ALBANY!

tell us about this road, how long it is, traffic, best days to ride, days to avoid, how fast you can go, different styles it may be suited for, road surface and any other details you want to add!
Cemetary!
No cars, buttery smooth concrete and nice corners.
cemetry
its where the s@*&s at. full of mellowness but also can get pretty intense at certain parts also it means that cars arnt a factor
longboarding,push,tuck,finish badabing badaboom
cemetry
Another vote for waikumete cemetry. Left some skin on the seal there last night...f&** it. Also one tree hill...first place I rode...Grand dr is good and has grass run off both sides with no curbs. Bollard ave right next to grand dr is a really mellow little strip good for learning tricks. And westgate dr behind westgate shops has a really mellow hill...great for beginners and some bigger stuff.
Clonbern rd
Its off remuera rd. Long and Cruisy. Near one tree hill
Lansford crescent
in avondale by the ice skating rink. really smooth and nice steady slope, good for ameteurs.
