Did Someone Say SKATE?

Just as Mum and Cassie headed off back to Mildura Sunday morning, Tristo promptly appeared at the front door boards in hand and with a nice digital SLR to play with and a day full of warm sunshine.. We aimlessly headed off down the back streets exploring and adventuring, finding a pretty sweet two-level car park that joined up on the road, so we got some speed up and sessioned that for a while.. We adventured through a huge park with heaps of things to play on and there was a race track with these little bike/cars kids were racing that were surprisingly fast! Across town down south we found the Gillies St Markets which happen one a month at a little primary school and have heaps of vintage clothing (meaning hot girls) and lots of wicked food and music to check out.. We had a bit of a sus of everything on display and tried out all the samples and got some wicked little pancakes..

We eventually got lunch at the central markets in the asian food court just as they were packing up and got the $5 all you can eat special! There was stacks of little things to explore on the way up there going down random streets and alleys, lots of wicked street art and designs hidden away in courtyards off the beaten track.. We ventured back home following the torrens (the river) which has some pretty rad smooth and windy tracks which are perfect for a carve on the longboard..

Following reports of rain tuesday, we headed out to Henly Beach monday morning to explore.. We longboarded up along the beach to Grange beach and checked out the happenings down there running into some people we knew out that way.. We also checked out where the torrens meets the ocean which has a curved concrete waterfall which is the perfect winch spot, so thats now been added to the list.. Looking for cheap dinner again we found ourselves at the casino where they put on an awesome burger, beer and chips deal for less than $10! We watched the cricket for a while and explored the casino before heading to City Skate (awesome skate park under lights in the middle of the city), and everyone was just leaving so we had the whole park to ourselves and shredded for about 3 hours until we could barely move, but we learnt a bunch of new things which was sic..

Finally today (Tuesday) it was still pretty warm and the rain hadn't yet exposed itself so we jumped on the computer looking for a new skate park to explore.. We found ourselves in Mt Barker (which is in the Adelaide Hills) and explored the town, its really just another hills town with a whole bunch of bakerys and op shops.. After driving a lot of circles we found ourselves at this awesome skate park up on a hill over looking a huge lake (another perfect winch spot) and we played there for ages till we again could barely walk.. It was sic as we both learnt some more new things and skating with other people like that is awesome to push each other and progress.. There were also these young locals there killing it which was sic to watch..

All in all an awesome couple of days and im totally wrecked, but really hope it doesnt rain tomorrow for as long as possible so i can fit some more in!! Heres a couple pics of the trip along the way::
