Colt Cannon lovin it. After four demos in various places across the North Island, we ended up in the capital Wellington, located in the south part of the North Island. This city is considered by many to host the best street skating on the island. Those who come here don't argue the point, it does have a lot to offer. However, there's one main problem, the weather sucks for most of the year.
Skaters are always up against weather fronts from the South Pole containing rain and drizzle.
After a demo in a hockey rink, we flew over to the South Island to do a demo in Christchurch. But once we reached our destination, a change of atmosphere occurred within our crew. I couldn't quite put my finger on these subtle differences to understand what had happened, but after a demo the following day, we were out of there. By now, all the skaters were getting tired. Lopez was suffering from a tweaked ankle and couldn't skate at all, and Colt's toe had been healing from an in-growing toenail operation he'd had a few weeks back, he was feeling the pain.
