farewell gift
On the last night of our trip we were drinking with Nikki, originally a Lower Hutt girl who is now a Tattoo artist in Melbourne. She asked if we wanted a tat – I pussed but Fox was keen to get his little bro’s name on his leg. I sketched out an idea and they...
fivestar flatground – final leg
Crisp site to wake up to. Fox snapped his board just as he had warmed up. Commence the task of gripping and setting up a freshy. Mat with a 50-50. Mat again with a kickflip over this five stair footpath gap. Luke was down to skate this restaurant’s deck. All of these spots were on...
fivestar flatground – leg five
Some pictures from leg five of our roady. Diamond Head to Yamba. Flat tyre just as it got dark wasn’t the best. Yamba had some mean Kangys. Firewood round up. Festering around the fire. Torch batteries died, so we used our fire-starters to make this Indiana Jones flame stick to do the mission up the...
fivestar flatground – leg four
I wouldn’t really recommend sleeping on Bondi Beach. Waking up to people laughing and heckling you while they walk or jog past isn’t exactly the biggest confidence boost to start your morning with! Cruised around with McInnes for the day and scoped a couple of spots out. Had a mellow roll at Waterloo Park, where...
fivestar flatground – leg three
Woke up in the morning and tried to spot some of the frogs we’d been hearing all night. No such luck, so we peaced it from our one night site and set our sights on Sydney. Came across this perfect round bar outside a liquor store in Picton as we were leaving. “Check it…” When...
fivestar flatground – leg two
We didn’t realise how much we’d scored it with this free camping ground until the morning – free hot showers – which were probably cleaner than your showers at home. Feeling fresh and clean it was time to hit the road again, heading for Canberra. Pulled over to check out some gnarly Kangaroo road kill....
fivestar flatground – leg one
Luke’s old man had a car in Melbourne – and asked us if we would want to drive it up to Brisbane for him – we couldn’t pass up an opportunity to drive up the coast of Aus, so a spur of the moment camping road trip was on. We mapped out our route –...
geelong
The other day we caught a train from Melbourne down to Geelong, which is about an hour trip – to skate their massive new park and scope spots. This park was ridiculous, right on the water and massive. They have huge speakers built in around the park that apparently you can plug iPods if you...
sunday sequence #6
At the moment me and Luke Fox are over in Melbourne staying with the homie Mat Kinsman. This city’s so dope – the amount of good spots around is ridiculous. Here’s a few sequences from yesterday at Lincoln Square. Check back soon for more updates from our trip.
aftermath / strung out
Last night our homies Aftermath opened for Strung Out at San Fran. As always, they put on a dope show and the new tunes sounded amazing (Strung Out were also amazing).

Here’s a few more photos from the Empire trip we did to Tauranga earlier in the year. I thought I’d lost this roll of film somewhere along the way because I was one short when we got back, but came across it the other day. All photos by Mike Lamb, Fujifilm Superia 200
local bank
Caught up with Ihaia yesterday while in his hometown of Rotorua, to shoot this super clean fakie half-cab flip into the bank.
broke the chain
Winter sucks. This past weekend it pissed down every time we tried to go skate. Literally, it’d be dry – I’d get in the car go pick up whoever was keen – and on our way to a spot it’d start raining. This happened on three separate occasions. So on Sunday night we headed straight...
