah what areas are
hey jestah what areas are all the sweet new subdivisions in?
all over ak
seen a few out west, seen a few out south, north has a few... east, um... not so sure... Sounds like its time to do some scouting in the eastern block!
East
Rocks the new buttery smooth subdivisions.
The feel of surfing... with the chance of dying.
yea im thinking when i had
yea im thinking when i had to travel out to tamaki for uni, some of those roads would be sweet
Dunedin/wanaka....
Dunedin/Wanaka Win the gnarly hill award for sure.....
wanaka has three
hills man, one of them is the crown range and that is a good road but dunedin rules, thats where the gnar is
Auckland vs Wellington tho... cant say, have not rode ak before
.
both mean places, both mean skaters. why are asking this may i ask?
wellington
u don't have to bus around to every hill. most of them are within skating distance in the city. and the ones that arn't in the city are 3km's of winding downhill
