June 21 every year, as well as being winter solstice here in NZ, is international Go Skateboarding Day.
Everybody bring their whole quiver if you can and drag anyone else who wants to have a go.
Helmets and gloves compulsory for the stadium, recommended at other times
Agenda:
13:00 Meet at the Waitangi Park Bowl
13:15 Cruise to Stock Exchange for Dancing/boardwalking or Hockey (if I can get hold of gear)
14:30 (or when we're bored with that) Cruise to stadium ramps for sliding/ bombing the spirals
15:30 Whatever happens, happens. Maybe a mass-cruise around the waterfront

Meet down the waterfront in the early afternoon. Bring as many board as we can and try to get as many passers by as possible to have a go.

Hockey outside the stock exchange?
Slide clinic on the stadium ramps? (obviously needs some experts)
Dancing/board walking clinic on the waterfront? (needs experts too)
Treasure hunt?
how about we just do all of
